Serving New Berlin, Wisconsin

Your New Berlin basement remodeling team

New Berlin is more than a market for us. It's home. Our design showroom and office sit at 2345 S Commerce Dr, a few minutes from most New Berlin neighborhoods, and it's where every basement project on this page started: a walk-through, a set of Chief Architect drawings, and a fixed-price contract before a single stud went up. Being local means faster site visits, a showroom you can walk into without driving across the metro, and a crew that already knows the permitting process in New Berlin.

Below-Grade, Done Right

Main-floor comfort starts with building science

A finished basement is only an asset if it stays dry, warm, and quiet. We assess existing conditions first, then build a resilient environment: high-performance insulation for thermal stability and ventilation that prevents humidity buildup.
Egress solutions are installed where sleeping quarters require them, and every electrical detail is handled to code, so the space is as safe as it is comfortable.

More about basement finishing in New Berlin

More about remodeling in your area

Every home has a way of telling its own story. As a family grows and life changes, that story often needs more room to be told. The basement, frequently an overlooked space for storage or utilities, presents a remarkable opportunity to expand your living area without changing your home’s footprint.
Advantage Design + Remodel works with homeowners throughout New Berlin to help them realize this potential. Our focus is on transforming basements into fully functional and comfortable additions to your dwelling.
Our team brings deep skill in design and building, guaranteeing every aspect of your basement remodeling project aligns with your vision. We have completed many basement renovation projects in New Berlin and nearby communities, building our strong name for delivering dependable basement remodeling that New Berlin residents trust.

Expanding Your Basement Living Area

Adding living space to a home is a big decision, and finishing a basement is one of the smartest ways to do it. It provides a way to gain significant square footage and increase your property's value without the cost or disruption of a full home addition.
Your lower level can become a powerful asset, offering a comfortable and adaptable area for your family to enjoy. The space can be used for hobbies, for entertaining guests, or for simply having more room to relax.
When a basement goes from being an unused, dimly lit area to a warm, welcoming part of the home, it changes how your family interacts and lives.
Our goal is to build a lower level that feels completely connected to the rest of your residence. We ensure the design, materials, and lighting all work together to create an area that serves your family’s needs and fits with your home’s overall character. This is about making your existing property work better for you, and for your family, now and in the future.

Giving Your Basement a Clear Purpose

A finished basement provides a blank slate with endless possibilities for how you live. We work directly with you to create a space that meets your exact needs, giving a clear purpose to every square foot. In New Berlin, we have seen homeowners use their new lower levels in many ways.
For some, it becomes the ultimate spot for entertainment, a dedicated home theater for movie nights, or a casual family lounge for games and conversation.
For others, a finished space is the answer to needing more private areas. We can design comfortable guest bedrooms with attached bathrooms for visiting family, or quiet home offices away from the noise of the main floor.
Some homeowners choose to create a personal home gym, a specialized hobby room, or a dedicated play area for children. For those who enjoy hosting, a custom wet bar or small kitchenette can make the space a go-to spot for parties and gatherings. No matter what your family needs, your basement can be built to provide it.

Building a Solid Foundation Below Ground

Basements come with specific challenges that need careful attention. A true professional looks at all these factors to ensure your new space is not just beautiful, but also safe, healthy, and durable. In the New Berlin area, we pay close attention to the details that make the difference.
We address moisture control as a top priority, inspecting for any water issues and putting in the proper waterproofing and drainage systems. This work protects your new area from dampness and water intrusion.
These windows also bring natural light into the space, making it feel less like a basement. Our approach is to handle every technical aspect with care, laying a strong foundation for a comfortable and long-lasting finished space.

The Design Process for a Finished Space

Starting a remodeling project for your home’s lower level involves many decisions. At Advantage Design + Remodel, we streamline this process, acting as your guide from start to finish.

Common Questions

Basement remodeling questions

How long does a basement remodel take?+
Most basements run 8 to 12 weeks once construction starts. The timeline accounts for ordering and lead times, plus key milestones with updates throughout.
Will I know what my basement will look like before construction?+
Yes. You review Chief Architect drawings and 3D renderings during design and development, and key decisions are finalized before the job starts.
Who handles permits, plumbing, and electrical?+
We do. As a design-build firm, you will not need to hire a designer, architect, general contractor, plumber, or electrician separately. One team, one point of contact.
Can I stay in my home during the remodel?+
Almost all of our clients do. We set containment, floor protection, and daily cleanup standards, and use HEPA air filtration to manage dust.
