Client Success Story: From Unused Basement to Stunning In-Law Suite

“We hired Ridgestone Homes to turn our unfinished basement into a fully functional in-law suite for my parents, and we couldn’t be happier with the result! The team was incredibly professional, helping us design a space that not only met building code requirements but also catered to my parents’ accessibility needs. They installed a spacious bedroom, a beautiful bathroom with a walk-in shower, and a cozy living area with a electric fireplace. The project stayed on schedule, and the team was always available to answer our questions. We now have a comfortable, welcoming space for my parents, and it adds so much value to our home. We highly recommend Ridgestone Homes for any basement renovation!”
