When you decide to finish your basement you can be assured that you’ll get a useful extra space for your home. There are many possibilities for your finished basement, including making it an extra bedroom or a home gym. However, before you finish your basement, you should keep these three factors in mind.

Intended Purpose

As previously stated, the possibilities for a finished basement are virtually endless! You should have some idea of how you’ll want to use your finished basement before you start the process of finishing it though. This is important because your basement’s purpose will influence the design choices you’ll make. For example, if you are planning to use your basement as a home theater, you’ll want to make sure it is soundproofed. If you’re intending to make your basement into an extra bedroom, you’ll have different priorities. You’ll need room for a bed and other amenities, so keep that in mind.

Waterproofing

If you’ve ever dealt with a flooded basement, you know just how much of a hassle it can be! Make sure your basement is protected from moisture when you are remodeling it. Any precipitation can lead to an excess buildup in moisture. Putting a dehumidifier in your basement is an excellent idea because it’ll reduce the moisture in the room. Sump pumps are also essential. Ensuring your basement is protected from moisture will allow you to enjoy your space and could even save you money in the long-term!

Getting Professional Help

Finishing your basement is a large project so you should consult a professional! There may be some cases where it’s required by law to have a professional inspect your basement project. Even if this isn’t legally required, it’s still a good idea. The experts for the knowledge you’ll need to ensure your remodeling project goes well, so use their expertise to your advantage. Don’t undergo this process alone if you don’t have to.

We could not be more pleased with the entire process and outcome of our experience with Albaugh & Sons. From the timely turnaround on coming out to give us an estimate, to the flexibility on adjusting our proposal, and to the quick and professional installation itself. I would highly recommend Albaugh & Sons to anyone in their area of serviceability.

So great to work with. Have had the pleasure of working with both sons who were knowledgeable and courteous. The entire process was easy from estimate to completion of my new deck. Both arrived on time, had my estimate for both deck and basement remodel in a couple of days. Danny, the project manager arrived on time and explained the plans, the work crew were amazing. Old deck demolished and beautiful new composite in its place in less than 2 days. Tiffany, the office manager is prompt in responding to all emails with courteous knowledgeable answers. They make you feel like you are their only customer. Look forward to working with them for my basement remodel. I 100% recommend this company.

I had a beautiful deck built almost 2 years ago. I called yesterday about a few items that have come apart such as the pvc outside corners on the rim/ band board etc. The company was very responsive and ready and eager to help. Because of this, they have made a customer for life! Not only will you get an amazing product, but it appears you get a lifetime of amazing customer service!! 100 out of 5 stars!

We needed a fence as fast as possible for 5 rescue dogs that we took on. Albaugh and Sons was able to provide a great quote and a speedy installation. My wife and I love the new fence. It has literally improved our day to day lives by being able to let the dogs run free in the back. The materials were perfect and high quality. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

I hired Albaugh and Sons to tear out our old deck and replace it with a new composite deck/ screened porch. The front office was a pleasure to deal with and kept my wife and I informed on everything. The crew did an amazing job every step of the way. I was especially impressed with their finish work. The attention to detail was impressive! What I also liked Albaugh and Sons is they had a project manager (Danny) who would occasionally pop over and answer questions and would also keep me updated on progress. I would highly recommend hiring Albaugh and Sons for any of your fence/ deck / home improvement needs.

We are very pleased with the work done by Albaugh and sons. We had them replace our side porch and they did excellent work and built it to our request. Also had them install a three tier rail fence around our property. It is excellent and looks great. We thank Danny and his deck crew and George and his fence crew for their excellent work. I recommend them for any projects you need done. Thank you very much!!
