Placeholder ImageWays Homeowners Might Use a Basement If you aren’t sure how you want to use your basement, here are some ideas to get you started.

If your home is one with a basement, then you have a room with seemingly infinite possibilities. Many people use basements as storage rooms, and while this is one useful way to utilize this room, there are so many other possibilities that you might not have considered.

More people are starting to embrace the idea of using basements as additional living space, and the number of designs you could use is vast. If you aren’t sure how you want to use your basement, here are some ideas to get you started.

Game Room

Some people use areas such as decks or patios as entertaining spaces. Kids might have their bedroom also be their playroom. Have you considered, though, that you could turn your basement into the perfect place for entertainment?

You could add all sorts of games to your basement, such as foosball or ping pong, to make your basement a great hangout spot. You could also consider installing a television if there are video games you want to play. Just be sure there is enough seating to accommodate everyone who will be in the room.

Library

While we are in a digital age, there’s nothing quite like the look and feel that a book offers. Basements offer the perfect solitary area to catch up on all of your reading. You can add a  loveseat to give you a comfortable sitting area to get all of your reading done. You could also place a bookshelf in the corner to keep all of the books you plan to read in the future. Since basements don’t get as much natural light, you will need to get sufficient lighting installed down there if you’re going to try reading.

Home Gymnasium

It can be a chore having to travel to a gym if you want to get your workouts done. It’s much more convenient if your gym is in the comfort of your own home. If you install exercise equipment in your basement, you can work out whenever you want. It makes workouts much easier to fit into your schedule too because you subtract all of the time you would’ve spent commuting to a gym.

Laundry Room

There are already plenty of basements that get used as laundry rooms, and the trend doesn’t seem to be fading anytime soon. If you make a laundry room out of your basement, your laundry room will likely have more space than the average laundry room. It also frees up space on the other floors of your house if you have other plans for how to use them.

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!!
