Hoover Housing Solutions finishes basements for homeowners in New Boston, Ohio. Framing, egress windows, drywall, flooring, wiring, and a bathroom if you want one. One crew, one permit, one number to call: (740) 357-9020.
New Boston is close to the river and full of older homes with stone and block basements. Those spaces can be finished into good living area, but the moisture has to be handled first and the small existing windows almost always have to be enlarged to meet egress.
What Basement Finishing Costs in New Boston
Finished basements in this area run roughly $25 to $65 per square foot. A straightforward finish with framing, insulation, drywall, trim, and flooring sits near the low end. Add a full bathroom, a wet bar, or heavy electrical and you move toward the top. On a 1,000 square foot basement that is about $25,000 to $65,000.
Two line items catch people off guard. A code-compliant egress window usually adds $4,500 to $9,000 if the basement does not already have one, and it is required for any bedroom. Waterproofing or drainage work, if the walls take on moisture, has to happen before framing. We price both up front instead of finding them halfway through.

Why New Boston Homeowners Call Us
We are local. We have been building in Scioto County since 2023, we run 12 employees, and we do not subcontract the whole job out to strangers. You get a written scope, a real number, and a crew that shows up. Basement finishing is part of our general contracting work, so if the project grows into a bathroom or a whole-home renovation, the same people handle it.
Water comes first. Every basement we finish gets checked for moisture, grade, and gutter drainage before a stud goes up. Framing over a wall that weeps is the most expensive mistake in this trade.
Most basements here run $25 to $65 per square foot, so roughly $25,000 to $65,000 for 1,000 square feet. An egress window, if needed, adds $4,500 to $9,000.
Yes. Framing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work all require a permit and inspection. We pull it and handle the inspections.
Yes. The Residential Code of Ohio requires an emergency escape opening in every basement sleeping room. Without one the room is not a legal bedroom.
Most projects run four to eight weeks depending on square footage, bathroom plumbing, and whether an egress window is being cut.
Yes, but we fix the water first. Grading, gutters, and drainage get corrected before framing starts.
