Basement Finishing in Fargo-Moorhead
Turn your unfinished basement into a living space your family will actually use. We handle everything from framing and electrical to flooring and final trim.
More Space. More Value. Done Right.
An unfinished basement is untapped potential. Whether you want a family room, home office, extra bedroom, or a dedicated recreation space, Allied Build & Remodel will finish it properly from top to bottom.
We manage the entire project in-house: framing, insulation, electrical, drywall, flooring, and trim. You work with one team from start to finish, and we don’t consider the job done until you’re completely satisfied with the result.
Demo & Site Prep
We handle full demolition of existing walls, flooring, or structures before any new work begins. That includes breaking out concrete for plumbing rough-in, masonry work, and making sure the space is clean and ready to build.
Framing & Insulation
We frame your basement walls to code, including interior partition walls for bedrooms, bathrooms, or utility rooms. Proper insulation is installed for comfort and energy efficiency year-round.
Plumbing, Electrical & HVAC
All rough-in trades handled in-house or with our licensed subs. New circuits, outlets, recessed lighting, plumbing for bathrooms or wet bars, and HVAC extensions or new drops to keep the space comfortable. Everything permitted and inspected.
Egress Windows & Bedrooms
A legal basement bedroom requires a code-compliant egress window. We handle the full installation including the concrete cut, window well, and framing, meeting ND and MN requirements.
Drywall, Paint & Flooring
Smooth finished sheetrock throughout, painted in your chosen colors. Flooring in LVP, carpet, tile, or hardwood. We handle it all so everything finishes cleanly and consistently.
Tile, Cabinets & Finish Work
Tile showers, bathroom surrounds, cabinet installation, countertops, interior doors, and all millwork and trim. The details that make a finished basement feel like the rest of your home, not an afterthought.

Have questions about finishing your basement? We’ve answered the most common ones. Don’t see yours? Give us a call.
How long does it take to finish a basement?
Most basement finishing projects take 8 to 12 weeks depending on the size and scope. A simpler open layout with basic finishes can move faster, while a basement with multiple rooms, a bathroom, or custom features will take longer. Whatever your project calls for, we take the time to finish it properly, because you’ll be living with the results for years. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your free estimate.
Do I need a permit to finish my basement?
Yes, in most cases a permit is required for basement finishing work, especially when it involves framing, electrical, or egress windows. We handle the permitting process for you and make sure all work is done to local code in both North Dakota and Minnesota.
Can you add a bathroom to my basement?
Yes. Adding a bathroom is one of the most common requests in basement finishing projects and one of the best ways to add value to your home. We’ll assess your existing plumbing situation and work through the best approach for your space and budget.
What can I use my finished basement for?
The options are wide open. Popular uses include family and recreation rooms, home offices, guest bedrooms, home gyms, playrooms, and home theaters. We’ll help you lay out the space to get the most out of your square footage based on how you actually plan to use it.
