A basement remodeling project can be a large undertaking. To ensure that you never have to go through the time-consuming, stressful experience again, you�ll need to use a basement finishing method that suits your unique needs. While traditional drywall was once the only option available, there are now a wide variety of products on the market that homeowners can use to finish their basements.
Some of these products feature removable walls, which can really come in handy. Hopefully you�ll never need to make electrical, plumbing, or foundation repairs, but in the event that you do, these products can make the repairs a little less of a hassle. If you choose a method that doesn�t have removable walls, you should be prepared to tear out and subsequently rebuild one or more of your basement�s walls to reach your foundation, wiring, or plumbing. Or, in a best case scenario, you may get away with cutting a hole in the wall that you can fill in once your repairs have been made.
Resistance to mold and mildew is another attractive feature provided by many of the newer basement remodeling products. In the past, basements were almost always musty spaces thanks to the fact that they received very little (if any) natural light. Because they�re underground, basements are also often damp, humid spaces. Unfortunately, mold thrives in dark, damp spaces, which is exactly why many basements are infested with these smelly, potentially dangerous fungi. Some of the new finishing methods are made from breathable, inorganic materials that don�t support the growth of mold or mildew. You should keep in mind, though, that these methods can only prevent mold from growing and won�t resolve an existing mold issues.
Depending on where you live, you may also want to make sure that your basement finishing method of choice has built-in insulation. Even when outside temperatures are relatively comfortable, the basement can be a downright chilly space. If you live in a colder climate and plan to use your basement year round, then you�ll want to choose a method that provides ample insulation. The last thing you�ll want to do is invest in a basement remodel that can only be used a few months out of the year.
You should also make sure that you choose a basement remodeling method that is compatible with how you plan to use your basement once it�s finished. For instance, if you�re transforming the space into a home gym, then protection against mold and mildew is especially important (think about all the extra moisture that will be introduced into the space in the form of sweat� ick!). If you�re creating a spare bedroom, mother-in-law suite, private office, or other type of space that requires year-round use, then you�ll definitely need to think about insulation.
If you need help choosing the ideal basement remodeling method for your project, consult a local basement contractor. He or she should be able to evaluate your practical needs, aesthetic preferences, and budgetary requirements to help you choose the best basement remodeling method for you and your family.
