As the temperatures drop, it’s the perfect season to bring warmth to a new space in your home, create more space, and finish your basement so that you can enjoy your living space in style. Whether you want a basic finish or a luxury finish, Lincoln Built is here for you.
By completing your project during winter, your spring and summer are free to enjoy your outdoor spaces without construction interruptions.
Winter tends to be less hectic for construction schedules, ensuring your project starts and finishes without unnecessary delays.
Imagine having a cozy retreat downstairs—whether it’s a family room, home office, or playroom—just in time for cold-weather gatherings.
A finished basement adds usable square footage and can boost your property value significantly.
Turn your basement into a functional space like a guest suite, home gym, or entertainment hub.
Proper insulation and finishing reduce drafts and lower heating costs.
Customize your basement to fit your lifestyle with options like wet bars, theater rooms, or additional bedrooms.
Start with the vision for your space. Do you want a gym space, a kitchenette, an extra guest suite, a playroom, or an entertainment room? What would be the best use of the space for your needs?
Based on your vision & the square footage of your unfinished space we can create designs & specifications for your dream space.
You’ll choose a finishing level that fits the overall style and function of your home ranging from basic finishes like flooring and walls to detailed upgrades such as lighting, plumbing, and custom design features.
A basic finish could include warm carpeted flooring, newly painted walls, a closed-in mechanical room, recessed lighting, and an open space to furnish as a playroom, gym, or family room. Make your space mult-functional by keeping it simple.
A mid-tier finish could include carpeted or luxury vinyl plank flooring, walls/separate rooms, a bathroom, a kitchenette, a wet bar area, recessed lighting, and custom cabinetry in a kitchen area. Your basement can become a second home for guests or a great entertainment space to enjoy with others.
A luxury finish could include all the above with high luxury finishings, multiple add-ons, and additional custom builds like a wine cellar, home theater center, or something else you dream of. Whatever you need your space to be we can create to complete that dream home.
Once you’ve created your designs and chosen a finish, pick out your add ons, you can work with a contractor to finalize your budget and start your project.
Create a new space in your home to create memories, entertain and host guests, & add value to your home.

Women who Wander14. August, 2025.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jonny Gelnett with Lincoln Built and crew built our summer happy place. We had a 2 level long Trex material deck built with a Pergola w/shade options. We are so very super thrilled with the deck. We sat down with him this February 2025 and drew out plans with some specific needs, We wanted flat drink railings. I valued his input on my planned outline. They started in the bitter cold of early March. He provided a timeline and was punctual and super communicative. Typically those words don't come to mind when you work with a construction company/contractor. It was a great addition to our home, solid construction, no doubt adds tremendous value and appeal to our home. Our home is backed up to woods, and the hummingbirds and Eastern Bluebirds fly in and hang out each day. Mission Accomplished we have a wonderful outdoor space. Thank you Lincoln Built Team!

Johhny and his crew from Lincoln built did an incredible two story deck repair for me this week.
