Placeholder ImageWhat You Should Consider When Remodeling Your Basement A basement remodel could change your entire home

Of all the rooms in your home, the basement should have a comfort level that far surpasses anywhere else. This is a place where the foundation should be relaxation. Your basement remodel could be the final piece to completing your dream home. With time and care, your it will look better than you could even imagine, but it’s a process that deserves meticulous thought and attention. So, before you dive in, we’re going to highlight a few important factors that everyone should consider.

The Right Design

Being able to pinpoint your preferred design is crucial to the remodeling process. Any layout is generally attainable, but the last thing you want is to second-guess yourself by the time it’s completed. When you meet with a contractor, make sure you are accurately prepared, as it’ll only help you reach the end result you want. With planning your design, financial considerations will come into play. In addition to helping you with design choices, the contractor will also give you a detailed assessment of cost, and what would be beneficial for your particular space.

Moisture: It’s a Problem

There are multiple ways to tackle the issue. The reason it’s important to address this problem is due to its severity and the overall scale of the investment. You do not want the smallest of storms to consistently impact your home. Given the fact that a basement is the lowest point of a house, moisture (whether from precipitation, groundwater, or general condensation) will play a role. The first step is to locate the primary problem areas, and what needs the most attention. The simplest solution, if condensation, would be to install fans or a dehumidifier. Beyond that, it would be wise to patch up any potential openings in the foundation. The fear with a buildup of moisture is that it can lead to mold, and before remodeling, you want to make sure that there is no danger of this situation occurring.

Lighting

This goes together with the design aspect of the project, but it’s important to separately consider the lighting of your basement. From the number of lights to their placement and angle, and especially the type of bulbs you want to use, it’s an aspect of remodeling that should not be overlooked. Depending on the size of the ceiling and layout of the room, there are a variety of lighting techniques you can choose to make your basement glow.

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!!
