Unlock the Potential of Your Lower Level

Finishing your basement is one of the most cost-effective ways to expand your home’s living space—without building an addition. A lower-level remodel gives you the opportunity to design a space that suits your lifestyle, while also adding value to your property. At Belmont Premier Remodeling located in Minnetonka, Minnesota we specialize in lower level refinishing.

Custom Layouts Designed for You

The layout of your lower level depends on how you plan to use the space. At Belmont Home Remodeling, our experienced designers work with you to create a custom design that accommodates your favorite furniture and décor, ensuring everything is proportioned correctly—no wasted space, just thoughtful design.

Your finished basement can become virtually anything:

• A playroom for the kids

• A private home office

• A dedicated craft or hobby room

• A state-of-the-art media room

• A fully equipped guest suite

• Or a multifunctional living area that blends all of the above

Popular Features for Modern Lower Levels

Some of the most requested amenities in a basement remodel include bathrooms and bar areas. Bathrooms have evolved from simple two-piece fixtures to luxury features like steam showers or walk-in showers—especially when located near a bedroom.

Bar setups range from compact snack stations to fully outfitted spaces with the feel of a neighborhood tavern.

A fireplace is another popular feature. Thanks to sealed combustion units, fireplaces can now be safely installed in lower levels without the previous concerns related to open-flame appliances. However, building codes still require make-up air for lower-level living areas to maintain air quality and prevent VOC buildup.

Boost Your Home’s Value

A high-quality, well-planned lower-level remodel doesn’t just enhance your day-to-day living—it significantly boosts your home equity. Many of our clients say that their remodeled lower level was a major selling point when they put their home on the market.

At Belmont Home Remodeling, we handle every aspect of your project in-house—from design to framing and trim. We’re a locally owned company, and lower-level remodels are our specialty. We’re proud to offer exceptional craftsmanship, completed on time and to the highest standards in the Twin Cities area.

Finishing Touches: Flooring, Cabinets, Lighting & More

Your lower level should feel like a true extension of your home—not an afterthought. Opening up staircases, adding railings, and using consistent finishes help create a seamless transition from the main floor.

Flooring:

• Carpeting is a popular choice for its warmth, comfort, and affordability.

• Laminate flooring can work well too, provided there’s a proper moisture barrier.

Cabinetry choices vary depending on your space and budget, especially in bathrooms or basement kitchens.

Lighting:

• Avoid halogen lights—they generate heat and can feel uncomfortable in basement spaces.

• Opt for 4-inch LED recessed lighting, which offers longevity (up to 50,000 hours) and energy efficiency.

• Pendant lights add personality above snack bars or kitchen islands.

• Consider crown lighting, rope lighting, or downlighting for added ambiance.
