Total Basement Transformation in Okemos

Friday, January 10th, 2014 by Jared McCarthy

Challenge

Kumar decided that this was going to be the year he turned his basement into a clean, comfortable living space that his entire family can use. Previously being used for storing items, Kumar’s basement developed cracks along two walls that need to be filled. His complete basement transformation will take place over five days and, at the end of the project, the finished basement will add an entire floor for the family to enjoy.

Solution

Fixing the cracks in the two walls was the first priority before the basement finishing process began. FlexiSpan crack repair system was used to fill them and eliminate the problem.

To finish the basement, work began to install Basement to Beautiful panels that will create a bright and inviting look around the area. Thermal dry carpet and linen ceiling tiles were then installed to further create a warm look to the previously dark basement.

Lastly, our crew replaced a deteriorating glass block window that was allowing outside air to come into the basement.

Basements do not have to be dark and dreary places. Properly protecting below-grade areas from the outside elements will enable homeowners to convert them into great living areas that everyone can enjoy.
