Buck Buckley's Total Basement Finishing Before & After Photos

In Wauwatosa, WI, a homeowner who bought their house 2 years ago and heard about Total Basement Finishing on the radio is looking to update their partially finished basement, which currently features a 1970s-style bar and wood paneling. With 714 sq ft of space, they plan to transform the back area into an open concept office/sleeping space for their son, without the need for egress. The renovation will include the installation of Vinyl Covered Everlast Insulated Perimeter Walls, 520 sq ft of ThermalDry Elite Plank Flooring in Grey, and a SaniDry Sedona system. No ceiling work is required for this project.

This 824-square-foot basement initially felt gloomy and dark due to the lack lighting and missing or damaged ceiling panels. The homeowners emphasized their desire for a design that offered easy access to ceiling panels while providing bright, effective lighting to illuminate the room. They also wanted the lighting to complement the existing wood paneling in their basement, enhancing the overall aesthetic and functionality of the space.

The homeowners have owned their home for 6 years and are seeking an estimate to finish their basement. The basement is currently unfinished, and they are interested in adding two rooms and a bathroom. The project entails creating an open concept space with a total area of 849 square feet, including two bedrooms and a full bath.
