A Place to Entertain in Wenham
A couple living in Wenham have retired and were looking to add a tasting area, bar, and entertainment space in their unfinished basement. They also planned to add a half bath with two sinks. They found us and decided they wanted our finishing system in their basement. We began with our EverLast wall system in White and finished linen ceiling tiles. We installed two new EverLast window inserts, recessed can lights, and a sewage ejector for their new bathroom. We added MillCreek Natural Oak flooring everywhere except for the new bathroom, where we used our standard tile flooring. Finally, we finished the staircase with a mahogany railing and trim.
A Basement Family and Laundry Room
A man living in a home in Wenham, Massachusetts, found our company through our affiliate company, Blackdog Builders. He was very happy with the results of his home renovation project and decided to look into finishing his basement as well. He had a basic idea of what he was looking for: A laundry room and a second family room. He wanted the family room to be more of a general-purpose room with good lighting and recessed lighting. The space is about 800 square feet in total, and he would like to finish half of it. The space does not have any water or flooding issues, making this a project without a hard deadline for them to begin. For that reason, they decided not to pursue the project as of yet. When they do, they will reach back out to us.
A Gym and Entertainment Area in Hampton
This project was for a couple in Hampton, New Hampshire. They were looking to finish their 1500 square foot basement to create an entertainment area and a small gym. We began by using our white Vinyl EverLast wall panel system, with metal studs. We placed decorative post surrounds on their existing posts, and added recessed can lighting. We finished the ceiling with our linen ceiling panels and added ThermalDry flooring. We then added 800 Square Feet of electrical baseboard heating and a SaniDry system to keep the space clean and dry. 
Overhauling a Basement in Marblehead, MA
Some homes have beautiful basements. This Marblehead home, unfortunately, did not. Our clients never went into their basement. They hated it because it had a smelly stale old carpet and stained paneling. Our clients are into fitness, and they hated the idea of working out in a space that made them slightly nauseated. We are completely renovating the space! We're removing all the old carpet and paneling, finishing the space with our mildew and mold resistant product and we're adding a gorgeous wall covering mirror. Now our clients can work out in a clean and healthy space! 
A Multi-Family Basement Finishing
A multi-family homeowner is looking to have her basement refinished. Because of the height of her ceiling and ductwork, this space will be used for dry storage. The floors were previously finished, and they are happy with them. Their walls, however, need to be refinished, which is why we used our EverLast vinyl wall system. We painted their ceiling black for a tidier appearance and replaced two older windows with EverLast basement windows. We replaced her lightbulbs with recessed LED lights and added a SaniDryXP air system to keep the space dry.
Historic District Basement Finishing
A couple with a young son are looking to have their basement finished in Marblehead, Massachusetts. They would like to have more space for storage that is dry and safe from the elements. For that reason, we are turning the area into clean storage. We began by painting the ceiling, leaving the large wooden ceiling beams exposed. We then added recessed LED lights, new outlets, some alarms, and doors. The doors we added were rustic, with aged bronze knobs, and the flooring we installed was Light Pecan ElitePlank. Finally, we added a SaniDry XP system. This gave them a great new, beautiful place to store their items. 
A Partially Finished Job in Beverly
This project is in a partially finished basement. Doing work on a partially finished basement is something that happens quite often. This can be due to a few things. One cause is that the previous contractor didn’t complete the project for one reason or another. Another common reason is that the homeowner decided to have a portion of the basement finished for insulation or flooding purposes, but it wasn’t the right time to have it finished in its entirety.  In this basement, there were a few things left to do. The first were the walls, which we finished with our vinyl panel system in white. The second was the flooring, which we finished with MillCreek flooring in the color Natural Oak. The final item in this basement was to install a sump pump. This resulted in a fully finished, safe space for the homeowner and her kids.
Clean Storage and Laundry in Beverly
A young couple in Beverly recently added a second story to their home. They enjoyed the process and were hoping to finish their basement as well. Unfortunately, that wasn't something their contractor could help them with. They found us and asked if we could create a new laundry area, bathroom, office, and area for clean storage.  We began by installing our 2'X2' foot finished linen ceiling tiles. To these, we added recessed can lights. We used our EverLast wall system in white, adding new outlets, switches and jacks. Finally, we refinished their stairs with a mounted handrail and Natural Oak flooring. 
A Simple Finish in Beverly
A single mom of two young children is looking to have her basement finished in Beverly, Massachusetts. She was looking for an inexpensive solution to expand her living space for herself and her children. We were able to work within her budget and create a simple but clean and dry space. We began by installing new MillCreek natural oak flooring across the entire space. We also added wall panels around her stairs to create additional safety. This was a quick and efficient job that resulted in a clean and usable space for the family. 
An Office Space in Ipswich
A nice couple live in a home in Ipswich with their dog. The husband works from home most days and wants to finish their basement to have more space. They decided to create one large room with the stairs dividing the space in half. We added a half wall on one side of the stairs and made an open railing on the other side. The railing was oak, with a newel post and primed balusters on a composite curb. We painted the ceiling black for stylistic and functional purposes. We used our vinyl system around the perimeter and elite plank espresso flooring. We added 6-panel doors with aged bronze knobs and recessed LED lights. This allowed us to expand our space and provide them a modern, clean finished basement.
