Basement Remodeling Ideas – Along with Some Before and After Photos

Finishing a basement is an ideal way to add extra living space to your home. You don’t need to build out or build up to create more usable square footage. You can work with your existing footprint and remodel a dark, cluttered basement – which is probably only being used for storage or as a makeshift laundry room – and turn it into a finished room or rooms for a variety of uses. Or, maybe, you already have a finished basement, but it is dated and needs some freshening up or reconfiguration to work better for your needs. Whichever type basement you have, there is always room for improvement through a remodel.

Many homeowners look at their basements and see a daunting renovation task. We see a basement as a blank slate. The potential for new living space is amazing. Walls can be built to create multiple rooms and storage areas, or can be moved to enable the space to better fit your wish list.

The lowest level of your home can provide ample space for:

• Playroom
• Office
• Media Room
• Gym
• Bedroom
• Bathroom
• Laundry Room
• Bar

• Wine Cellar
• Lounge
• Man Cave
• Guest Suites
• Apartment
• And More!

We have remodeled many basements in homes of all sizes and styles. Whether you have a small or expansive home, you will appreciate the extra living space a finished basement affords your family.
