Lexington neighborhoods from Chevy Chase to Hamburg — we know the basements
Older Chevy Chase homes need moisture barrier attention; newer Hamburg subdivisions often have unfinished walk-outs ready for quick conversion. We assess before we quote.
Moisture assessment before a single stud goes up
We inspect every Lexington basement for hydrostatic pressure, efflorescence, and drainage issues before starting any finish work. Framing over unaddressed moisture ruins the investment.
Egress windows included in scope when bedrooms are planned
LFUCG code requires egress windows for sleeping rooms in basements. We install them as part of the project — no separate contractor, no gap in the schedule.
