A basement finishing project could give you peace of mind that your children are safe and sound. How in the world is this possible? If you transform your dark, unfinished basement into the ultimate playroom, you may not ever have to worry about your children�s whereabouts. With plenty of room for playing games and hanging out with friends, your newly remodeled basement will be the new neighborhood hangout.

Choosing a Basement Finishing Method

To make sure your kids make maximum use of their new playroom, you�ll want to take measures to choose the right basement finishing method. This can make all the difference in whether your basement is too cold in the winter and whether it develops a nasty stench a few months down the road. Unlike drywall � which, at one time, was the only basement remodeling technique available � today�s finishing methods are designed specifically for basement environments.

For instance, some of them have built-in protection against mold and mildew (which is usually the culprit of a basement�s stinky odor). Most basements are dark, damp spaces, which is the ideal environment for mold growth. And, because mold spores feed on organic materials like the paper backing on drywall, the icky and potentially dangerous fungus can really thrive in basements that have been finished using traditional methods. Some of the new basement renovation products on the market are made from inorganic materials so as to deprive mold of its food source and, therefore, prevent its growth. Of course, if you have an existing mold problem in your basement, then a mold-resistant product won�t do much good. If your basement is currently mold free, though, then some of the newer basement finishing products could give you peace of mind that your kids� playroom won�t become infested with mold.

Some other basement finishing products are specially engineered for colder climates and aim to keep the basement at a comfortable temperature year round. In the old days, many homeowners were only able to use their basements three seasons out of the year; their basements were sometimes too cold to even enter during the winter. Your kids shouldn�t have to wear their coats, gloves, and earmuffs in their basement playroom, right? That�s why you should make sure that you use a basement remodeling product that�s ideal for your geographic location.

Finding a Basement Remodeling Contractor

Choosing the ideal finishing method for your basement remodel can prove daunting. There are so many factors to consider, and many homeowners end up feeling overwhelmed with all the choices available. If you need help choosing a basement finishing method, reach out to your local basement remodeling contractor. He or she can evaluate your basement space and your home�s structure and then find a method that complements your family�s unique needs.

Before hiring any contractor, ask your friends, family members, and neighbors if they�ve had any experiences with the company. If they haven�t, then search the internet and check out the company�s reviews on the Better Business Bureau�s website. Hopefully you can find a contractor with an outstanding reputation who can help you create the finished basement of your dreams.
