Making a Basement Oceanside Ready
A couple moving to a condominium community in Wells, Maine, wanted to have their basement finished in a way that would make it suitable for being so close to the ocean. We began the project by tearing out the existing flooring and walls, which were susceptible to mold and mildew. After this, we installed our EverLast vinyl wall system around the perimeter and added a few walls to separate the space. We installed our linen ceiling tiles across the entire space, then added new canned recessed LED lighting. To make the space comfortable, we added electrical baseboard heat and included a SaniDry dehumidifier. Finally, we replaced the existing stairs with oak treads, painted risers, and oak railings, and used our light pecan-colored ElitePlank flooring across the space.
A Family Room in Rockport
A family in Rockport recently had their third child and needed more space. They heard about our company after we created a gym for one of their relatives and decided to use us. We finished half of their basement, moved their existing laundry to the opposite side of the space, and created one large room. We refinished their staircase, converting it to oak with pine risers and an open handrail. We used our 2 X 2-foot linen ceiling tiles, plain ThermalDry flooring planks, and vinyl wall panels. We used recessed can lights, decorative post surrounds, and a SaniDry XP air system. This left the family with more space that was safe and warm for their growing family.
A SaniDry System in Rockport
A family in Rockport was considering finishing their basement. This project presented many challenges, as the house was built in the mid-1700s. Older homes don't always have the structure to be finished in accordance with modern codes and safety standards. Although they were looking to create a playroom and bathroom, after a thorough evaluation of the space, we determined that wouldn't be possible. However, there was something we could do to help. The basement was constantly damp and let mildewed air into the upper level of the house, posing a health concern. For this reason, we installed a SaniDry system, which would reduce the overall moisture and keep the air in the rest of their home clean.
A Return Reimagined
A homeowner in Rockport, Massachusetts, reached out to us a few years ago to discuss finishing her basement. Ultimately, at that time, they decided to put an addition on their home and decided to prioritize that project first. They said they would reach back out when they were ready to move forward with the project. More recently, they did just that and called us back with an all-new vision for the space. Now, they've decided to add a guest room in the basement and a small area to spend time in. The basement is dry and a good height, making it easy to finish. Now, when it's time to begin their project, we will be ready to make their vision a reality.
