Basement Overhaul - Project Kick Off

We're continuing our 2024 project kick-off posts with our second basement remodel. Check out all the details and see how no two basements are alike!


The space: Full basement remodel


The why: In all honesty, one look at this basement, and you'll see why this basement is getting a full head-to-toe remodel this year. This homeowner spends much of their time upstairs in this rambler and has already made significant improvements to that space, including a kitchen and bathroom remodel. They are now ready to tackle the lower level and move it from a space that has primarily been used for storage and laundry into a usable and enjoyable living area.


Here, our goals are less about moving walls and reconfiguring the space and more about making the existing footprint look and feel great. To do this, we need to install all new flooring, put up drywall where flimsy paneling exists, replace all the lighting, adjust the shower sizing, lay lots of tile in the bathroom, and adjust the laundry and storage.


It's hard to see it now, but this space will be amazing when it's done!


The punch list:

  • New LVP flooring throughout

  • Drywall on all existing walls (cover cinder blocks, replace paneling)

  • Remove fireplace

  • Pull out the bedroom wall to add a walk-in closet

  • Egress windows in the bedroom

  • Replace all light fixtures

  • Reconfigure the shower size

  • Add tile to the bathroom floor and shower

  • Add cabinets to the laundry room

  • Add open and closed storage in the utility room

  • Furnish to completion (including family room and guest room furniture)


Project Kick-off: January 2024

Projected Project completion: September 2024
