Finishing a Lake Home Basement in Emily, Minnesota
Challenge
When new homes are built or additions are created on homes it is not uncommon that the homeowner will leave the basement of that new space unfinished. This gives the homeowner ample storage space and a project that they can pick up in the future when time and/or budget allow. That is not unlike the situation we came across in Emily, MN. The homeowner had added on to their lake home and had left the basement space unfinished in the process. After a few years they wanted to finally be able to make use of the space for more than storage, so they searched the internet and found our "Basement to Beautiful" basement finishing system. Knowing that the services DBS Residential Solutions provides were exactly what they were looking for, the homeowners called to schedule a free estimate to learn more.
Solution
Our Basement Finishing specialist Henrik visited with the homeowner to hear about his vision for the space and help explain how our basement finishing products work so well in basement conditions. In this situation, the customer's basement didn't have leaks or major moisture problems, but they didn't want to have to tear out their finished basement if they were to develop water issues in their basement so they understood the necessity to have Total Basement Finishing patented products installed in their basement. The main products used to finish this basement space included: Everlast Wall Panels, ThermalDry carpeting, and TBF Ceiling Tiles. Each of the products we offer has special qualities that make them ideal candidates to be installed in basements. The ceiling tiles have a 30-year limited no-sag warranty and the TBF carpeting & Everlast wall panels are resistant to mold and mildew even in the event of a flood.
In the end, we provided this customer with a newly finished space which adds approximately 500 square feet of finished space to the home. This increases the value of the home quite substantially, but more importantly to the homeowner it gives them space to entertain family and friends and in this case it gives them the room they need to enjoy their model train hobby. They now have the room they needed to have their model railroad set up year round without the need to move it.
No matter the reason for wanting to fix and finish your basement we would love to help you accomplish your vision and remove any concerns for what would happen to the basement in the event of a flood. Give us a call if you're interested in getting an estimate on finishing your basement or if you'd like to hear more about what our other customers have done with their newly finished spaces!
