Great Mills grew up along the Great Mills Road corridor, between Lexington Park and Leonardtown, and county planners pointed to the age of many of its buildings in a 2015 planning draft for the area. Davis Construction & Home Improvement has finished basements throughout Great Mills, and in an older house the first job is making sure the space is dry.

Dry first, then finish

Drywall, carpet, and wood framing don't forgive water. Before we price a basement, we look for the signs: stains or white mineral deposits on the walls, damp spots on the slab, a musty smell, and water marks near the bottom of the stairs or around the sump if there is one. We also look at the outside — gutters and downspouts that dump next to the foundation, or ground that slopes toward the house.

If there's a moisture problem, it gets solved before the finish goes in, not covered up by it. Then we choose materials that belong below grade, like moisture-resistant flooring, and insulate the walls so the new rooms stay comfortable.

Permits

Finishing a basement in St. Mary's County goes through the Department of Land Use & Growth Management, which lists a renovation permit type on its residential application and tracks permits in eTRAKiT. Building inspections are done by MDIA. We file it and schedule the inspections.
