About Kjelstad Basements

Basements are all we do.

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

Contractor reviewing a basement layout drawing with homeowners

Since 2014

Focused enough to notice what other remodelers miss.

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.
