Buffalo Basement Remodeling Services

There are many great reasons to remodel a basement. Do you need a cool hangout for teenagers? Would you like to have a big laundry room or home office? Do you need an extra bedroom for guests or a family member? You can create whatever you need.

Remodeling a basement costs much less than building an addition because the the walls, floor, and ceiling already exist in an unfinished state. You don’t have to excavate for a foundation, bring in a cement truck, or even have trees and shrubs removed.

Increase Lighting

When planning your basement remodel be sure and include lots of lighting to make your new living space bright and cheerful. Using different types of lighting, such as dimmable can lights and table lamps, can avoid the washed-out effect of harsh overhead lighting.

To eliminate that underground feel, you can light up a basement with window wells to allow plenty of natural light to illuminate the interior. Window wells with built in steps can also provide a means of escape during an emergency.

Adding a Bathroom

Including a bathroom in a basement remodel offers the homeowner a lot of convenience, especially if you plan to add a bedroom as well. New plumbing and drainage lines will need to be installed for a bathroom addition. With the added humidity caused by a shower or tub, you will need to discuss the installation of an exhaust fan and dehumidifier with Buffalo Remodeling Pros.

A Large Laundry Room

If you have wished for a big laundry room where everything is organized, and there’s plenty of working space for folding, ironing, and hanging up clothes, look no further than a basement remodel. Starting from scratch, you can plan and create a laundry room with plenty of storage, lighting, and space to work.

Gain a Home Office

Locating a home office in a basement away from the hub of activity upstairs could be a good option for the work from home professional. A basement home office offers quiet and privacy so you can concentrate. Using insulation in walls and thick carpet on the floor can help muffle sounds and cut down the level of household noise.

Cooling and Heating Your Space

Keeping a basement remodel cool isn’t a problem in Buffalo, NY. Since a basement is largely underground, the temperatures don’t rise as high or fall as low as the temps in the upstairs part of the house. The earth surrounding the basement walls keeps temps steady.

Keeping It Dry

Some basements in Buffalo, NY have problems with dampness which encourage the growth of mold. In order to create healthy living space for the homeowner and family in a damp basement, the installation of a dehumidifier reduces moisture. Using newer types of drywall that resist dampness is a good idea to help keep your basement remodel dry and free of mold growth. The addition of exhaust fans can improve air quality.

If there are leaky cracks in the foundation, these will need to be repaired and waterproofed. Contact Buffalo Remodeling Pros for an assessment of your basement conditions.
