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 North Shore basement requires more than just drywall. It requires a deep understanding of the Northeast Massachusetts 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.
From Salem to Newburyport, standard basement remodeling is not enough. Proximity to the coast and high-density neighborhoods mean dealing with specific environmental and structural standards.
Whether you own a historic home in Newburyport that requires sensitive structural updates or a newer build in Ipswich or Gloucester, building on the North Shore 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 water table conditions. Our team respects local community standards and works closely with local building departments to ensure every project is quiet, professional, and fully compliant.
A deep-dive audit to ensure the space is 100% dry before construction begins.
We draft bespoke plans and submit all paperwork to the local Massachusetts Building Inspector.
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 the North Shore. We provide the same intentional design and quality of work for:
Guest suites and detached units built to the latest MA Affordable Homes Act standards.
Yes. Every project we undertake complies with the latest Massachusetts State Building Codes and the Affordable Homes Act standards. This ensures your new living space is safe, legal, and adds genuine value to your property.
For homes on septic systems, any added bathroom or living space must strictly follow Title V regulations. We specialize in high-quality plumbing tie-ins that protect your property’s certification and ensure long-term environmental safety.
It means we move past the generic, sterile finishes common in North Shore remodels. We focus on intentional design, using custom-milled trim and tailored lighting layouts that make your lower level feel like a natural extension of your home’s main floor.
Yes. Under Massachusetts law, any habitable basement space must have a code-compliant secondary means of escape. We specialize in installing these systems without compromising the exterior aesthetic of your home.
Our veteran-led crews operate with military discipline and strict daily schedules. While every custom project varies, most high-quality transformations on the North Shore 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.
