How to Prepare for Basement Remodeling

You’ve decided you want to rework your lifeless basement space into something amazing. Basement remodeling is the route to go if you want to add a home theater or a nice bar area that you can retreat to after a long day. It’s not as easy as just throwing down a rug and shoving a television in your basement, though, because you need to take a few steps to really prepare your basement for a complete remodel. We’ve outlined a few things you want to consider before starting your basement remodeling.

Lighting and Ceilings

One way you can make your basement look great is by using drop ceilings. Drop ceilings will conceal electrical and plumbing lines while leaving them easily accessible, if anything were to ever go wrong with the lines. It’s also easy to install recessed lighting or track lighting if you use drop ceilings, which are two options we would recommend for a basement space.

Monitoring Moisture

Your basement getting too moist can definitely be an issue, potentially leading to mold. Check to see that there is no already existing water damage or cracks in your walls. Adding a vapor barrier or even an offset space–that is, a space between your finished walls and the cement basement walls–can also prevent moisture buildup while you’re trying to finish your basement remodeling.

Thinking About Insulation

Basements are typically colder areas. Your finished basement would certainly benefit from insulation to keep away the cold air. Insulation is great because it will also help prevent outside sounds from getting into your basement. If your basement still feels like it might get too cold to use, you may want to install floor level heat vents. Basement remodeling is a complete approach; that means making sure the temperature is nice as well.

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!!
