Basement Remodeling & Renovation Company Serving Washington, DC
How We Can Help with Your Basement Renovation Project
Basement Walls
As part of our basement remodeling, Washington residents can turn to us to improve basement walls. For many, the basement is left largely unfinished, so we will help handle everything from insulating the walls to drywalling and painting. Many basements are cold so insulating correctly is key.
Basement Flooring
To transform any unfinished basement into a comfortable living space, the floors must be upgraded. In about 90% of our basement remodeling projects, we install luxury vinyl plank flooring (LVP). LVP is very durable and water resistance which is imporant in case there is any water penetration into the home. Carpenting can be installed as well, we just need to make sure that the basement is 100% waterproofed.
Basement Ceiling
Included in our basement renovation, Washington DC homes tend to need new ceilings- something that requires a keen attention to detail. For code purposes, your ceiling height needs to be at least 7’ to be habitable and 6’4” underneath support beams and bulkheads. For some homes, ceilings are left unfinished. This is where design experts step in, helping to design your ceilings for a more homey look.
Basement Windows
For basements with ample windows, we will help elevate the design while remaining within your budget, allowing your basement to get all the natural light it can. If there is a separate bedroom in the basement, you will need an egress window with specific dimensions to allow for exiting the basement through the window in case of a fire.
Basement Concept We Can Build
No matter the basement remodel, Washington DC residents can trust our team to bring their concept to life. Some basement concepts we can implement include:
- Home Office: A great use for your basement is as a home office. With more people taking advantage of flexible work schedules, having a basement set up for a home office will help boost your success.
- Guest Suite: Create an extra bedroom space for visitors in your basement with some essential improvements. From insulating the space to providing more privacy, the basement is a great place to host guests.
- Home Theater: For movie lovers, the basement can be a great place to create a home theater, allowing you to get the best seat for viewing.
- Fitness Center: Elevate your fitness routine with a home gym, equipped to host everything from weights to a treadmill.
- Game Room: Whether you want the kids to have a space for gaming aside from the common area, or want to play more of your own games, a gaming room is a great way to keep the controllers out of the main space.
