A Private, Comfortable Suite Downstairs for Guests and Family
A basement bedroom or guest suite gives your family room to grow, whether you are hosting visitors, housing a college student, or making space for an aging parent. At Gerrish Remodeling & Design, owner Rick Gerrish and our crew convert basements in Saco, Maine into sleeping spaces that are comfortable and built to code.

We can add a closet, a private entry, and a full or half bathroom so guests have real privacy. The finishes, lighting, and flooring are chosen to feel warm through a long Maine winter. Every project starts with a free, no obligation estimate.

Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Considering a bedroom or guest suite in your Saco or Southern Maine basement? Here are answers to common questions.
Does a basement bedroom need an egress window?
Bedrooms need a safe way out in an emergency, which is typically provided by an egress window or door. We plan this during design and build it to meet code requirements.
Will the bedroom be warm and dry in winter?
Yes. We address moisture first, then add insulation, air sealing, and appropriate flooring so the room stays comfortable through Maine winters.
Can you add a bathroom to the guest suite?
In many basements we can. We review plumbing options during your estimate and let you know what is possible for your layout.
Can the suite work as an in law space?
Absolutely. We can design a bedroom, sitting area, and bathroom with comfortable access so the space works well for extended family stays.
