Tackling a basement remodel is a daunting task for many homeowners. Because this project is often left out of sight and out of mind, it can be put off for years. But when the time comes to finally tackle this area, having a clear plan in mind can make your remodel flow smoothly.
These steps from industry experts will guide you from start to finish.
To begin this process you will have your rough in phase. This will include all demolition to create a blank slate. It will also include installing the subfloor. Once that is complete, you could build walls on top of this foundation. From there, move on to plumbing, electrical, and mechanical concerns, such as the plumbing needed for laundry or a bathroom. You’ll need insulation to manage temperature and for soundproofing to reduce noise bleeding up from your basement. The second major phase is to handle drywall. The drywall needs to completely dry in between each step, which can be difficult in a basement. The final step is the finishing stage. This is where you can add more superficial elements, such as painting or decorative trim, to create a warm and welcoming environment you can enjoy for years to come.
