Job Stories

A family in Nottingham, New Hampshire, is creating a family room in their garage. They will preserve enough of the garage to have room for two cars while also finishing a heated, insulated room for their children and family to spend time in. The finished room was small, at around 300 square feet. We used our paintable wall system and six-panel doors with matte black doorknobs. We added baseboard heat, our 2X2 foot linen ceiling tiles, and ThermalDry Elite plank flooring in light pecan.

Chloe and Dan are a couple from Woburn MA who wanted to update their 31-year-old home. When it came time to update the basement, they trusted Total Basement Finishing, a Blackdog Affiliate, to achieve their basement dreams. TBF turned half of their basement into a family room and the rest into office space.

We help homeowners with project sizes, big and small. For the property owner of an apartment complex in Woburn, his goal was to get more light into the basement so that anyone sleeping in the finished area would have suitable lighting. After evaluating the space, we only needed to demolish one interior wall, cut the foundation, and add one large egress window. This greatly improved the amount of light flowing into the space.

Nell and Christopher wanted their basement finished. Total Basement Finishing, a Blackdog Affiliate, was working steadily on the project when one of our plumbers had a great idea. He recommended that Nell and Christopher opt to have their basement heat altered so that it was on a different zone. This creative thinking allowed Nell and Christopher to adjust heat in the basement without having to think about the remainder of the house. We all know basements can be colder than the rest of the home, even with the fantastically insulated walls from Total Basement Finishing! Now Nell and Christopher have a great new space for their home!

Jen and Benjamin live in a beautiful home in Winchester MA and are accompanied by their two children, ages six and seven. Needing more room in their home for their growing family, the couple decided to call Total Basement Finishing, a Blackdog Affiliate. TBF was able to finish their 1,300 sq ft basement and even installed a half bath.

A couple with a newly built home in Winchester wanted to finish their basement. When they bought the house, they planned to finish it because of the large amount of square footage it could add to their home.   We began their finishing project with our EverLast wall system in white and finished the ceiling with over 1,200 2X2 foot linen ceiling tiles. We added new door knobs to their existing doors, canned recessed lights, and new outlets around the perimeter. They chose our ThermalDry flooring and electric baseboard heating. To keep the space dry, we installed a SaniDry XP air filtration system. This resulted in a nearly doubling the usable space in their home.

A couple in Winchester, Massachusetts, have been looking to finish their basement for a long time. They have decided to take the plunge and are very excited about getting into the construction phase. This project will include moving the location of an existing bathroom to allow for more space to be used for the main room. For this project, we are using our vinyl wall panels around the perimeter, including composite shelving spanning one wall to increase storage space. We will also be replacing their ceiling with two different styles. The first, which will cover most of the space, is our linen ceiling tiles. For the rest of the space, we will be painting the ceiling black to preserve height. In addition to the bathroom, we are also reworking their existing washer-dryer setup so they can continue to use the bathroom for laundry. Finally, we are installing our ThermalDry Elite Plank flooring in grey across the entire basement.

A couple in Winchester, Massachusetts, were looking to have their partially finished basement completed. This left a section of approximately 650 feet to be finished into one large room and a bathroom. We began by moving the bathroom plumbing, then changed the layout to reduce the bathroom size and gain additional space in the main room. We then installed our EverLast perimeter wall system in vinyl with new doors and composite shelving on a half wall. We installed LED lights throughout, a single electrical baseboard heating unit, and new electrical. Next, we installed our linen ceiling tiles and ThermalDry Elite plank flooring. After we reworked the washer-dryer setup, there was still a suitable bathroom and a large room they could use for anything they needed.

A family in Danville, New Hampshire, is looking to expand their living space. Their basement is unfinished, and they are looking into having a family room, bedroom, office, and full bath done in this space. They would also like to have the area at the bottom of the stairs finished to be used as a common area. This would add a large amount of living space, as well as a place to spend more time together as a family.   We met with the family originally to give them an idea of what we could do to finish their basement. They were happy to find out what the project may look like but aren't able to actually begin the project for at least a year. For this reason, we were asked to reach back out at that time.
