When you want more space in your home, you may be restricted by the lack of yard space or local building regulations. In some areas, older homes were not built with basements. Homeowners who needed more space had to find contractors who could add basements without disturbing the original structure.

Whether you had a basement added, or it was constructed with the house, at some point you may need to make changes. Maybe you will need more living space, or you may want to make it more suitable for storing a variety of items. Our basement retrofit systems begin at only $6,995 and for a limited time you get a free 50” television with purchase. Talk about a great way to kick off your entertainment room!

Starting a Basement Remodel

First you must identify a specific need for doing work on the basement. This will guide future decisions such as the amount and type of material you buy. To some extent it will also determine how long the project will take. It’s sometimes hard to see the potential in a basement at first. It might be the one room in the house you hardly visit, stocked with boxes of old items you haven’t gotten around to throwing away. Once you clear the basement and know how much space you have, you can start planning your project. Specific areas you will have to pay attention to include:

  • The flooring – you have different options available to you, but your major concerns will be your subflooring and preventing moisture buildup. Tyroc subflooring is ideal for basements as it is highly moisture resistant. It also works well with flooring options such as carpeting, hardwood, laminate, sheet linoleum and ceramic tile.
  • The walls – some basement walls suffer from poor masonry, or develop problems due to inadequate drainage. On the other hand, you may simply want a more attractive wall for your new room. An inspection of the walls may be necessary before the work starts. Matrix wall panels are the perfect solution for basement walls.
  • The wiring – retrofitting a basement will most likely call for new electrical installations. This must only be carried out by a qualified and certified electrician.
