This Stratford, CT homeowner used to have a basement with unfinished walls and floors, making for a cold and uncomfortable basement environment. As a result, the homeowner rarely used his basement, and wanted to finish it so that it could be used as additional living space. After seeing one of our advertisements online, he reached out to the experts at Total Basement Finishing to find a solution.
Before long, Sales Representative Matt Kraus traveled to the home to assess the basement. After taking a look around, Matt was able to come up with some potential finishing solutions, so he shared his findings with the homeowner, and they decided to moce forward with the project.
On the first day of production, Finishing Foreman Roberto DeMacedo arrived at the home to begin his work. He started by installing ThermalDry floors throughout the basement, which are waterproof and come with a buil-in thermal break that keeps floors up to ten degrees warmer than the cold concrete below. Then, he added EverLast walls, which are more durable than traditional drywall, and come with built in rigid foam insulation to help keep the basement warm and energy efficient. The EverLast also helped to finish the basement stairway, which really gave the basement a full, finished look.
By the time Roberto's work was done, the homeowner could hardly recognize his basement. He was startled by how much warmer and brighter his basement had become, and could not wait to enjoy this added living space for years to come.
