Before & After Photos

Recently, a homeowner in Madison, NJ had a vision of turning their dark, unfinished basement into a bright, modern living area that could serve as both a functional and inviting extension of their home. Tired of seeing valuable square footage go to waste, they contacted the basement finishing specialists at Quality 1st for help. After a detailed inspection and consultation, our team crafted a custom plan to bring the space to life, prioritizing both aesthetics and durability to ensure the finished basement would stand the test of time.

We installed our patented EverLast Wall Panels, specially engineered to resist moisture, mold, and mildew, key concerns in any basement environment. To complement the walls, we laid down our ThermalDry Elite Plank Flooring, a stylish, wood-look alternative designed to withstand humidity and temperature changes. Together, these finishing systems gave the basement a sleek, finished appearance while providing long-term protection against moisture.

The transformation not only met the homeowner’s design goals but also delivered peace of mind, knowing their new space was as resilient as it was beautiful!

This Edison, NJ homeowner wanted to finish his basement. Quality 1st Basement Systems had previously waterproofed the basement, and the first step to finishing the space was the basement floor tiles. ThermalDry Basement Flooring was installed on this concrete floor. ThermalDry tiles are completely waterproof and will never be damaged by water. These basement tiles also prevent water vapor from getting into the basement through the pourous concrete. The floor tiles look great, the basement is warmer than before, and is ready for the next step of finishing!

We installed EverLast Basement Wall Panels and ThermalDry Flooring for this beautiful basement in Edison, NJ.The EverLast Basement Wall Panels have built-in insulation and are mold and moisture resistant. The ThermalDry Flooring is great for the basement because it can easily be removed and replaced. Each interlocking piece has pegs underneath so that the carpet does not lay directly on the cold concrete floor. The flooring is waterproof and mold resistant so unlike regular carpet that would have to be ripped up and thrown away, the ThermalDry flooring will be protected. 

Quality 1st Basement Systems remodeled this Summit, NJ basement floor with ThermalDry basement floor panels. Now it looks beautiful and is waterproof too!

With help from our System Design Specialist, Tom Carrano, and Foreman, Juan Garcia, Quality 1st Basements was able to transform this musty and damp basement into a dry and healthy space! Our team installed not only a full basement waterproofing system but also removed the bottom portion of the basement walls that were damp from water seepage. Juan and his crew installed our EverLast Wall Restoration Panels that are waterproof and mold resistant. These panels help keep the basement dry by forcing any water seepage directly down to our WaterGuard drainage system. EverLast Wall Panels have built-in insulation to create a more comfortable environment for your friends and family to enjoy.
