Basement Remodeling & Finishing in St. Louis, MO
Turn an unfinished basement into the space your home is missing — a family room, guest suite, home office, or rec room. We design, build, and handle the permits across the St. Louis metro.
An unfinished basement is the biggest untapped opportunity in most St. Louis homes — square footage you're already paying for, just waiting to become real living space. Finishing it is one of the most cost-effective ways to add room without the expense of an addition. St. Louis Kitchen Remodel Co. designs and builds finished basements across the metro, from our home base in Webster Groves, and we handle the project from framing to the final coat of paint.
Whether you want a comfortable family room, a guest bedroom, a home office, a wet bar for entertaining, or a full basement suite with its own bathroom, our in-house design team helps you plan a layout that fits your home and how you'll use it.

Finishing a basement is regulated work — most projects in St. Louis County require permits, and adding a bedroom or bathroom triggers specific requirements like egress windows and proper plumbing and electrical. We're familiar with local requirements and handle the permitting and inspections so your finished basement is safe, legal, and adds documented, code-compliant square footage. That protects both your family and your home's value at resale.
