Your basement should be the most comfortable floor in your house. At Getty Home Made, we specialize in high-quality basement finishing that bridges the gap between raw utility and intentional living spaces.
As a local, veteran-owned construction business, owners Jon Powell and Lenny Getty understand that a Kennebunk basement requires more than just drywall. It requires a deep understanding of the Maine coastal environment and the disciplined execution of a master builder.
We believe that a finished basement should never look like an afterthought. Many contractors provide “builder grade” finishes that feel sterile or disconnected from the rest of the home. At Getty Home Made, we take a different approach.
In Kennebunk, standard basement remodeling is not enough. Proximity to the Atlantic means dealing with a high water table and unique soil pressure.
From the historic Summer Street District to the coastal terrain near Gooch’s Beach, building in Kennebunk requires a partner who understands the local landscape. We perform site-specific evaluations to ensure your project includes the correct drainage for our regional soil and ledge conditions. Our team respects local traffic patterns and works closely with the Town of Kennebunk offices to ensure every project is quiet, professional, and fully compliant with neighborhood standards.
A deep-dive audit to ensure the space is 100% dry before construction begins.
We draft bespoke plans and submit all paperwork to the Kennebunk Code Enforcement Office.
Our veteran-led crews handle the framing and specialized coastal insulation with military precision.
We apply high-quality finishes and perform a final walk-through to ensure the space fits your lifestyle perfectly.
While we lead with basements, our mission is to handle all your high-end construction needs across York County. We provide the same intentional design and quality of work for:
Guest suites and detached units built to local Kennebunk zoning standards.
Yes. The Town of Kennebunk requires a building permit for any finished space to ensure fire safety, proper insulation, and egress compliance. We handle the entire application and inspection process for you.
Coastal Kennebunk requires specialized moisture management. We utilize a combination of internal perimeter drains, hydrostatic pressure relief, and high-capacity sump pumps with battery backups to protect your investment from groundwater.
It means we avoid generic, sterile finishes. We focus on intentional design, using custom-milled trim, high-end lighting layouts, and materials that make your lower level feel like a natural, seamless extension of your main floor.
Yes. Under the Maine Uniform Building and Energy Code (MUBEC), any habitable basement space must have a code-compliant secondary means of escape. We specialize in installing these systems while maintaining your home’s exterior curb appeal.
Our veteran-led crews operate with military discipline and strict daily schedules. While every custom project is unique, most of our high-quality transformations are completed within 6 to 10 weeks once construction begins.
Your home is likely your largest investment. Don’t settle for a basement that feels like a basement. Let Jon and Lenny show you how an intentional design and a veteran-led construction process can transform your lower level into the most utilized space in your home.
