Your basement is one of the largest untapped spaces in your home. Cascade Pro, Inc transforms unfinished and outdated basements throughout Puyallup and Pierce County into beautiful, functional living areas — from family rooms and home offices to fully permitted ADU apartments.
We handle every phase of the project: waterproofing, structural work, framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, finishes, and final inspection.
Every basement project is different. Here are the most common types of basement remodels we do:
Transforming a completely unfinished basement into a livable space with framing, insulation, drywall, flooring, lighting, and climate control. This is the most common project — turning wasted space into a family room, recreation area, or extra bedrooms.
Converting your basement into a fully permitted accessory dwelling unit with its own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living area, and separate entrance. This is a high-value project for homeowners looking to generate rental income or house family members independently.
Renovating a previously finished basement that’s outdated, water-damaged, or poorly done. We gut the old work and rebuild with modern materials, proper moisture control, and updated mechanical systems.
Finishing a portion of your basement while leaving the rest for storage, mechanical equipment, or future work. This lets you add living space on a smaller budget while keeping flexibility.
Every basement remodeling project follows a structured process to keep timelines tight and surprises to a minimum:
Basement remodeling is one of the highest-ROI home improvements you can make — it adds livable square footage without expanding your home’s footprint. Puyallup has experienced steady growth and is one of Pierce County’s most popular family communities. The city’s mix of historic homes and newer developments creates diverse opportunities for home improvement projects.
Basement remodeling costs in Puyallup depend heavily on the current condition of the space, the scope of work, and the finishes you choose. A basic finishing project costs less than a full ADU conversion with plumbing and a kitchen.
Key factors that influence your project budget:
We provide detailed estimates after our basement evaluation so you understand the full scope and cost before any work begins. No surprises.
Yes. Finishing a basement into livable space requires building permits for framing, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work. If you’re creating a separate dwelling unit (ADU), additional requirements apply. We handle the full permitting process.
Moisture is the most common concern with Pacific Northwest basements. We assess your basement’s current moisture levels and drainage conditions before starting any work. Depending on what we find, we may recommend interior drainage systems, vapor barriers, waterproof coatings, or exterior drainage improvements before finishing the space.
Most basement remodels take 2 to 5 months depending on scope. A basic finishing project is on the shorter end; a full ADU conversion with plumbing, kitchen, egress windows, and separate entrance takes longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during our initial assessment.
Building code typically requires a minimum finished ceiling height of around 7 feet for habitable rooms. We’ll measure your basement during our evaluation. If ceiling height is tight, there are sometimes options like lowering the floor (underpinning) or adjusting mechanical routing to gain the clearance needed.
In many cases, yes. Basement ADUs are increasingly permitted in the Puget Sound region. The unit needs to meet specific requirements for egress, ceiling height, ventilation, separate entrance, kitchen, and bathroom. We’ll tell you exactly what’s required for your property during our consultation.
Yes. Moisture control is a critical first step in any basement project. We evaluate and address moisture issues before any finishing work begins to protect your investment for the long term.
Stop wasting the biggest unused room in your house. Cascade Pro, Inc transforms basements throughout Puyallup into finished living spaces, rental apartments, and everything in between. We handle the entire process from evaluation to final inspection.

Puyallup's rapid growth over the past decade has transformed it from a quiet agricultural town into one of Pierce County's most sought-after communities. From the established neighborhoods around Pioneer Park and downtown to the sprawling developments across South Hill, homeowners here are investing in their properties like never before.
The city's mix of housing stock — ranging from early 1900s bungalows near the Puyallup Fairgrounds to newer construction in Shaw Road and Canyon Falls subdivisions — means every project requires a tailored approach. We understand Puyallup's municipal code and work directly with the city's Development Services to secure permits efficiently, whether you're converting a garage on South Hill or adding a room in the Van Lierop Park area.
Puyallup homeowners also benefit from the Valley's relatively flat terrain and generous lot sizes, which are ideal for detached ADUs and room additions. Our crew has worked extensively in neighborhoods like Sunrise Village, Firgrove, and Woodland Park Estates, giving us a strong understanding of the local building requirements, HOA considerations, and utility connections specific to each area.
