Our 4-Step Process

Schedule a FREE Estimate

We start by meeting with you in your home for a no-cost, no-obligation consultation. This is our chance to listen to your goals, explore your vision, and assess your space. We’ll share ideas, answer your questions, and make sure we fully understand your needs before moving forward.

Receive Your On-Site Quote

At the end of your consultation, you’ll receive a detailed, written estimate—right on the spot. No waiting for days or chasing follow-up emails. We believe in transparency, so our quotes are accurate, clear, and tailored to your specific project scope.

Renovation with Care & Consistency

John personally oversees the start and finish of every basement project, while our trusted, long-term subcontractors handle the stages in between. Because we work with the same team on every project, you can expect consistent quality, smooth communication, and a worry-free experience. Most projects are completed in about six weeks, with minimal disruption to your home.

Final Walkthrough & Satisfaction Review

Once your basement is complete, we’ll walk through the space with you to review every detail. This is your opportunity to ensure everything meets your expectations and our high standards. We don’t consider the job done until you’re completely satisfied.

Family-Owned. Passion-Driven. Basement Experts.

Story & History

Basements by Bek is a family-owned business founded by John and Letyce Moore. The name BEK is inspired by the initials of our three children, a reminder that every project we take on is rooted in family values, trust, and quality craftsmanship.

Although Basements by Bek officially launched in 2021, our experience in the remodeling industry dates back to 2009. We began as a small painting company, gradually expanding into full-scale renovations. The moment we completed our first basement project, we knew we had found our passion, turning unused spaces into beautiful, functional areas families can enjoy for years to come.

For us, every project is more than just a renovation, it’s about creating a space where your family can make memories, relax, and enjoy life together.
