Basement Conversions

At Portland ADU, we specialize in turning your dusty, dark, damp, head-obstacle-filled, uneven basement space into warm and luminous ADU or additional living space. Whether you're looking to turn your basement into a space with a media room & extra guest suite or create a full rental unit with its own exterior entrance, our team is here to help with solutions tailored to your needs.

Our Services Include:

Helping you decide if its an ADU Vs. Additional Living Space

There are two paths to having additional living space that you can use for yourself, for in-laws or as a long or short-term rental: ADU (separate address, separate entrance, higher setup cost) Vs. Additional Living Space (same address, same or separate entrance, lower setup costs) and the answer to which path is best for your goals, timeline and budget is based on a number of on-site determinations of existing conditions, opportunities and challenges which our long experience and code expertise makes us uniquely qualified to advise on.

Stairway & Exterior Entry Solutions

We provide basement stairway design and installations which resolve previous headspace obstacles or maximize the daylight basement feeling of your new living space. Whether it’s building safe, stylish interior stairs or an exterior entry that complements your home’s architecture, our team ensures that your stairways are code-compliant, a solid joy to use and aesthetically pleasing.

Egress Windows & Emergency Exits

In need of an egress window to meet bedroom requirements or expand the luminosity of your basement? We specialize in the installation of egress windows, making your home compliant with building codes and providing an escape route in case of emergencies. Our team also ensures that these features add light and warmth to your space while meeting safety standards.

Our Services Include:

Headspace Solutions & Ceiling Height Adjustments

Basements often have low ceilings, but we offer solutions to maximize your headspace and give your basement a more open, airy feel. Whether it’s lowering the floor, raising the ceiling, or strategically planning the layout to make the most of the available space, we help you overcome headspace conflicts and create a more comfortable and spacious basement.

HVAC Ducting & Ventilation Solutions

Is your basement too hot, too cold, or lacking proper ventilation? We handle HVAC ducting issues and provide customized solutions to ensure your basement is always at the right temperature. Our team will design a system that balances airflow, maintains comfort, and supports efficient heating and cooling in your new living space.

Waterproofing & Moisture Control

A dry basement is essential for creating a comfortable, long-lasting living space. We provide advanced waterproofing services, including sump pump installation, French drains, and moisture barriers. With our solutions, you can protect your basement from leaks and flooding, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment.

Basement Insulation

Insulate your basement for optimal energy efficiency. Whether it’s spray foam, fiberglass, or foam board insulation, we help keep your basement cozy in winter and cool in summer. Proper insulation reduces energy costs, prevents moisture buildup, and creates a more comfortable living space for you and your family.
