Basement Renovations

Basement renovations and remodeling can help you maximize the space in your home. Basement finishing allows you to create storage space and recreational areas in your home.

Basements are often used to stow away old equipment or "junk". Often the thinking here is "I'll just put it here in the basement and get it when I need it". Months, years, decades pass and the basement piles up with more and more "stuff".

Don't waste valuable space in your home. Basement finishing can increase the value of your home and redefine your living space. If you are planning to finish, renovate or remodel your basement then there are a few considerations to make.

Not all basements are "finishable". Some basements, especially in older homes, may not be properly insulated or may have significant moisture. If your basement has moisture then special treatment must be applied before your basement renovation project can begin properly.

Our professional basement finishers will apply various treatments that will seal out moisture from your basement. For basements with slight flooding caulking and other treatments may help. For basements with more serious water issues elevated flooring may be necessary.

Depending on the way they are built basements can be ideal as playrooms, home theaters or music studios. Basements seal in sound and tend to have exceptional acoustics.

Basement finishing includes the creation of walls and insulation. This helps to improve the look of the basement as well as providing a surface to hang paintings and other objects. In addition to walls shelving can be built right into basement spaces.

Our basement renovation specialists are qualified electronic systems contractors and can install basement electrical systems and receipticals. Electrical systems must comply with local codes.

You basement may provide a space with exceptional built in heating and cooling mechanisms. Basements tend to be cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Spending time in your newly renovated basement may prove to be pretty efficient and entertaining.

Basement lighting is important if there is little or no access to sunlight. For basements with low ceiling the best alternative would be to use lamps and other types of lighting. If you basement ceiling is reasonable in height then our basement renovation specialist may be able to build a basement drop ceiling complete with lighting fixtures such as track lighting, flourescent lighting, etc.
