How a Basement Finish-Out Runs
How Basement Finishing Works
A typical basement finishing project moves through these stages:
Walkthrough & Estimate
We assess the space, discuss layout and use, and provide a free written estimate.
Moisture Check & Prep
We confirm the space is dry and ready to finish before framing begins — moisture issues get addressed first, not covered up.
Frame the Layout
New walls are framed to the approved plan, including any door and window openings.
Insulate & Close Walls
Insulation and vapor barrier go in where needed, then drywall is hung, taped, and finished.
Flooring & Paint
Flooring suited to the space goes down, followed by interior painting and trim.
Final Walkthrough
We walk the finished space with you and handle any touch-ups before calling the job complete.
Our Approach to Basement Finishing
Basements bring moisture considerations that other rooms don't — we confirm the space is dry and address any water issues before framing goes up, rather than finishing over a problem.
Framing in a basement often works around existing mechanicals, so we plan wall placement to keep access to panels, shutoffs, and equipment while still maximizing usable space.
We select flooring and wall materials suited to below-grade conditions, since a basement floor plan that looks right on paper can fail quickly if the materials aren't right for the environment.
What Affects Cost & Timeline
Every project is different, so we quote after a walkthrough rather than guessing over the phone. Here's what generally moves the price and schedule:
Total square footage being finished
Number of rooms and framed walls in the new layout
Existing moisture conditions and any prep work required
Electrical and plumbing rough-in scope
Flooring material selected for below-grade use

“AMV Construction Group did a great job on our kitchen remodel. The team was professional, communicated with us throughout the project, and paid close attention to the details. We're extremely happy with how everything turned out and would definitely recommend AMV to anyone looking for renovation work in the Charlotte area.”

“We had a great experience working with AMV Construction Group on our bathroom renovation. They helped transform the space and the quality of the work really shows, especially the tile and finishing details. The team was reliable, easy to work with, and kept us updated throughout the process. We would absolutely work with them again.”

“AMV Construction Group did an excellent job with our commercial renovation and build-out. They understood what we were trying to accomplish and worked with us to create a professional, functional space. The team communicated well throughout the project and delivered quality work. I would recommend AMV to other business owners looking for a dependable contractor in the Charlotte area.”

“If I could give Alberto and AMV 100 stars I would! He did my kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room and I can’t say enough good things about him and his employees. Everything was done on time, if not early, and their work is meticulous. If a problem arose, it was solved and fixed before I could even stress about it. Easily the smoothest home improvement process I’ve had, despite it being the largest. Do yourself a favor, and call AMV!”

“We have used AMV for several home improvement projects, including full bath and kitchen remodels. My husband also works in the trades and he is very picky about craftsmanship. Alberto and his team are talented construction experts AND they provide excellent service. If you’re looking for “cheap”, maybe they aren’t your best bet; but if you’re looking for quality work, that lasts, and you don’t have to chase down to get it done, and fair pricing, look no further. Highly recommend!”

“Like several of my neighbors, I used AMV CG to repair and paint the outside of my home last year. They were very responsive, thorough, professional and trustworthy. The cost was fair and they are fully insured. I will continue to use them.”

“AMV Construction completely updated our kitchen for us, put in a large picture window in our dining room and made beautiful custom barn wood shutters for the window to close at night. They also rebuilt the bases on our front porch pillars. They did an excellent job on everything and we definitely would hire them again! :) ”

“I have used AMV construction (Alberto) for many years and always get first-class workmanship and five-star service. AMV has done renovations, painting and other construction work for me. The attached photos show my laundry room full renovation and an awesome barn door in my garage Alberto constructed to hide all my garden equipment. When painting the exterior, Alberto will always find and recommend replacing rotting wood (with PVC which never rots). Many painters I have used in the past simply paint over the rotting boards. Alberto’s team always shows up on time and many of his team have been with him for years. This is an honest, professional, family-run business I would highly recommend. I live in a subdivision of Piper Glen and many of my neighbors also use the AMV Construction team for all our painting or renovation needs.”

“We have used this family owned construction and remodeling company for over six years. They are excellent and never ever any surprises. When we moved to Waxhaw, Alberto and his company remodeled the house extensively- they were right on budget, great work ethics, and wonderful updates to the kitchen, baths, sunroom, and built is an office ! We only use Alberto and his company! We have another project they will begin this month. Yes, I am sold on this family owned construction company, the brothers and their sons plus their employees ! ”

“Alberto and team have done several jobs in my homes ranging from carpet installation, bathroom remodeling, to LVP installation. His team is quick to respond, they communicate timely, and pricing is fair. You can expect that they will do an outstanding job. Alberto is my go to for any major jobs that require a quick turnover and flawlesss execution. ”

Their work is meticulous and they have great problem solving skills. I highly recommend them and will continue to use their services. ”
