Basement Remodel

A basement remodel is an easy way to add space to your existing home without loosing part of your yard or cutting into your garden.  Basement remodels are generally less expensive than an addition and can be completed faster because much of the structural requirements are already in place.

The Dream – Family Room? Exercise Room? Home Theater? Guest Room?

Basement spaces can be very flexible. Properly managed, you can create several spaces for different uses such as a theater room, game room or entertainment area. The key is to think about what your family will look like in the next 5-10 years. Do you have small children who will grow into teenagers over the next few years? Designing a playroom that migrates to a game and entertainment center should be in your plans. Do you have elderly parents who may need additional support in the next few years? Think about a guest / bath combination where they can have their privacy while being close to you.

It’s possible to create multiple spaces through colors and textures without giving up flexibility that open space provides. Home theater systems are now bringing family and friends together in a more comfortable environment.  Exercise areas are now being made a part of the indoor / outdoor space where the exercise area and the hot tub share a common space separated by a glass wall.

Outdoor kitchens are now extending the entertainment area to the outdoors. More than a glorified barbeque, outdoor kitchens include fireplaces, flats screen TV’s and group seating.  These bring the indoors outdoors by extending indoor space in new ways. Double French doors can bring the outdoors inside while keeping the climate outside.

The key to a successful Basement Remodel is to understand how your lifestyle will change over the next few years and to develop a design which adapts to those changes over time.

Design - Do You Click?

How do you bring dreams to reality? It's important to find someone who can take your dreams, understand who you are, and deal with all of the details without overwhelming you with them.

There are several considerations when remodeling a basement.  The first is dealing with the water which wicks through the cement walls and floor. Even a dry basement will transfer up to 15 gallons of water a day through the porous cement floor and water proofed walls. Trapping this transfer of moisture behind walls or under flooring, without proper preparation is a recipe for mold and mildew – That musty basement smell.

In addition to a technical expert, you need someone you can connect with. Someone you can trust, who's genuinely excited about your project and respects your opinion. This is your home and your money - the process must run smoothly and respect the fact you are living in this space. Other areas of the home must be protected. AC Remodel is just the kind of company you’re looking for.

At the end of the design phase you will have a firm price with defined deliverables and a set schedule.  No unknowns - no surprises - just the anticipation of enjoying your new space.
