From empty basement corner to custom sauna

Steve had an unused corner of his basement. We designed it, supplied it, and guided his builder. The full story is in the guide.

I would give this company 10 stars if I could! Nick and his team were excellent to work with, very prompt and honest people. They gave us exactly what we envisioned and we couldn't be happier with the result. Outstanding craftsmanship!Steve · Google Review

Why I wrote this guide

I'm Nick, founder of East Coast Saunas. When a client first asked me to build them a custom sauna, I found almost nothing useful online, just forums saying most saunas in America are built wrong. So I ordered sauna books from Finland and learned everything I could.

For our first 30 custom saunas, I was on site for every build from start to finish. The biggest lesson: the builder was never the problem. They just need the right plans and guidance.

This guide is everything I wish homeowners knew before they start. It takes about 5 minutes to read, and it could save you from an expensive mistake hidden behind your walls.
