Finish a Basement in St. Louis Park, MN - Need a Contractor

[Josh Cook]

Hi All,

I'm looking for a reputable contractor to finish off the basement for my duplex.  The basement is 850 ft^2, I want to add a bedroom with an egress window, finish the other off as a family room, and possibly add a bathroom depending on if I will have room for it in my budget. I also have to replace the existing gravity furnace and have the ductwork removed so that I can have space to finish off the basement. 

Can anyone recommend a solid contractor in the Twin Cities Metro Area who I can get an estimate from? 

I will be closing on my duplex on the 14th of December (next Thursday) and would like to be proactive about this so I can move into the duplex sooner than later. 

Thanks,

Josh

Interesting, not a lot of duplexes for sale in that area.  A couple of the city inspectors can be a PITA  but a few of them are nice.  Make sure whomever you use is going to pull all the permits.  Unless things have changed SLP does their own plumbing, electrical, and building inspections which can save some hassles.

I don't have any contractors I can pass you as we were building on sweat equity back then. If you get no help the city likely lists contractors but you could ask the building department if they will recommend anyone.  Most wont but one thing is for sure, they wouldn't recommend someone they don't like.
