Trusted Basement Finishing Company Serving Greendale, WI

Jim S. a homeowner in Greendale, WI, had an unfinished basement that he wanted to transform into a functional living space. Since purchasing the home in 2014, Jim and his family had occasionally experienced minor water issues in the basement, although they were not a consistent problem. Despite these concerns, Jim envisioned turning the basement into a recreation area, exercise room, and home office.

Initially, Jim considered adding a full bath to the basement. However, he decided instead to focus on maximizing the existing space and converting a half bath on the main floor into a full bath. The primary goal was to create a comfortable and practical environment for his family while addressing the basement's occasional water issues.

Our team approached the project by first addressing the moisture problem to ensure a dry and comfortable basement. We installed a Sanidry system to control humidity and prevent future water damage. To enhance the basement's aesthetics and functionality, we incorporated a painted ceiling and ThermalDry Elite Plank Flooring in Walnut, covering two-thirds of the 629-square-foot area. Additionally, recessed can lights were installed to provide ample lighting throughout the space.

By transforming the basement into a versatile area that includes a recreation space, an exercise room, and a home office, we were able to meet Jim's needs without the addition of a new bathroom. The updated basement now serves as a beautiful, functional space that combines practicality and style, allowing Jim and his family to enjoy their home to the fullest.

In collaboration with Todd, who has called their home for 22 years, the vision is set to bring a new dimension to their residence. Discovered online, the unfinished basement is poised for a meaningful upgrade, catering to the desire for a comfortable living space with the addition of a convenient half bath.

The project scope involves the creation of a 165 sq. ft. open concept area, thoughtfully designed to encompass both functionality and aesthetics. This space will not only host a much-needed half bath but will also provide a versatile living area. The flooring will feature our premium floor offering, while a linen ceiling adds a touch of sophistication and warmth to the overall ambiance.

The result will be a transformed basement—a cozy retreat designed for comfort and practicality, reflecting the homeowner's vision for a stylish and purposeful living space.

Wanting to refinish the basement to have a comfy cozy space for reading and TV was what they were looking to do.  In this room, however, was the access panel to the automatic timer.  It was not something they could cover up and the existing box would have been an eyesore, but Bob came to the rescue and created a hidden access panel.  They couldn't have been more excited with the outcome.
