Family-Owned General Contractor
Turn an unfinished basement into a family room, guest suite, home theater, or ADU, finished properly, permitted correctly, and built to stay dry.
A finished basement is the most cost-effective way to add real, usable living space to your home. Property owners across Coeur d'Alene, Hayden, Post Falls, and Dalton Gardens trust Chuck and Norm Kile to finish or remodel their basement into a brand new living area they actually enjoy.
Basements stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter, which makes them ideal for family rooms, guest suites, home theaters, home gyms, offices, or income-producing ADUs. No project is too big or too small, we'll help you make the space exactly what your family needs.

Chuck and Norm Kile have been finishing and remodeling basements across the Coeur d'Alene region for more than 30 years. We've turned rough, unfinished basements into family rooms, guest suites, home theaters, and full ADUs, and we know how to handle the things that trip up less-experienced builders: low ceilings, support posts, mechanical rooms, and moisture.
We also know the ins and outs of the Idaho and Washington permitting processes, including egress window requirements and below-grade plumbing code. These are the details that separate a properly finished basement from one that causes problems a few years down the road.
Kile Construction is a full-service residential general contractor. From finishing a single rec room to converting the whole lower level into a rental unit, it's like having your own personal builder ready to customize your home exactly to your liking.
