Project Story
The Challenge
Walk-out basement with separate entrance potential — currently unfinished. Homeowners wanted a legal accessory dwelling unit for rental income. Required county approval and specific egress, kitchen, and bathroom requirements.
Our Approach
Secured county accessory dwelling permit. Installed separate entrance with code-compliant egress window wells. Full kitchen rough-in with 2-burner cooktop, fridge, sink. Full bathroom. LVP flooring, insulation, drywall, separate utility metering rough-in, soundproofing.
The Outcome
Rented within 3 weeks of completion at $2,100/month. Passed county inspection. The project will pay for itself in under 3 years at current rental rates.

“This project will pay for itself in under 3 years. Victor handled the county permit, all the inspections, all the trades. We didn't have to coordinate a single thing.”
The rental income covers our mortgage increase from the renovation cost. Victor designed the layout so the tenant has complete privacy — they never interact with us at all. Smart design made that possible.
