Basement remodeling is a great way to increase your living and/or storage space, and also add value to your home. For more than 20 years, we have been turning basements in northern Atlanta into a room our customers can enjoy. The first step in a basement remodeling project is to figure out what you want to use the space for. Basements offer natural advantages for certain types of activities.

Do you have children or teenagers? They often want a place of their own to hang out, but you also want them to be at home. Consider your basement remodeling project as a place they can spend their time and still be close by. Have you always wanted a bar? Your basement can be the perfect place for it. You can make it as simple or extravagant as you want – something where you can keep a few drinks on hand for personal use or a place where you can host a full party. It can contain storage and areas for seating as well.

The lack of lighting in a basement is something you can actually use to your advantage when embarking on a basement remodeling project. We can help you turn the space into a home theater, where the darkness makes it even more realistic. Do you have a photographer in your household? A basement could also make for a perfect dark room. But what if you want more lighting? If parts of your basement go above the ground, we can add windows or make existing ones bigger. Adding windows can also be a safety factor, as they give an alternate escape route in case there is a fire.

Maybe you want to use the space to create an extra bedroom, such as a guest room. There is usually ready access to water lines and heating and cooling ducts, which would make putting in a bathroom easier than it might be elsewhere in your home. This might be the perfect basement remodeling project for you if you don’t want to physically add an addition to your home.

One of the most important facets of basement remodeling is to make sure you keep it dry – protecting it not just from flooding, but also from water vapor. You also want to make sure it is properly insulated, which not only keeps the cold out, but prevents condensation; the ground and walls stay cool year-round, and when warmer air in the room collides with the cool walls, condensation forms. This condensation is the main source of the moisture that will cause mold and mildew in basements. As part of your basement remodeling project, we will install the proper insulation to keep your basement dry.

Another important thing to consider is air circulation. We can add venting where necessary, to make sure there is proper circulation.
