Basement Renovations

Basement renovations can add some usable square footage to your home. This can be a great way to add another room to your home, but you need to consider waterproofing before you spend any money on any other part of the renovation. Otherwise, you can look forward to all your money and efforts going down the drain. Mold, mildew and even bugs can quickly destroy a finished basement.

Before doing basement renovations, not only is it important to waterproof your basement, it is important to choose the right method for your basement. No two homes are the same, so not every home will need the same waterproofing system. A qualified waterproofing contractor can inspect your home and help you determine the best system for you and your family.

Once you have the basement properly waterproofed, you can then focus on the design of your basement renovations. Bright colors are a great idea since the basement doesn’t get much if any natural light. You will want to keep the space as open and airy as possible so you don’t feel like your in a cave.

If you are looking at installing hardwood floors in your basement, engineered hardwoods fair much better in below grade conditions than do the traditional plank floors. Bamboo is also a good, eco-friendly flooring alternative that does well in a basement.
