Total Basement Finishing, A Blackdog Affiliate Before & After Photos

This basement in Melrose, MA, complete with Halloween decorations, was pretty scary. With Total Basement Finishing, this Melrose family was able to add additional living space AND an extra bathroom!

This is a recent basement finishing project we completed in Southern New Hampshire that features a spacious full bath, bedroom, and common area.

Challenge: A couple in Lynnfield, Massachusetts, have a beautiful home. The husband is a stay-at-home dad to two teenagers, and while they have a finished basement, they want to refinish it to be a beautiful entertainment space. To achieve this, they want not only their basement refinished but they also would like us to finish their garage. They need much work done, wanting the space to be completely gutted. This requires changing the mechanicals, converting from oil to propane, and tearing everything down to the foundation.

Solution: We removed everything down to the garage ceiling, stairwell, and box staircase. After the demolition, we replaced the stairs with beautiful oak. We then had an electrician replace the old wiring and install a new panel. We removed the old oil tank, boiler, and heater, replacing them with new and improved utilities. Ultimately, we created two beautiful new rooms with a fully painted basement, a new cedar closet, and three areas of custom cabinetry.

This space is now a fully functioning office to run a business from home. 

This project is in Haverhill, Ma. where the homeowner wanted to transform his unfinished basement into a man cave.  This project features our Everlast Pre-finished vinyl panel wall system, thermal dry floor, and a custom stair solution to open up the space.
