Basement Remodeling Process

Step 1 – Total Basement Waterproofing
98% of all basements will eventually leak due to builder neglect. Most homes are not waterproofed with a rubber membrane. And, most basement floors have not been properly protected below the slab to manage hydrostatic pressure. The first step involves digging a trench throughout the perimeter of the basement.

Step 2 - Install a Thermal Barrier
This will eliminate wall moisture, save on your energy bills and provide you with tax deduction. You will never have to worry wall moisture. The thermal armor offers a continuous vapor barrier into the drainage system to contain wall condensation.

Step 3 - Green Friendly Framing
We can use Galvanized studs vs. Wood. Above, we are framing out the soffit to hide the HVAC trunk lines and all unsightly obstructions. With the right about of passion, equipment and team talent – we can take the ordinary to the extraordinary!

Step 4 – Your Choice
Choose between conventional sheetrock, purple rock, dura rock or aqua fiber rock. We often recommend aqua fiber as it is dent resistant, super water resistant, mold proof and class “A” fire rated. While it looks and paints just like sheetrock it is 100 times stronger.

Step 5 – Make your Basement Unique
You can achieve this through appointed details like crown molding, recess lighting, trophy lights, 6 panel doors, custom wood flooring, and wrap around custom paint. Our objective is to make the space so you would never know you were in a basement.

Step 6 – Home Theatre
Can you imagine a 160 inch LCD picture? While the $300,000 price tag may deter most homeowners, if you can afford this expensive toy, it is a must have. You can even schedule a private test ride with free admission. You can even bring your favorite Blue Ray DVD.
