We'll help you consider how you want to use the space before determining the construction work required..

Basement Water-Tightening

Moisture is one of the most important issues to address before finishing a basement. Water intrusion can damage finished materials and create problems that become more difficult to address once walls, flooring, and other finishes are installed.


Nailhead Contracting can incorporate basement water-tightening solutions into the project, including Level Basement Solutions where appropriate.


Addressing moisture concerns as part of your basement project can help protect the finished space and provide a better foundation for the renovation.

Basement Remodeling and Finishing Under One Roof

Basement projects can involve many different construction tasks, from preparing walls and floors to installing drywall and creating finished living areas. Nailhead Contracting offers multiple contracting services that can be incorporated into the same project.


If your basement needs both moisture improvements and interior finishing, we can evaluate the space and discuss the appropriate approach for your project.
