Is More Space Hiding in Plain Sight?
We often have customers who are not looking to add a whole new space beyond the footprint of their existing home, but perhaps reclaim existing space (such as an unused attic or basement) to create more living space. By doing this they can increase the livable square footage of the house, without encroaching on precious yard space, or running up against setback limitations. In situations like this, adding a dormer, finishing a basement or opening-up walls, can help to make a small area even larger.
Basement renovations and attic build-outs, however, can pose some unique challenges. Depending on the desired use of the space, there may be limitations under building code to consider when it comes to ceiling height, natural light and egress. Handling plumbing for bathrooms often requires special measures, too. Fortunately, we have solutions for these situations. Our team can make your basement into a great living space: a den, home theatre, playroom or office in your home. We work to ensure that any basement renovation will withstand the test of time, by controlling moisture and temperature so that it is warm in winter and cool in summer and dry all the time. Your new space will be versatile and sustainable.
A finished basement can help increase the resale value of your home, too, by increasing the number of bedrooms or finished square footage. It always holds appeal for buyers.
