As firefighters, we spend our careers running towards problems, solving them under pressure, and ensuring the safety of our community. We saw a need for a contracting company in Columbus that operated with that same ethos—a company built on unwavering integrity, clear communication, and a commitment to doing the job right, every time. We started Carlisle and Ruffing Construction to be that difference, and have since opened a new division - Columbus Basement Company. We take pride in transforming dark, unused basements into safe, beautiful, and valuable extensions of your home.

We aren't just a company that works in Central Ohio; we are a part of it. Our commitment to you is the same as our commitment to our neighbors: to serve with honesty, work with purpose, and deliver results you can depend on.

We manage a curated team of skilled plumbers, electricians, and craftsmen, ensuring a seamless process and a high-quality finish from start to finish.

We live and work here. We understand the homes, the codes, and the specific challenges of basements in communities like Powell, Delaware, Dublin and other parts Central Ohio.
