Basement Refinishing

Using the earth itself for insulation and temperature control, a basement can serve as refuge, relaxation space and even guest quarters.  But don’t be naïve enough to think that fresh paint and furniture will make a basement habitable:  the moisture present in most basements will destroy furniture, clothing and equipment when the foundation and walls are not properly sealed.  When considering a basement finishing project in your home, keep several items in mind, including moisture prevention, building codes and budget.  A licensed contractor will be able to guide you through the decision-making process, covering the various forms of construction and selecting the most suitable for you.  There are pros and cons for each of the different types of basement construction, and your contractor should be able to advise you on these. Whether you go with conventional or soft-panel construction, or you decide on wall liners or thermal systems, your contractor should have experience in the installation.
