A basement remodeling project might be all it takes for you to finally have the privacy and peace and quiet you need to take care of business. If your spouse is constantly interrupting your efforts to catch up on your TPS reports, you can�t pay a single bill without your kids asking for a snack, or you�re simply too tempted to veg on the couch and watch reality television, you might want to create your own personal office. What better way to do so than by making use of the wasted space in your basement?
Choosing a Finishing Method for Your Remodel
In the past, homeowners with finished basements had a lot to worry about. Between the constant struggle to combat mold and mildew (not to mention the stench!) and the inability to keep the basement at a comfortable temperature during the chilly winter months, having a finished basement was sometimes a major pain. And, perhaps worse than anything, these issues often kept homeowners from using their basements. This often meant that the individuals who had transformed their basements into home offices sometimes had nowhere to work.
Now, however, there are a number of innovative basement remodeling methods and products that specifically address the problems homeowners have traditionally faced in their finished basements. Unlike traditional methods that utilize paper-backed drywall that provides a food source for mold, some of these products are made from breathable, inorganic materials that don�t support the growth of mold. This can be especially important since most basements are dark and damp, providing the ideal breeding ground for this icky fungus.
In addition to protecting against mold and mildew, some of these products have built-in thermal insulation. If you�ve ever entered your unfinished basement during the chilly winter months, then you know how important this feature can be. Imagine investing thousands of dollars and countless hours into your basement remodel, only to discover that your basement is sometimes just too cold to use. Rather than let this happen, be sure to finish your basement using a method that provides thermal insulation. That way, you�ll be able to use your new home office year round, without having to wear a coat, scarf, hat, and mittens just to pay a few bills or respond to some emails.
Some methods also allow you to easily access your home�s foundation because they have removable walls. Homeowners who finish their basements using traditional materials like drywall sometimes have to undo all their hard work just to make a simple home repair. The newer methods, however, allow you to access concrete pillars, pipes, and wires in a matter of minutes just by sliding a wall or two out of place. Once the repair is made, you can simply put the walls back in place and go back to using your basement-turned-office as you had intended.
If you want to transform your basement into a home office without worrying about making home repairs, fighting mold and mildew, and withstanding near-freezing temperatures, contact your local basement remodeling contractor. He or she can help you choose the best basement finishing product for your unique needs.
