Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Racine, WI, who has lived in their home for 20 years is looking to enhance their basement by finishing a 684-square-foot area. The project includes updating the ceiling and flooring to create a more open space. The renovation will feature ThermalDry Elite Plank Flooring in Light Pecan, recessed can lights for improved illumination, a painted ceiling for a clean look, and a vinyl perimeter wall for added durability and insulation.

The homeowners, who have owned the home for 2 years and found us online, are remodeling their unfinished basement to include a family room, a bathroom (rough-in done), and additional storage. The project also includes the installation of a slop sink (rough-in done), wood laminate flooring, walls, ceiling, utility area separation, a dry-bar with a mini-fridge, and more overhead lights and electrical outlets. The 443 square foot open concept space will feature a customer-provided floor. Originally, the project included a full bath, but this was removed to stay within budget. The redesign to an open concept space was well-received, allowing the customers to possibly phase the bathroom in the future. The project was completed within their budget, and the customers were extremely happy with the outcome, rating the project with all fours and fives on the survey.

A homeowner in Greendale, WI, had an unfinished basement that he wanted to transform into a functional living space. Since purchasing the home in 2014, the homeowner and his family had occasionally experienced minor water issues in the basement, although they were not a consistent problem. Despite these concerns, Jim envisioned turning the basement into a recreation area, exercise room, and home office.

Initially, the homeowner considered adding a full bath to the basement. However, he decided instead to focus on maximizing the existing space and converting a half bath on the main floor into a full bath. The primary goal was to create a comfortable and practical environment for his family while addressing the basement's occasional water issues.

Our team approached the project by first addressing the moisture problem to ensure a dry and comfortable basement. We installed a Sanidry system to control humidity and prevent future water damage. To enhance the basement's aesthetics and functionality, we incorporated a painted ceiling and ThermalDry Elite Plank Flooring in Walnut, covering two-thirds of the 629-square-foot area. Additionally, recessed can lights were installed to provide ample lighting throughout the space.

By transforming the basement into a versatile area that includes a recreation space, an exercise room, and a home office, we were able to meet the homeowners needs without the addition of a new bathroom. The updated basement now serves as a beautiful, functional space that combines practicality and style, allowing the homeowner and his family to enjoy their home to the fullest.

A homeowner in Hales Corner, WI, wanted to transform their 366-square-foot open concept basement into a functional space with a bedroom and a bathroom. Due to time constraints, we scheduled a separate appointment for both homeowners to be present together. They envisioned an open concept area with a full bath, featuring a painted ceiling, recessed can lights, and our finished wall system. They also wanted to see our ThermalDry® Elite Plank Flooring in walnut. Additionally, the project included installing a SaniDry Sedona Air System to maintain optimal air quality. The result is a beautifully finished basement that meets their needs and exceeds their expectations.

Seeking a quote for a comprehensive basement finishing project, The homeowner envisions a transformative journey for their home. Having owned the residence since August 2021, they are eager to convert their unfinished basement into a well-designed and functional space.

The proposed plan involves creating a long hallway that ingeniously navigates around mechanical elements, ultimately leading to the back half on the west side. Here, the vision is to establish an open and versatile space that can serve various purposes.

The project specifications outline a 582 sq. ft. area encompassing the unavoidable hallway and a designated rec room. The aesthetic touches include a painted ceiling and plank flooring for the hallway, while the rec room is designed with painted walls, a painted ceiling, and a warm pecan plank floor. This meticulous approach ensures a harmonious blend of functionality and style, turning the basement into a welcoming and purposeful extension of the home.
