Atlanta Basement
Finishing

Basements are often overlooked as opportunities to create additional space in your home. Basement remodeling is a creative and cost-effective way to add new rooms to your home without having to increase its square footage. Whether you want a home theater for entertaining friends or you need an extra bedroom for a growing family, consider finishing your basement.

While you may have ideas for your basement renovation design, the process is multifaceted and requires a professional approach. Hiring a specialty construction company ensures the finished basement is structurally sound, waterproof, insulated, and has good airflow.

The Importance of Planning and Preparation

Planning and preparation are crucial for a basement remodel. Before beginning the project, we inspect the entire basement. We take moisture and airflow tests to determine if there are leaks in the plumbing or draining issues from the house’s exterior. Rising damp or poor ventilation can cause rot and damage within the walls and floor, which must be repaired before starting structural, insulation, or electrical work.

Planning and preparation help reduce costs and adhere to a budget, and it minimizes the risk of unexpected or hidden expenses. For example, a site test may indicate that you need to install an HVAC system to improve airflow. It is more time and cost-effective to fit ducting and air conditioning units before the renovation is completed.
