We focus on basement remodel cost transparency, quality craftsmanship, and fixed price projects with no surprises.
- Craftsmanship and Care
- Transparent Pricing

Reclaim Your Space & Turn Underutilized Square Footage into Home
A basement remodel adds more usable square footage to your home than almost any other project. Done well, it becomes a rec room, home office, guest suite, or wet bar whatever your household actually needs. Done poorly, it can turn into a money pit with moisture problems, poor insulation, and finishes that don’t last.
The difference comes down to planning and execution by experienced basement remodeling contractors in Omaha NE.
Every basement finishing project we take on starts with a proper assessment of floor drainage, moisture levels, and ceiling height. If waterproofing issues exist, we address them before any framing or drywall begins. You don’t discover problems after the work is done you prevent them from the start.
From there, you see the layout before demolition begins. Every decision is made upfront so there are no surprises later. By the time construction starts, there is a clear plan and a fixed price not an estimate that changes halfway through.
We handle everything from full basement finishing to waterproof basement remodeling in older homes. If you’re looking for a basement finishing contractor in Omaha NE who delivers exactly what was agreed, that’s what we do.

I worked with Nick at Platte + Pine on a lot clearing project for a new home build. Nick was professional, organized, and easy to coordinate with throughout the job. Communication was clear and expectations were straightforward. I’d gladly work with Platte + Pine again and would recommend them to homeowners looking for a contractor they can trust.

Amazing remodel work, I truly appreciated their transparency and honesty. They earned my trust early on and they did everything they said they were going to do and did it well. I had been worried about general contractors in the past but Nick and team truly changed my perspective and updated my home to something I am so proud of. I am grateful for their expertise and hard work along the way!

Nick recently finished our basement. It turned out better than we could have imagined. Communication EVERY DAY about the who, what, when and why throughout the entire process. Thorough from day one through the last day (and even after). Will follow up in about a month after to see how things are settling and fix anything needed. Incredibly helpful, kind and friendly. Attention to detail and quality in workmanship and the final product. Will be getting our repeat business when we’re ready to start the other projects in our home. Worth every penny and then some. Thanks again Nick!!!

Basement Remodeling Done Right
We don’t cut corners and we don’t guess. Every basement gets designed around your space, your ceiling height, and how you plan to use it.
- Recreation Rooms and Living Spaces
Framing, drywall, lighting, flooring, and trim built to feel like an actual room, not a converted storage area. We handle the full finish so it reads as intentional space, not an afterthought.
- Home Offices and Guest Suites
Proper egress windows, closet builds, and lighting layouts for rooms people will actually sleep and work in. We design around building code requirements from the start.
- Wet Bars and Entertainment Spaces
Plumbing rough-in, cabinetry, countertops, and electrical for basement bars built to last. We coordinate the trades so nothing gets done out of order.
- Waterproof Basement Solutions
If your basement has moisture and many Omaha basements do we address it before any finishing work begins. Interior drainage systems, sump pump installs, vapor barriers. The finish work always goes on top of a dry foundation.
- Egress Windows
Required for any bedroom use, and worth doing for natural light regardless. We cut openings, frame window wells, and bring the space up to code.
What Does a Basement Remodel Cost in Omaha?
Usually range from $40,000 to $60,000, which will include framing, drywall, LVP flooring or carpet, lighting, and a main living space. This is ideal for a simple lounge or a rec room conversion.
More complete or customized basement projects often fall between $80,000 and $120,000+, including finished bathrooms, wet bars, built-in storage, egress windows, or more complex floor plans.
Cost depends on factors like:
- Square footage and how much of the basement is being finished
- Whether plumbing or rough-ins are needed for a bathroom or bar
- Level of insulation and moisture-proofing required
- Electrical upgrades and number of new fixtures
- Material selections and any custom carpentry

Basement Remodeling Questions we get
How long does a basement remodel take?
Most basement finishes run 4 to 8 weeks once construction starts. The timeline depends on square footage, whether plumbing is involved, and how complex the layout is. If waterproofing work is needed first, that adds time upfront. We give you a build schedule before we start and stick to it.
How much does a basement remodel cost in Omaha?
Basic basement finishing projects we take on in Omaha fall between $40,000 to $60,000. More complete or customized basement projects often fall between $80,000 and $120,000+, including finished bathrooms, wet bars, built-in storage, egress windows, or more complex floor plans.
Do I need to waterproof my basement before finishing it?
It depends on the condition of the space. We assess moisture levels before we do anything else. If there’s active water intrusion or high moisture, we address it first interior drainage, sump pump, vapor barrier, whatever the situation calls for. Finishing over a wet basement is the most common way a remodel turns into a second remodel two years later.
Do I need a permit for a basement finish?
Yes, in most cases. Framing, electrical, plumbing, and egress window cuts all require permits in Omaha. We pull them, schedule inspections, and make sure everything is done to code. You don’t have to manage that process.
What's included in your basement design process?
Before construction starts, we develop a full layout with 2D floor plans and a 3D rendering of your finished basement. We work through room placement, lighting layout, egress locations, and finish selections together everything is decided before demo begins. That’s what keeps the project on budget and on schedule.
Do you handle the full basement finish or just part of it?
We manage the entire project framing, drywall, flooring, electrical, plumbing, egress, tile, trim, and final finishes. One point of contact from start to finish. You’re not coordinating between three different trades on your own.
