Finish Basement Remodeling

The condition of the basement in any house creates a comfortable microclimate in the living space. For some owners, the basement is convenient storage for seasonal items and tools. Still, others equip a studio where you can do whatever they love or organize a rest zone.

New England has a harsh climate: there are often frosts in winter and a lot of snow. All it leads to flooding of the lower rooms, cracks, and impaired thermal insulation. Therefore, it is crucial to check the thermal and waterproofing of the basement. Our rebuilders check the approval code of repair work in the local municipality. They clarify the quality of the soil and the depth of the groundwater.

Replacing the waterproofing layer is the main task when renovating a basement. Signs of the bad hermeticity of the room are drops on the walls and puddles. Experts conduct a thorough survey of the building to determine the features of the existing system.

Waterproofing usually includes the following stages:

• The first step is to dry the basement room thoroughly.
• To check the moisture level, workers install vapor barriers on the walls and floor.
• Wall masonry made of concrete is carefully plastered and trowelled to a smooth surface.

For high-quality waterproofing, our specialists use roll and batt insulation, rigid or semi-rigid insulation for external work, or spray foam in hard-to-reach areas.

Some house owners get a place in which the basement has cracks in the walls. It is dangerous not only by the penetration of moisture and mold but also by poor thermal insulation and the threat of destruction of the house. Usually, the walls are made of blocks, masonry, and concrete. Top home builders of our company use special fasteners to strengthen such materials in the basement insulation and eliminate all damage.

Basement thermal insulation is an obligatory step in renovation. It allows our customers to reduce heating and energy costs. Alignment of walls and insulation is carried out using thin slats of wood or metal called furring strips. They solve the problem with moisture, noise, and thermal insulation.

Before starting work, our experienced foreman always carries out a preliminary assessment and makes an estimate list. So, the owners are always aware of upcoming renovations. We agree on prices before the start of the renovation, not after.

The final stage of basement renovation is the leveling of the floor and ceiling. Our specialists paint ceilings, fill cracks, and texture surfaces to remove imperfections and unevenness. Our home builders could install recessed lighting to save some space.

Also, HVAC units and water heaters are often placed in the basement. Therefore, our builders leave the place and design all the required fittings at once in the context of the project. Contact our managers to place the renovation order to improve or redesign your foundation at an affordable price!
