When it comes to basement finishing Fort Collins, homeowners are often looking for a way to make the space comfortable and livable. Maybe they need a home office, a place to keep their laundry or just an entertainment room.
A finished basement is a living area that is directly accessible to the rest of the house. It must also have a permanent means of heating and cooling and be properly insulated.
Flooring
When finished correctly, a basement can become one of the most used rooms in a home. It increases the value of a property, adds living space and makes your home more enjoyable to live in.
A great way to start a basement remodel is with the flooring. Carpeting is warm and soft, and has sound-dampening properties. It can hide dirt and wear, but must be properly maintained and cleaned to prevent mildew, mold and other problems.
Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) is a great alternative to carpet. It is durable, moisture-resistant and has a wide variety of pattern and color options.
Walls
If your basement is unfinished and bare, we can install high-quality drywall to give it a finished look. Drywalling provides a smooth, clean surface that is easy to paint and can be matched with your home’s existing décor.
We can also add wall shelving to make the most of your space. This can help free up floor space for storage and make your basement feel more organized and open.
Our clients enjoy basement remodeling because it increases the value of their home and makes their living space more livable. However, it is important to be aware of the risks associated with basement remodeling. We are able to provide a variety of services that will help prevent problems, such as water leaks and foundation damage.
Lighting
The right lighting can make a big difference in your basement remodel. From recessed lighting to track lighting and more, there are many options that fit any style.
Whether you want to transform your basement into a guest bedroom, home office, or entertainment room, we can help! A finished basement can increase the value of your home and add a new level of living space.
We love using repurposed or replica farm and ranch parts to create unique basement lighting. For example, a galvanized milk-can pendant light reflects the western design palette of this Bunkhouse basement remodel. Replica rope pulleys and baling hooks are also used in this basement to add rustic charm and to contrast the sleek modern finishes. See more photos of this remodel HERE.
Insulation
Homeowners who choose to invest in a basement finish are creating living space that is a great place for their families to spend time together. Additionally, a finished basement can increase the value of your home.
Adding a family room, guest room, home office, and/or bathroom can provide extra space for everyone in your household to enjoy. A well-insulated basement can also improve your energy efficiency by reducing the amount of warm or cool air that escapes your home.
Finished basements that include bedrooms require a minimum of R-19 blanket insulation or vapor retarder in the frame cavities and drywall. A smoke alarm is required in any bedroom, and a carbon monoxide alarm may be installed where necessary. Egress is required in all basement bedrooms.
