How to Redo Your Basement?

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. You must lay a renovation plan. In this, record detailed measurements of the whole region, decide on the scope with a list of rooms and elements, and inspect the basement for any foundational damage. Lastly, create drawings and spec sheets for the renovation.

2. Moving to the actual renovation, clear out everything from the basement. Demolish and get rid of every structure that isn’t going to remain in the remodel. 

3. Waterproof the basement and frame the new walls.

4. After this, install the rough-in stages of the mechanicals. Do the HVAC, plumbing and electrical work in the written order.

5. Next comes installing the insulation and vapor barriers. 

6. Make sure that all the applicable rough-in and insulation inspectors are installed well. 

7. Complete the walls and ceilings with drywall and paint. Install the final mechanical equipment and fixtures.

8. Lay the flooring and install the finished trim work. 

9. Get the basement inspection done. 

10. You can then doctorate your basement as per your liking.

So, these are all the steps you need to take. I hope you now know how to remodel your basement.

Do You Need a Permit to Finish a basement Construction?

There’s a lot that goes underground. Since you have a basement I am sure you must be aware that a basement if not maintained and re constructed on a regular intervals can invite nightmarish things. I say this from a lot of experience considering what we faced in Kurseong. We have a property that comes with a basement and it wasn’t maintained for years. It turned into a den of reptiles and all creepy creatures. When we found out, we decided on basement remodeling. I can share a few things from our experience to help you out.

• Waterproofing is must for walls and ceiling of the basement

• Have a good lighting arrangement. Keep provision for windows and natural sources of light along with installation of drop ceiling lights and other choices

• If it remains cold and damp in your basement, I would recommend avoiding too much wood work. Instead go for rust and moisture free material to build storage space

Let’s address the elephant in the room now, shall we?

To remodel a basement, you will have to perform the following steps:

• Clear out everything in your basement

• Do a moisture test and check for all the electrical connections 

• Go by the local authorizations and permissions before making any plans and changes to avoid conflict later on

• Call in professionals to help you out with design and start with the work

• You’ll need a fresh painting job too

• Once done, you can get pest control done to ensure no pests make their way into your basement.

This is pretty much what we did. I hope you find this helpful enough.
