Your Local Basement Finishing & Remodeling Contractor

Since your basement is underground, it is an entirely different environment from the rest of your home. Mold and mildew are found often lurking in a basement and special care is needed. Before you cover up any problems with a basic finishing system, we recommend having your basement inspected by one of our trained basement professionals.

Why Basements Are Different

Not every remodeling contractor knows how to properly prepare a basement to serve as a regular living space. Reasons you want our specialized skills include:

• Cold & damp: Basements are below grade-level and the soil is 50-55 degrees on the outside, making your basement cooler than the upstairs. Cold air and warm air create relative humidity that can cause mold to grow, even without any water flooding the basement.
• Porous walls: Basement walls are made of concrete, which is porous. This allows moisture to migrate in and out of the basement in vapor form. This can create gallons of water in the air in vapor form that your building materials will absorb.
• Requires special equipment: Common issues in a basement that can create problems are sump pumps, floods drains and hot water tanks leaking.

All of these issues make it important to look at what type of material we perform a basement finishing project with. With proper assessment and planning, we’ll make sure you get the professional results you’re looking for.
