Basement Finishing
THE BENEFITS OF REMODELING YOUR BASEMENT
From saunas to kids playrooms, the possibilities when basement remodeling are endless. If your family is outgrowing your home, a basement remodel could be the ideal solution. Stay in the neighborhood you love by uncovering your home’s potential with a basement remodel.
As an experienced design-build team, we know the key to a successful basement remodel is prioritizing comfort and design. Comfort includes everything from waterproofing to maximizing natural light. We’ll fix the dampness and darkness of your basement to make way for a usable space that is fully customized to your needs. Is your ceiling low? We can fix that, too! Basement dig outs and house lifts have helped transform countless Denver basements into living areas.
BASEMENT RENOVATION OPTIONS:
DOUBLE THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF YOUR HOME
Basements often run the same length and width of a home, creating ample opportunity for a multi-room floor plan. If your family is outgrowing your home, or you’re looking for added living space but don’t have room to build an addition, a basement remodel is a versatile option. A good design-build company will help you determine the most efficient and cost-effective layout to utilize existing plumbing, heating/cooling, etc.
INCREASE THE CEILING HEIGHT BY LIFTING YOUR HOUSE
Besides looking cool, a house lift is a practical way to add usable space to your home. Just because your current basement is a crawl space with only 6-foot ceilings, doesn’t mean it has to stay that way. A house lift is exactly what is sounds like: a process by which a home is lifted up on stilts in order to add additional support and frame taller walls. You can add a significant amount of ceiling height this way and finally build out the basement of your dreams.
CREATE A DAYLIGHT OR WALK-OUT BASEMENT
Depending on your home and the slope of your lot, it may be possible to create a daylight basement. This type of basement has one or more full-size windows and/or doors above ground, making it an excellent candidate for a secondary living room, light-filled rental unit or indoor/outdoor entertainment area. We’ve also built daylight basements for in-home businesses that need a separate entrance. A daylight basement hardly feels like a basement at all.
WORK FROM HOME IN A BASEMENT HOME OFFICE
Home offices are becoming the new norm. Whether it’s a place to sit down and pay the bills or a full setup for work-from-home days, a basement is often a good quiet place to place a home office. If you don’t want to convert a bedroom into an office, a basement is the next best option for a secluded workspace. Basements are especially clever options for homeowners with a home-based business, since it’s often possible to add a separate entrance and even a waiting room.
TRANSFORM YOUR BASEMENT INTO A KIDS PLAYROOM
We can’t think of a better place for kids to let loose than the basement. We love crafting fun, engaging playrooms that will keep kids occupied indoors through the rainy season. We’ve designed everything from climbing walls to stage curtains to slides, so children can let their imaginations roam free. And of course, we always include an abundance of toy storage. Lots and lots of it to keep your home clutter free at the end of the day. If you’re tired of the living room being taken over by toys, a basement remodel is the perfect solution.
CONVERT YOUR BASEMENT TO AN IN-LAW APARTMENT
You can also turn your basement into a guest suite, home for an aging relative or a rental unit. Basements typically have a large footprint, spanning the length of a home, making it plausible to extend electrical, plumbing and other utilities downward. Attached accessory dwelling units (ADUs) have compact kitchens, as well as separate bathroom, bedroom and living area. They are becoming increasingly common as Denver’s population density rises and new forms of affordable housing are needed.
ENJOY A BASEMENT BAR OR ENTERTAINING AREA
Finished basements are traditionally cozy spaces for relaxing or entertaining. Some choose to set up a pool table or foosball table and create a rec room. Others recognize the basement’s potential to house things like a home theater, home bar or home gym. Whether you want a space for yourself or one to enjoy with friends, we can help craft a personalized basement with tons of character.
