Looking to add livable space to your home? Consider your basement and these ideas!

1. Add a Bedroom with an Egress Window 🛏️
Transform your basement into a functional sleeping area by adding a bedroom with an egress window. Not only does this add extra space for guests or family, but it also meets safety requirements by providing an emergency exit. Plus, it can increase your home’s resale value!

2. Create a Home Theater with Soundproofing 🎬
Turn your basement into a cozy home theater by installing soundproofing and comfortable seating. This space can be your go-to spot for family movie nights, gaming, or streaming your favorite shows without disturbing the rest of the house.

3. Install a Small Kitchenette or Bar Area🍻
For the ultimate entertainment hub, consider adding a kitchenette or bar area. Perfect for hosting parties or creating a snack station for family movie marathons, this addition brings both functionality and fun to your finished basement.

Live in the Buffalo, New York area and ready to tackle your basement renovation? We offer complimentary estimates.

While it's been warmer than normal around here, it's worth talking about prepping for Winter. We all know how New York winters can be. And with the recent weather in the south - you truly never know how Mother Nature can be.

Here are some practical tips for prepping your home for the winter months to keep it cozy, energy-efficient, and safe.

Seal Windows & Doors
👉🏽 Check for drafts around windows and doors and use weatherstripping or caulk to seal any gaps. This helps prevent cold air from entering and warm air from escaping, improving energy efficiency.

Inspect & Clean Gutters
👉🏽Clear leaves and debris from gutters and downspouts to prevent water from freezing and causing damage. Clogged gutters can lead to ice dams, which can damage your roof and lead to leaks.

Service Your Furnace
👉🏽Schedule a professional inspection for your furnace to ensure it's working efficiently. Replace air filters and consider upgrading to a programmable thermostat to manage heating costs.

Chimney & Fireplace Maintenance
👉🏽Clean your chimney and have it inspected to ensure it’s free of blockages. If you use a fireplace, stock up on firewood and check that the damper works properly to avoid heat loss.

Trim Overhanging Branches
👉🏽Trim tree branches near your home to prevent them from breaking under the weight of snow or ice and damaging your roof or power lines.

Winterize Outdoor Faucets & Hoses
👉🏽Disconnect garden hoses and turn off the water supply to outdoor faucets. Drain any water left in the pipes to prevent freezing and bursting.

Prepare for Snow Removal
👉🏽Get your snowblower serviced and stock up on fuel. If you don’t have a snowblower, make sure your shovel is in good condition and accessible.

Why would you add crown molding to your basement? Here are 5 reasons!

1. Elevates the aesthetic: Crown molding adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the room, making the basement feel more like an extension of the main living area rather than just a storage or utility space.

2. Finishes the look: It helps create a polished, finished look by providing a smooth transition between the walls and the ceiling, hiding any imperfections or gaps.

3. Increases perceived ceiling height: Crown molding can create an optical illusion, making low basement ceilings feel taller, which helps the space feel larger and more open.

4. Adds architectural interest: Basements often have plain or boxy designs. Crown molding introduces an architectural detail that adds depth and interest, transforming an otherwise simple room.

5. Boosts resale value: Buyers appreciate attention to detail, and crown molding can make your basement renovation stand out, potentially increasing the value of the home.

Let's talk customization. No two spaces—or people—are the same. That’s why a cookie-cutter approach just doesn’t cut it. ✨

Your home has its own personality, and your needs are unlike anyone else’s. Having a team that *gets that* is the real gift in a renovation. We are able to design custom shelves and cabinets that fit your lifestyle and make the most of your unique space.

A perfect example is this custom built shelf for a client's nail salon. It fit's the wall, product, and room in a way that makes sense. (Both for her and the space!)

When transforming a space - consider sliding doors. (Weird, I know, but hear us out)

Unlike traditional hinged doors, sliding barn doors don't require swing space, making them ideal for basements where space can be limited.

They provide wider entryways when opened fully, making it easier to move furniture or equipment in and out of the basement. (Or all those totes of holiday decor)

Light and airflow control: In some cases, barn doors can help in allowing light and air to flow between rooms while maintaining separation when needed.

Custom built shelves create a tailored, polished, and efficiency to your space.

This nail salon renovation included a full basement rehab, complete with a bathroom, sitting area, and the salon space. From the custom shelves to backsplash to custom made floating shelves - we really took our time here!
