Before We Quote

What We Need to Review

  • Existing layout or plans
  • Desired wall and door locations
  • Ceiling obstructions and utilities
  • Whether permits are required
  • Whether electrical, plumbing or HVAC work is part of the larger project
  • Whether another contractor is managing the full project

Multi-Trade Basement Projects

Projects involving multiple construction trades are typically part of a larger contractor-directed renovation. Cedergren Renovations can provide the carpentry portion of those projects as a subcontractor.
