Our Basement Renovation Process

Surfside Builders Group proudly takes on every aspect of your basement renovation project. This simplifies the process because you don’t need to hire multiple companies to get the job done. Here’s what our design/build process entails:

  • Understand client expectations: Our first goal is to learn your wants, needs, and goals for finishing your basement. If our services seem like the right fit, we’ll move on to the next step.
  • Complete the design process: As a design/build basement renovation company, we can take your project from concept to completion. The design phase involves creating drawings, renderings, and concept art to help you envision the final product. Our team also presents you with a detailed cost estimate, so you know our services will fit your budget.
  • Sign the contract and begin construction: Once we have your approval, our build team gets to work bringing your vision to life. We won’t deem the job complete until you sign off on the final walk-through of your finished basement.

OUR PROCESS

DESIGN
STEP1
Our process starts with an on-site meeting with a designer to understand your goals, expectations, needs, and wants. From there, we’ll develop a design, select materials, and prepare a detailed budget.
REFINE
STEP2
After the initial design, you’ll have time to review and consider all aspects of the project and refine it until you’ve signed off on the final designs and decisions.
BUILD
STEP3
Once all the logistics are in place, we’re ready to get to begin construction. We will keep you informed throughout the build, and we aren’t done until the final walk-through ensures you’re thrilled with the results.

With over 15 years of experience transforming Santa Monica basements, the expert team at Surfside Builders Group knows all the ins and outs of basement remodels in the area. We handle everything from obtaining proper permits to final clean up and every detail in between. Read on to learn why Surfside Builders should be your first call for basement remodeling services.

The Benefits of a Remodeled Basement. A remodeled basement adds valuable living area to your home. The most common basement additions include extra bedrooms, home gyms, home theaters, game rooms, wine cellars, hobby/craft rooms, home offices, and more. The possibilities are truly endless. Not only does a remodeled basement add enjoyment and functionality to your home life, but it can also add financial value to your Santa Monica property.

Surfside Builders Group works closely with Santa Monica’s stringent building codes and inspection processes to ensure your remodeled basement meets all safety and regulation standards. And you can have confidence knowing there will be no shortcuts or overlooked details by working with Surfside’s basement remodeling experts. We take care of all required permits and coordination with local building authorities for a smooth inspection process.

The Surfside Basement Remodeling Process. Every basement remodeling project begins with an initial consultation. This is your opportunity to discuss your vision for the space with our design team. We want to fully understand how you plan to utilize the basement and tailor suggestions and ideas accordingly. For example, a home theater design will look entirely different than a children’s playroom or home office.

Next, we develop final blueprints detailing the layout, materials, lighting design, storage solutions and all other elements of the remodel. Nothing is left out or decided arbitrarily. The final designs mimic your unique style and needs.

Once plans are approved, Surfside’s demolition team begins by removing any existing walls, flooring and materials currently in the basement. We dispose of all debris offsite so you don’t have to worry about dust or clutter during this preliminary stage. Next, Surfside’s licensed electricians and plumbers rough-in any necessary new electrical, lighting, or plumbing that is called for in the new basement design.

The Surfside construction crew then frames new walls and adds insulation, drywall, trims and all finishing touches like new flooring, cabinetry/storage solutions, bathroom fixtures, wine storage, or home bar depending on your approved design. We also take care of patching existing ceiling and walls affected by the remodel so everything looks seamless. Finally, we install all lighting, accessories, mirrors and other unique design details you’ve selected.

The result is a basement transformed into a beautiful extension of your living space reflecting the style and functions needed for your Santa Monica home.

Frequently Asked Questions About Basement Renovations

Yes! Consider that, unlike other home additions, an unfinished basement already has walls, ceilings, and floors before you even begin to renovate, saving you money on your project. Basement renovations also offer unique opportunities to improve your quality of life, and the project offers an impressive return on investment of around 79%.

The project typically costs between $7 and $50 per square foot, so you could expect to spend between $7,000 and $50,000 to finish a 1,000-square-foot basement. If drywall and concrete floors are already installed, anticipate lower costs. If you install luxury fixtures and finishes, the price tag will land on the higher end of the spectrum. Don’t forget to factor in furniture and decor as well.

Yes. In fact, adding an extra bedroom or apartment suite in the basement is a popular trend in 2022. The bedroom must include a code-compliant egress window. This means the window must be large enough (at least 24 inches tall with a 5.7-square-foot opening) and low enough (no more than 44 inches above the finished floor) to escape through in an emergency.

We contracted Surfside Builders Group to do a basement renovation which included installing a new bathroom. Site supervisor Simon did an excellent job of coordinating the many sub-contractors to ensure that the project kept on schedule. As a result, our renovation project was completed on schedule which is something you don’t hear very often with home renovations. The sub-contractors showed up when expected and completed their work in a professional manner. We were very happy with the completed basement renovation, the quality of work and the attention to detail. We would definitely recommend Surfside Builders Group for any home renovations you are considering.

Core Value Highlighted in this Experience: Knowledge & Expertise

Simply outstanding. We've had 5 separate contractors work on our antique Victorian home over the last 15 years, all engaged to implement modern, state-of-the-art, minimalist/contemporary design directions within our 1896 exterior. Without question --and by a large margin --Simon and his colleagues at Surfside Builders Group remain the hands-down winners in every respect. We would be hard-pressed to put our admiration of and appreciation for Simon and Surfside Builders Group into words: they delivered superlative work under or within spitting distance of our budget; there were no surprises on budget or timing; their communication is excellent; their trades are highest quality in performance.

Core Value Highlighted in this Experience: Passion

From the outset, and throughout the project, Surfside Builders Group staff were a pleasure to work with. They provided a package for our condominium corporation containing all necessary documents required -corporation application form, electrical and plumbing company licenses, insurance details, etc. The contractors were experts in their trade, respected our property and a pleasure to have in our home, since we lived there throughout the renovation. The results were everything we hoped for. The highlight of the project was working with Simon, a true expert, whose professionalism, and attention to detail ensured that the result was beyond our expectations We would not hesitate to recommend Surfside Builders Group to anyone.
