BASEMENT REMODELING
Are you constantly looking for extra space in a home that feels like it’s overflowing with people and stuff? Or maybe you’re thinking of selling your home in the near future, and want to increase its property value. If you have an unfinished basement, the answer to both those problems is right below your feet.
Professional remodeling services provided by a skilled Edgewater handyman can transform your basement into the best part of your house, and give you ample room. If your basement is already finished but is not suited to your needs, we can transform it into your ideal space.
If it’s unfinished, we can provide flooring and drywall installation services to turn your basement into a comfortable, inviting, and appealing area. Then comes the best part—planning a layout that will incorporate the features you really want, and need, to improve your living space. Not sure what to include in your basement remodel? Here are a few ideas:
- Additional bedrooms for guests or children who don't want to share a room upstairs
- A new bathroom, which will have a big impact on your property’s resale value and make the downstairs area more comfortable
- A fun rec room with a game table or billiards table
- A wine cellar and tasting room with a bar
- An office for working from home
- Studios for art, crafts, hobbies, or dance
- A gym so you can workout at home
- A children's playroom to keep toy clutter contained
- A home theater for family movie nights
- A laundry room to make cleaning and sorting clothes easier
Can You Install Hardwood Floors in a Basement?
Solid hardwood planks are not the best choice for a basement in Edgewater, because they are susceptible to warping when damp, and Edgewater is on the Bay, so basements there often have moisture issues. But if you love the look of natural hardwood, luxury vinyl tile (LVT) is an excellent option. This flooring material is made out of PVC but mimics the appearance of real wood. Because of its unique construction, LVT wears well in humid environments and won’t get damaged easily. Other popular flooring choices for basements include ceramic tile or laminate.
EDGEWATER TILE INSTALLATION
You probably already have tile in your home, whether it’s on your floors, walls, or both. Tile has many attractive qualities: It's durable, long-lasting, and comes in a vast array of colors, shapes, sizes, patterns, textures, and materials. That means installing new tiles is the perfect way to put your own personality and sense of style into your home. Or, if you’re thinking of selling in the near future, choose a classic, neutral look that will increase your property value.
Choosing the right tile material from among the many options can feel overwhelming at first, but there are a few key factors that will help narrow it down. Consider the tile’s location in your home, and what your top priorities are. For example, glass tile is too delicate for the floor, but it adds depth and interest when used in a kitchen backsplash.
Another consideration is how much maintenance you’re willing to do. A natural stone tile such as slate is absolutely beautiful and can serve as a conversation piece, but it does need to be carefully maintained and sealed regularly to upkeep its appearance. Ceramic or porcelain tile might not be quite as eye-catching, but they come in a huge variety of styles, are extremely durable, and are virtually maintenance-free. Of course, if you need help selecting the right type of tile, our experienced handyman team would be happy to offer expert advice. We know all about tile installation and tile repair.
Our Team Can Install a Range of Tiles:
- Natural stones such as slate, marble, & travertine
- Porcelain & ceramic
- Quarry
- Mosaic
- Glass
What's the Difference Between Caulk and Grout?
Basically, grout is a cement-like mixture that bonds tile to the backer board and fills the gaps between tiles, while the caulk is a semi-flexible, waterproof polymer that is used to seal edges where tile meets another surface such as drywall (among many other purposes). Caulk is also sometimes used in corners where two tiled surfaces meet. All buildings shift and settle over time, and the more flexible caulk provides "wiggle room" in 90-degree joints to accommodate settling.
