No two basements are alike - they all have different layouts and obstacles like support beams, pipes, water heaters, and furnaces. When we finish your basement, we can add rooms, combine products, and even leave a section of the basement unfinished. We have a wide variety of design ideas for your basement. 

What’s on your wish list for a new finished basement? Every project is unique, and we want to make sure that we’re doing everything to make your dream basement a reality. Before our design consultant meets with you, have a few answers ready. The questions below will help guide the design process and also determine the cost of the project.

• Will new windows be installed?
• Will any appliances be installed?
• What electrical work is required?
• Will any new plumbing be required?

For the best value, choose the best remodeling products & contractor

When getting price estimates for basement finishing, it’s important to accurately compare what each contractor is offering. The lowest bids often go along with the lowest value. Here’s why: Contractors can keep prices down by using inexpensive materials to remodel your basement. Unfortunately, low-cost materials like wood studs, paper-faced drywall, plywood sheathing and fiberglass insulation don’t last long in a basement. Because they absorb moisture and contain organic materials, these off-the-shelf items are easily damaged by mold and rot, which makes your “new” basement smelly and unattractive. Tearing out and replacing moisture-damaged materials turns this “bargain” basement into the most expensive (and most aggravating) finishing option.

Here at Connecticut Basement Systems, we use high-performance materials designed to last under even the most challenging basement conditions. Instead of using organic, mold-friendly materials, all of our basement finishing products are inorganic and highly water resistant or waterproof. What’s more, the finished surfaces of our flooring, wall panels and molding are highly stain-resistant and never require painting, refinishing or other maintenance. Doing the job once and doing it right, with maintenance-free, high-quality materials; that’s always the best value.
