About Kjelstad Basements
Kjelstad Basements was built around a simple idea: the work below ground deserves the same attention as the rooms above it.

Since 2014
Ingrid Kjelstad spent nine years running remodeling jobs for other builders before starting Kjelstad Basements. The team focuses on the parts of a basement project that carry the most consequence: moisture, permits, egress, mechanical access, and the sequence behind the finished walls.
Every basement gets a permit. We meet the inspector at every inspection. At the end, you get the signed-off permit with your drawings and paint colors.
