Placeholder Image3 Tips For Your Basement Thinking about upgrading your basement? Consider these 3 tips.

The basement should be an inviting space. It’s a room where fun is meant to be experienced. If you’re considering a remodel or redesign, it’s important to understand the best practices so your basement can flourish. In some homes, people tend to ignore the basement space, and often leave it looking cluttered with materials that aren’t visually appealing. That is not what you want, and we have a variety of ways to mask anything of that nature.

Choosing Your Ceiling

The ceiling of your basement is a subtle feature, but it actually holds great importance. In homes that don’t take care of the room, a true ceiling may be lacking. From the electrical wiring to the plumbing design, some basements show it all. That’s not a good visual. By finishing the ceiling, it makes it a more comforting place. There are three main styles of ceiling you could choose: drop, dry or decorative. A drop ceiling is easy, as it also gives you quick access to any pipes. In addition, they do a fine job of blocking out excess noise. Conversely, a drywall ceiling is maybe the plainest form. It’s also simple, but does not have the added access like a drop ceiling. Finally, a decorative ceiling is the style that can add the most to your basement in a visual sense.

Insulation

The insulation of your basement is something to consider when assessing the design. It’s not exactly an exterior feature, but having a basement that is thoroughly insulated will increase the comfort of the room. Not only that, but it will also help with the temperature, as well as any moisture problems that may arise.

Lighting

Finally, the lighting is a key fixture of any room. With your basement, recessed lighting might be the way to go. The style of lighting is important to determine before any construction begins. It’s also smart to figure out the type of bulbs to invest in, as well as the level of wattage you would prefer. You’ll also want to assess how the pockets of lighting will be spaced out. You don’t want the basement to be a black hole of darkness, but you also don’t want the light to overwhelm. So, it’s important to find a nice balance and separate the areas of light appropriately.

We could not be more pleased with the entire process and outcome of our experience with Albaugh & Sons. From the timely turnaround on coming out to give us an estimate, to the flexibility on adjusting our proposal, and to the quick and professional installation itself. I would highly recommend Albaugh & Sons to anyone in their area of serviceability.

So great to work with. Have had the pleasure of working with both sons who were knowledgeable and courteous. The entire process was easy from estimate to completion of my new deck. Both arrived on time, had my estimate for both deck and basement remodel in a couple of days. Danny, the project manager arrived on time and explained the plans, the work crew were amazing. Old deck demolished and beautiful new composite in its place in less than 2 days. Tiffany, the office manager is prompt in responding to all emails with courteous knowledgeable answers. They make you feel like you are their only customer. Look forward to working with them for my basement remodel. I 100% recommend this company.

I had a beautiful deck built almost 2 years ago. I called yesterday about a few items that have come apart such as the pvc outside corners on the rim/ band board etc. The company was very responsive and ready and eager to help. Because of this, they have made a customer for life! Not only will you get an amazing product, but it appears you get a lifetime of amazing customer service!! 100 out of 5 stars!

We needed a fence as fast as possible for 5 rescue dogs that we took on. Albaugh and Sons was able to provide a great quote and a speedy installation. My wife and I love the new fence. It has literally improved our day to day lives by being able to let the dogs run free in the back. The materials were perfect and high quality. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

I hired Albaugh and Sons to tear out our old deck and replace it with a new composite deck/ screened porch. The front office was a pleasure to deal with and kept my wife and I informed on everything. The crew did an amazing job every step of the way. I was especially impressed with their finish work. The attention to detail was impressive! What I also liked Albaugh and Sons is they had a project manager (Danny) who would occasionally pop over and answer questions and would also keep me updated on progress. I would highly recommend hiring Albaugh and Sons for any of your fence/ deck / home improvement needs.

We are very pleased with the work done by Albaugh and sons. We had them replace our side porch and they did excellent work and built it to our request. Also had them install a three tier rail fence around our property. It is excellent and looks great. We thank Danny and his deck crew and George and his fence crew for their excellent work. I recommend them for any projects you need done. Thank you very much!!
