Is your basement in desperate need of a remodel? When finishing your basement, there are a lot of aspects to basement remodeling that you need to know. These pro tips will help you finish your basement remodeling project every step of the way.

Plumbing

If your basement doesn’t already have a bathroom in it, there are a few things to take note of. First, you’ll need to figure out whether the main drain runs above ground or below ground. With a main drain that runs underground, be sure to build your new bathroom near that main drain. That way, installing a bathroom in the basement will be just as much work as building a bathroom upstairs.

Natural Light

Basements are known for being dark spaces that lack natural light, but there are ways to fix this during your basement remodeling. If you’re looking to turn your basement into an in-law suite or extra living space with a kitchen or bar, be sure to put the kitchen space near any windows. This way, there will be ample light when cooking and cleaning the kitchen area.

Ceiling

st visually appealing aspect of any basement. There are pipes, ducts, and wires to cover up, and it’s hard to find a way to do this while maintaining the finished look you want for your basement. Most basements have tiled ceilings, which many people find unattractive. A local basement remodeling company can help you transform your outdated tiled ceiling into drywall ceiling, giving it that sleek, modern look that you’ve always wanted.

Height

The height of the basement walls is important to consider as well. Think about the end goals of your basement remodeling project. Are you looking to transform your basement into a home gym? Is it simply another space for the kids to play and hang out? If you need added space to your basement wall height, contact a local remodeling company and see what they can do for you.

Lighting

Lighting is the simplest yet one of the most transformative aspects of basement remodeling. Recessed lighting incorporated into the ceiling is a must for all basements. It’s the perfect way to illuminate a large space without aggravating fluorescent lights. Dimmable options for recessed lighting will make any basement the perfect hang out space.

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!!
