Does a basement remodel add value to my home?

Yes. Finished basements add highly desirable living space and increase resale value, especially in Minnesota.

What if my basement has moisture problems?

We address water and insulation issues before finishing, so your space stays dry, healthy, and long-lasting.

How long does a remodel usually take?

It depends on complexity. Simple remodels may take only a few months, while full remodels with multiple moving parts can take six months or longer. Your best option for estimating the length of your remodel is to schedule a free consultation.

Can I add a full bathroom to my lower level?

In many cases – yes! We’ll evaluate plumbing and drainage options to ensure it’s both practical and efficient.

Do I need a city permit for my remodel?

Most basement remodels do require permits, especially if you’re adding bedrooms, bathrooms, or changing electrical and plumbing. Titus handles the permitting process for you, so everything meets code and passes inspection.

What if my basement is small?

We love to problem-solve. A smaller lower level can still shine with the right design. We focus on smart layouts, built-in storage, and multi-purpose rooms to make every square foot feel intentional and spacious.

Do you work with unfinished basements?

Absolutely. Some clients come to us with an already finished (but underwhelming) space and some come to us with more work needed upfront. We’re up to both challenges.

How much does it cost to remodel a basement or lower level?

Costs can vary significantly. Whether your basement is currently finished or needs work will heavily impact the cost. Square footage, desired layout, and selected materials all increase the scope of work. Generally, our basement projects start at $70,000, with a typical range of $50,000 - $200,000.

Basements and Lower Levels Remodeling

Luxurious Finished Basements

A lower level has its own kind of magic. It’s where movie nights linger long after the credits, where good-natured arguments break out over board games, and where a guest room feels like a home-away-from-home. With the right design, a basement becomes more than extra square footage: it becomes the backdrop for family traditions, quiet escapes, and endless memories.

Remodeling your lower level opens up possibilities you may not have imagined. By bringing light, flow, and purpose into the space, Titus Contracting helps homeowners turn what was once “just the basement” into one of the most beloved parts of the home.

Why Remodel Your Basement or Lower Level?

Too many basements sit underused, serving as storage or catch-all space.

Remodeling transforms them into:

Comfortable living areas designed for relaxation or entertaining
Flexible rooms for hobbies, work, or visiting guests
Functional layouts that connect seamlessly with the rest of your home
Higher resale value with every square foot of finished space
Year-round comfort through thoughtful design and construction

We move beyond a basic finished basement and into highly optimized, high-end lower labels. A remodeled lower level doesn’t just give you more space: it gives you better space, tailored to the way you and your family actually live.

Popular Basement and Lower Level Features

Every remodel is different, and your lower level can be anything but “just the basement.” With the right design, it becomes a destination: a place where family gathers, guests feel at home, and your lifestyle gets a little more room to breathe. Some most-requested features include:

Family room and media room
Wet bar or kitchenette
Home office or study space
Game room or playroom
Home gym or yoga studio
Additional bedrooms or bathrooms
Custom storage solutions and built-ins
Specialty rooms like wine cellars, craft rooms, or movie rooms

Your lower level can be as simple as a big, multi-purpose area or it can be an extension of your home with multiple zones and rooms. Whatever your vision, Titus helps you maximize every square foot and create a space that feels purposeful, welcoming, and seamlessly connected to the rest of your home.

Why Choose Titus Contracting?

With Titus, function always comes first. That means your remodel is built around how you’ll actually live, while still giving you a polished and beautiful space.

We’ve transformed basements across Minnesota into vibrant, functional living spaces. Your lower level doesn’t just feel “finished.” It will feel like home.

What Our Clients Say

A neighbor recommended Titus to me after she used them for a kitchen remodel, and I am so glad I trusted her recommendation! I was impressed from the beginning! My first meeting was with Stephanie, who was so excited about my project. They and their vendors were extremely courteous of our "space," and did everything they could to make the remodel as painless as possible. Jose' went above and beyond my expectations as the job supervisor, checking in with me almost daily, being available whenever I had a question and providing me with weekly summaries of what had been accomplished and what work would be done the following week. He continues to be a resource if I have any questions at all about my house! I cannot say enough great things about Titus Contracting and look forward to working with them on my next remodeling project!

Maggie Seder

We did a two story home addition with Titus Contracting. They did an amazing job making sure everything was covered and thought of in detail. They gave us plenty of time to go through all the documents, review them, ask questions, adjust plans.

Andy K.

Everyone involved in my project - whether they were employees or subcontractors - made it very clear they wanted me to be happy with their work. In fact, I was awed by it! In a couple of instances, workers returned weeks after the completion of the project to make minor tweaks; additional examples of Titus's attention to detail. It is a testament to the quality of the work and the experience that I missed not seeing the Titus crew come in on a near-daily basis.

Cynthia S.

Titus contracting did an excellent job gutting and redoing our master bathroom. It is everything we needed & wanted. Money well spent. I highly recommend them.

Rachel B.

Titus Contracting did a marvelous job managing our home addition. Communication, solutions thinking, and quality of work were exceptional. Our project manager Tracy was responsive and fun to work with! Our new room is beautiful and exactly what we dreamed. Thank you!!

Roxanne K.

Titus remodeled our entire house and made it our home! During the 10-month project, all staff and crew members were onsite when promised and the project was completed on budget. Our project included a lot of work from all the trades, and they were on time, respectful, and always left a clean jobsite. With a project of this size there were bound to be a few challenges and surprises, and Titus staff always handled them with the utmost professionalism, patience, and trustworthiness. We even had many laughs along the way!

John J.

Scott at Titus has been fantastic. He listened to our needs and worked with us to create a plan for how we could achieve our goals with our house. The folks at Titus are thorough, conscientious and great partners. We highly recommend!

Robert B.

Over the years we have done several major remodeling projects to our homes and vacation properties; and as a result have experienced "the good, the bad, and the ugly" of do-it-yourself, handymen, and professional remodelers. As a result, we can say without exception that Titus is the top of the line. From the start of the project to the final walk through, they are professional but personal, always available to answer questions, ready to make changes (or advise not to do so), and truly caring about our results.
