Placeholder ImageRemodeling Basement Follow these basement remodeling tips.

Remodeling your basement is a valuable home improvement project to take on because it provides you with more space in your home that you can use. Typically, when people think about the space they have available to use in their homes, they are thinking about places like their living room, dining room, and bedrooms. However, a finished basement provides homeowners with what is essentially an extra room in their home they can use for a variety of reasons. If you’re deciding to remodel your basement, you should keep these factors in mind.

Getting An Inspection

Before your basement is finished, it’s important to have it inspected by a professional. Since basements are prone to moisture, it’s vital to ensure there are no existing issues with mold. These problems can spread fast and be expensive to fix, so you should address them before remodeling your basement. They also can cause health issues. If having a professional come inspect your basement isn’t in your budget, you can check for signs of moisture by taping two-foot squares of plastic sheets to your basement floors and check to see if there are any signs in a couple of weeks.

Proper Drainage

Since basements are so likely to experience issues like flooding, it’s critical to make sure your basement has the proper drainage system in place before remodeling it. A great way to make sure your newly-remodeled basement will drain properly is to have sump pumps installed. Also, you should have a replacement battery and a backup sump pump in the case that your original one fails.

The Right Layout

When you’re remodeling your basement, it’s helpful if you have an idea of how you’re planning to use the space. Your remodeled basement can serve as one of many types of rooms but it’s important to know specifically what you’re using it for before you start the remodeling process. Certain rooms require special things like soundproof walls or other accommodations.

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!!
