Basement Remodeling Built for Southern Maryland Homes

Southern Maryland's mix of older farmhouses, waterfront properties, and newer subdivisions each present their own basement challenges — from moisture management near the Patuxent and Potomac watersheds to low-ceiling spaces in older construction. We've remodeled basements across Calvert, Charles, and St. Mary's Counties and know how to plan around local soil conditions, humidity, and permitting requirements before the first wall goes up.

Whether you want a simple finished rec room or a full basement apartment with a kitchenette and bathroom, we manage the project from design through final walkthrough.

Basement Remodeling FAQs — Southern Maryland

How much does basement remodeling cost in Southern Maryland?

Cost depends heavily on scope — a basic rec room finish costs far less than a basement apartment with a full bathroom and kitchenette. Waterproofing needs, ceiling height, and egress window requirements also affect price. We provide a detailed written estimate after an in-home consultation.

Do I need a permit to finish my basement in Maryland?

Most basement finishing projects in Calvert, Charles, and St. Mary's Counties require permits, especially when adding bedrooms, bathrooms, or egress windows. We handle the permitting process as part of your project.

How do you handle moisture and flooding risk in a Southern Maryland basement?

We evaluate existing drainage, grading, and sump pump conditions before finishing begins. Depending on the site, we may recommend vapor barriers, additional drainage, or interior waterproofing systems suited to the local water table before framing and drywall go in.

Can a basement remodel add a bedroom or in-law suite?

Yes, provided the space meets Maryland building code requirements for egress windows, ceiling height, and ventilation. We design and build guest suites and in-law apartments that meet code and function as private living space.

Is Broad Creek Kitchens licensed to remodel basements in Southern Maryland?

Yes. Broad Creek Kitchens Bath and Home is a Maryland Home Improvement Commission licensed contractor (MHIC #114206) serving Calvert, Charles, and St. Mary's Counties.
