Useful Tips for Your Basement Remodeling Project

Remodeling your basement could be one of the best home renovation decisions you make, especially if you’re looking to maximize every square foot of your home. DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Reno shares a few tips that can help your basement remodel proceed smoothly.

Eliminate Excess Moisture

Moisture is one of the top enemies of any basement space. If there’s water pooling on the basement floor, your contractor must address the issue before proceeding. Minor moisture issues can easily be remedied with specially formulated water-locking paint.

If your basement is prone to flooding, you may want to hold off until you consult with a contractor about installing a drainage system or making other modifications that will keep your basement dry. If not, you may want to consider a home addition instead of a basement renovation.

Cooling, Heating & Ventilation

While it’s exciting to move forward with design plans, it’s equally important that you pay attention to the practical details such as how cooling, heating, ventilation and general air circulation needs will be met in your basement.

Consider Electrical Codes

You’ll have to comply with electrical codes, regardless of your design preferences. Make sure that your basement remodeling company includes the required number of electrical outlets.

Prioritize Lighting

Basements are notorious for being dark and gloomy, but this doesn’t have to be the case for your basement. You can always count on well-planned recessed lighting to turn your basement into a welcoming space.
