Private basement entrances
A separate entrance turns your basement into something more: a rental you can earn from, an ADU for family, or simply a brighter lower level with its own door to the backyard. We design, obtain permits, and build the entrance, stairs, and drainage.
Why add a private entrance?
Rental income
A private entrance is what makes a basement apartment feel like a real residence rather than just part of someone's house.
Home value
Finished, accessible basement space adds usable square footage buyers and appraisers actually count.
Light & livability
A walkout or stairwell entrance brings in daylight and makes the whole lower level feel more like a home.
What we handle
- ✓ Design and layout of the entrance, stairwell, and door
- ✓ Excavation, concrete or block retaining walls, and railings
- ✓ A quality exterior door, double or single, built to last
- ✓ Proper drainage so the stairwell stays dry
- ✓ Engineering, permit paperwork and inspection
Common questions
Will a basement entrance let me rent out the basement?+
A private, code-compliant entrance is the key piece that makes a basement apartment or ADU legally rentable. We build it to meet the requirements and handle the permit.
How long does a basement entrance take to build?+
Most projects run one to a few weeks depending on excavation, concrete, and door lead times. We'll give you a clear timeline with your quote.
Do you handle the permit and inspection?+
Yes. We pull the permit, build to code, and coordinate the inspection so everything is approved.
