There is a lot to know when remodeling a basement. Your basement is unlike other rooms in your home because it is subterranean, and therefore, has a more complicated situation with moisture and insulation. In Maryland, we’re known for having the hottest summers and sometimes the harshest winters, so having a basement that can handle these drastic weather changes is a must. Here are a few must-know tips that you should keep in mind when remodeling your Maryland basement.

Check For Water Issues

Almost every basement has some kind of water or moisture issue. Since they’re underground, it’s simply the nature of basements. Problems that can arise with moisture can be avoided when taking the proper precautions. When beginning your basement remodeling project, it is imperative that you first check for any problem areas such as pools of water, dripping areas, and cracks in your foundation. Before you start the brunt of the remodeling, you need to make sure your basement is in top condition first.

Hire Someone Who Knows The Code

This basic principle of basement remodeling is essential. While DIY projects can seem easy, they often can be time and money consuming. Not to mention, you need to be very familiar with the basement building codes in your local area. By hiring a professional remodeling service in Maryland, you’re working with a team of experts that is extremely well-versed in building codes. That way, you don’t have to spend countless hours researching something you might not readily understand or be able to execute.

Insulation Is Key

Maryland seasons can be extreme, and winter is no exception. Since basements are underground, or in some cases, partially underground, you need to make sure that your basement is properly insulated. If your dream is for your basement to become a luxurious home theater, a personal gym, or simply an extra hangout room for the kids, you want to be able to use it all year long. When you hire a team of experienced remodeling professionals, you are effectively ensuring that your basement is going to be warm and dry no matter the season.

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!!
