Basement Finishing Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Pittsfield, MA had old, leaky basement windows. Single pane glass windows with metal frames let lots of cold air leak into your home.

We removed those old windows and replaced them with our high efficiency double pane glass windows which let in light while still blocking most of the heat flow.

Thanks to Dr Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this homeowner now has beautiful basement windows to keep the home comfortable whether it's hot or cold.

Our Pittsfield, MA customer contacted Fogarty's Home Services with concerns in her basement. One issue was her basement windows. They were leaky, inefficient, and unsightly. We were pleased to offer her a solution that would fix all of those problems, as part of the Total basement Finishing project. Fogarty's Home Services happily removed the old windows and installed Everlast™ High Efficiency Vinyl Window Inserts. With these new windows, our happy customer has a more comfortable temperature in her basement and in the home above. There are less drafts and less air leakage in the home overall. Lastly, she will be saving money every month on her energy bills. "We Fix Uncomfortable Homes!"

This homeowner called us for an estimate on finishing their garage. They decided to move forward with our Total Basement Finishing services. So, we design the layout with the homeowner, and got started.

To start this project, we removed all of the sheet rock, paint, and fiberglass from this garage. Now, we are ready for our installation! We take our patented, non organic material and customize it to fit the size of this garage. This non-organic material is waterproof, and will never rot or mold like wood could! We install our Everlast wall panels with insulation boards on the inside, on to the wall and we are all set!

This homeowner in Pittsfield, MA called us hoping that we would be able to help him finish his basement. His dream for the space was a basement with a home gym, a play room for his children, and potential work from home office space. 

This was a multi-step process. We first had to remove the old fiberglass insulation from the rim joist. (The rim joist is the perimeter of the floor framing system along the exterior of the house). Then, we re-insulated using two-part spray foam. We also applied Foamax foam insulation board to the walls of the basement, providing more insulation. We also installed two sump pumps in different areas of the basement, as well as implementing other solutions, such as encapsulating the crawl space accessible from part of the basement.

After that, it was time to finish the basement! We started by identifying with the homeowner their ideal floor plan, and working to bring their vision to life. We first had to build out the rooms using steel framing. After that, we worked with a licensed & insured electrician to install wiring in the basement, including what would become the outlets. We then installed our EverLast™ wall panels. We then installed flooring, drop ceiling tiles, doors, and pillars, in addition to building a new staircase.

Now, this homeowner has a beautiful new basement!
