In Royal Oak, every square foot matters, especially when your basement can become some of the most useful space in your home. Whether you’re planning a basement remodel or addressing foundation concerns, Basements Plus helps you improve the space & protect what supports it with one experienced team from start to finish.
Foundation cracks, settling, and wasted basement space can create more than one problem for Royal Oak homeowners and fixing them often means calling multiple contractors. With Basements Plus, one local, family-operated team can address the foundation, improve the space, and help you create a safer, more functional finished basement.
When we started Basements Plus in 2003, we asked a simple question: “How would we want to be treated in our own home?” That question still guides how we explain the work, communicate throughout the project, and stand behind what we do.

One company handles both, so if your basement needs waterproofing before finishing, you know who is responsible from start to finish.
We set clear expectations, keep you informed, and follow through on the details. That’s how we reduce stress and earn raving fans.
We believe contractors should stand behind their work. Qualifying systems carry a transferable lifetime warranty, while finishing includes a limited lifetime workmanship warranty for the original homeowner.
With Royal Oak’s established neighborhoods & older homes, what’s below your home matters. Addressing foundation concerns & finishing your basement properly helps protect the structure, add usable living space, & make the most of the square footage you already own.
Much of Royal Oak’s housing stock was built during the city’s major growth decades beginning in the 1940s. In established homes, foundation cracks, settling, aging basement materials, and outdated layouts are more likely to become part of the remodeling conversation
Royal Oak’s established neighborhoods make basement space especially valuable. Finishing it adds usable living space for an office, gym, guest room, or entertainment area without expanding your home’s footprint.
In an older Royal Oak home, basement finishing should start with understanding the condition of the foundation first. Addressing cracks, movement, or structural concerns before remodeling helps protect the investment you’re making upstairs and downstairs.

Yes. We pull the permits and coordinate inspections as part of the project, so you're not the one tracking down the township office or figuring out what's required.
Most basement finishing projects in this area run $65,000–$150,000. The size of the space, the rooms you include, and the finishes you choose are what create that range. A straightforward rec room costs less than a basement with a bedroom, bathroom, and wet bar. We'll work with you on a design to get you a real estimate based on your home and what you actually want out of the space. Learn more
