Do you handle unfinished basements?
Our team is skilled at both finishing and remodeling basements! Unsure which is which? Finishing a basement refers to completing a basement with no drywall, finished flooring, lighting, etc. Remodeling refers to layout changes, all-new finishes, and custom features.
What are some basement-specific design considerations?
- Moisture Control is essential for basement projects, so make sure your home is properly waterproofed when considering this type of project.
- Lighting Design is another thing to consider in your basement – it is often the difference between a dingy basement feel and a comfortable, warm space to enjoy.
- Insulation and Soundproofing – Proper insulation improves energy efficiency. If you work from home or need to create a quiet environment, consider adding acoustic panels, sound-reducing insulation, or specialized drywall to reduce noise.
- Use Moisture-Resistant Materials: luxury vinyl plank, tile, or sealed concrete.
Will remodeling fix the moisture problem in my basement?
While a remodel can significantly reduce or eliminate moisture, it’s important to address underlying issues first. Simply covering up problems with finishes can lead to more significant issues down the line. Our team is well-versed in finding and resolving the root problem, so you don’t have to worry about moisture in the future.
Do you handle permits and inspections for basement remodeling?
Yes, we handle all permitting and inspections with the proper municipality and code officials.
Can I make a basement out of my crawlspace?
In some cases, you can convert a crawlspace into a basement by removing the soil underneath to add height and doing structural work to reinforce the home’s foundation. In most cases, adding a basement under a pre-built home is cost-prohibitive. During our first in-home meeting, your Project Planner can assess whether your home is suitable for adding a basement.
