Create the Basement of Your Dreams with Build BLVD
Basement Remodeling
One of the best ways to upgrade your home is to start a basement remodel. Due to the size and potential of an average basement, the opportunities are endless. A basement remodel can be done for just about any purpose: to expand your living space, boost your property value, and even better regulate the temperature in the rest of your home.
If you’re not sure where to start, some of the most common basement remodeling projects include waterproofing, the placement of insulation, flooring or drywall installation, and the addition of lighting or electrical work.
Our Basement Remodeling Services
We provide a full range of basement remodeling services to transform your space into one that is both practical and beautiful. Here’s what we offer:
Waterproofing
Being below ground level, basements are especially prone to moisture and leaks. This is thanks to rain, snow, groundwater, and plumbing woes. In turn, basements are susceptible to mold and mildew, humidity, and poor air quality. This can make the space feel uncomfortable, smelly, and even hazardous to one’s health and belongings.
To prevent the latter disasters, waterproofing a basement can be a great idea. Basement waterproofing can prevent water damage, which can keep your valuables and attic space safe from damage. It can also eliminate the growth of mold and mildew, prevent structural damage from water, and reduce dampness in your basement.
Flooring Installation
Basements are usually left with concrete flooring, which can be cold and uncomfortable. To amp up your space, the installation of flooring can be one of the first big steps. Besides adding detail and liveliness to the space, installing flooring in your basement can create warmth, a barrier against moisture, and make for ease of maintenance.
There are a variety of different flooring options to consider for basements. Some of the best ones include vinyl, tile, carpet, laminate, or bamboo flooring. To save on money, you can also consider polishing or staining the concrete your basement already has.
Insulation
In many cases, basements aren’t automatically insulated. This is especially true for older houses. Insulation can be a great addition with potential to create consistent temperature control, lower energy bills, control excess moisture, prevent mold, and reduce noise.
Insulating a basement is especially crucial if you have plans to turn it into a livable space. Regardless, an insulated basement can increase the value of your home and protect pipes from freezing or bursting during the winter.
​
Lighting & Electrical Work
Basements normally have extremely limited electrical work. This is because basements are often used for storage rather than everyday living. What is more, many basements have outdated electrical, which can be hazardous.
When doing a basement remodel, we recommend adding or upgrading the electrical components to your space. Consider adding extra outlets, more lighting, a smoke detector, and a carbon monoxide detector. This can enhance the practicality and safety of your basement.
​
Drywall
When in their unfinished form, basements normally aren’t dolled up with drywall. This can make basements seem dull, cold, and incomplete. However, drywall isn’t just for looks; it also has a purpose.
Adding drywall to your basement can improve the insulation of your space, function as a fire barrier, and add value to your property. The good news is, drywall is very affordable, easy to maintain, highly customizable, and is available in moisture-friendly options which are ideal for basement settings.
