a closer look at your investment

Create your vision

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?

Design your Dream space

Based on your vision & the square footage of your unfinished space we can create designs & specifications for your dream space.

Choose a finishing level

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.

Basic Finish

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.

Mid-Tier Finish

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.

Luxury Finish

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.

finalize your budget

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.

 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!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jonny and his crew built us a beautiful custom shed in 2 days that is exactly what we wanted. The whole team was so easy to work with from the initial planning to the build days. The workers were polite, hardworking, and never once complained about our excited dog and/or kids. The shed looks beautiful and we are so happy. We’d recommend Jonny and his team any day…we’re already planning our next custom Lincoln Built project!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What can we say about our experience with Jonny and his team. Extremely pleased with the process from the planning meeting through the permit process, build and completion. Highly professional and courteous throughout the entire project. The attention to the details and completion of the shed, we are very pleased with the shed. Jonny also repaired the front section of an existing shed and finished it off to closing match the new shed. We couldn’t be happier with the final project! Thank you Jonny and team! Gary and Deb

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Johhny and his crew from Lincoln built did an incredible two story deck repair for me this week. Look no further if you want excellent work done and a contractor who is highly responsive and keeps you updated. His prices are very reasonable and his custom work is spectacular. If I ever need a deck built in the future, Lincoln built will be the first one I call.
