Increase Your Living Space By Converting Your Basement Into a Useful Room
If you simply utilize your basement for storage and a Halloween haunted house, you're doing yourself a disservice! An unfinished basement has the potential to be a fantastic living space, including:
- Media/game space
- Home office or hobby space
- Playroom for children
- a second bedroom
- Cave for men or wine cellar
If life changes and family needs have you desiring more space in your home, we can help you convert your basement into a living space for the way you live today, giving teens space to hang out and entertain friends, mom or dad a home office, or an additional bedroom if your children have outgrown sharing a room. A beautiful concrete floor is a solid foundation for realizing your vision for the area.
Decorative concrete is the ideal basement flooring material.
With a decorative concrete floor, you have limitless stylistic options, ranging from a simple stained concrete finish to concrete overlays that can be stamped or hand-cut to resemble stone, rock, wood plank, tile, brick, slate, and even polished marble. If the basement floor is fractured and rough, we may repair and restore the surface, install a moisture barrier, and apply a variety of attractive concrete resurfacing systems. You are guaranteed the extraordinary longevity of seamless, sealed ornamental concrete that is resistant to cracks, chips, UV fading, dampness, scars, and spills, regardless of the style you pick. You will have the most durable floor available, which will be able to endure any activities that occur in your newly improved space.
Additional suggestions for basement renovation
It will take more than a new floor to transform an unfinished basement into a safe and functioning place. Depending on the extent of the demand, this could involve installing insulation, drywall, paint, lighting, internet, air conditioning, sound insulation, and storage to keep the space organized. Gaining useful living space for your house is worth the effort, particularly if you have a spacious basement that can be partitioned into multiple-use spaces, such as a full-service laundry room, a home gym, and an alternate entertainment area. Mix the area as you see fit; there are no rules here!
Add a basement bedroom to increase the value of your house.
It is fairly usual to convert the basement into a bedroom, suite, or apartment in order to increase usable living space. The addition of a bathroom or kitchenette to a suite or apartment makes it suitable for accommodating guests or college students returning home. Separate but together strikes the ideal balance between individual and communal time. Move the children's bedrooms and, depending on their ages, a playroom or gaming and media center to the basement.
