Some things to consider when planning your basement:

Rooms Needed

Do you need a full-time bedroom or just a room for a few guests each year? Do you want space for an office, or room for gym equipment? Our basement designers will help make sure your basement is set up to best suit your needs.

Subfloor Options

Subfloors can add warmth to your floor and also have waterproofing properties.

Basement Soundproofing

Need a little extra separation of sound?

Heating Considerations

The last thing you want is a cold basement. Vent placement, cold air returns, and additional heating supplies are important considerations.

Storage

Don’t underestimate the importance of storage.

LEARN MORE

Primary Flooring

Carpet is warm and cozy. Hard surfaces such as laminate and vinyl plank can be easier to clean and have a wide variety of designs. Which is best for you really comes down to your priorities.

LEARN MORE

Wet/Dry Bars

Would your basement benefit from a bar or kitchenette?

Shower vs Tub

Many of our clients are surprised to find out that a shower is actually more expensive than a bathtub.

Fireplace Options

Electric is the least expensive option. Gas is a great option, but it is also the most expensive and can take up room in your space. Bio-flame fireplaces are a great option you may not have considered.

Home Theatre

We offer many different options for your basement, from a simple wall conduit for hiding your tv cables.
