Why Basement Finishing Is Important

Many homeowners do not realize that there is a difference between basement remodeling and basement finishing. Most tend to use these terms interchangeably. However, there is a big difference between these two concepts.

When a basement is finished, a bare and stark area is transformed into a well-finished basement. The entire construction and layout of the area will be planned,and the room will be designed. All the finishing options will also be very carefully reviewed.

Basement Finishing Process

There are several processes that are part and parcel of a residential basement finishing project such as:

  • It is crucial to get a building permit even though the basement is not visible from the main street. When you are expanding your living space, you are required to get a permit, and we can help you with this.

  • It is a good idea to get the space insulated. This is especially true if you are planning to use the basement as a decoration room or a playroom. The right kind of insulation tiles on the ceiling, and proper wall insulation will help prevent noise from carrying through the basement ceiling.

  • You are also required to ensure that there are at least 7 feet of ceiling space (which can differ as per local codes). It also means that during a home basement finishing job, ducts or pipes may have to be relocated away from the center of the available space.

  • Making sure that the entire area is waterproofed perfectly is necessary.

  • A basement refinishing project never includes plywood subflooring, drywall or wood studs as these can get impacted by moisture. We always recommend the use of waterproof basement refinishing systems. If necessary, we may also install special heavy gauge plastic sheeting before starting on the wall and floor finishing work. This helps contain humidity levels in the basement area.
