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 Salem 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.
In Salem, standard basement remodeling is not enough. Proximity to the coast and high-density historic neighborhoods mean dealing with specific environmental and structural standards.
From the historic properties in the McIntire District to the newer residential areas near Salem Willows, building in Salem 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 the Salem Building Department 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 Salem 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. Massachusetts law requires a building permit for any finished space to ensure fire safety, insulation, and egress compliance. We handle this entire process for you.
We utilize a combination of internal perimeter drains and high-capacity sump pumps with battery backups to protect your investment.
Absolutely. We specialize in high-quality plumbing tie-ins and custom designs tailored for lower-level environments, ensuring all Title V requirements are met.
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.
