Basement Finishing Before & After Photos

This Northampton, MA homeowner reached out to Fogarty's Home Services to update their basement from a bare and uninviting space into a beautiful, comfortable living space. We provided an excellent solution to the our homeowner. This previously uninsulated, neglected space and turned it into a a more energy efficient area of the home that can be fully furnished and used to exponentially increase the living area in the home without adding an addition. Not only did we finish our homeowner's basement to their desired results, but we also delivered a beautiful finished product that they can be proud to show off for years to come. This space went "From Basement to Beautiful"! 

This homeowner in Northampton, MA reached out to us hoping that we would be able to help her finish her basement. She wanted to finish her basement to accommodate her family and add more living space.

Fogarty's Home Services was up to the task! We first demolished and removed what was in the basement -- including removing the old insulation. We then re-insulated the basement. We built out the framing, installed the electrical and plumbing, and then added our Everlast™ wall panels. We finished the stairs as well. We then installed our ThermalDry™ elite plank flooring in the color "espresso", our darkest color. We replaced the old basement windows with brand new ones that were much more energy efficient. We added a drop ceiling and ceiling lights. We then installed a SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier, put on the finishing touches, and we were done! Now, this homeowner is so excited to have a beautiful new basement!  

When this homeowner in West Springfield, MA called us, it was in regards to a special request. She wanted to make a home movie theater in the basement for her husband. Of course, Fogarty's Home Services was up to the task. 

When we arrived, we were met with a semi-finished basement. In the area that they wanted to put the home theater, all you can really see were the bare concrete floors, gray walls, and a projector screen.

Luckily, our team was able to put in modular, ThermalDry™ plank flooring. In order to keep this as dark as possible, they chose the darkest possible color -- espresso. The flooring is waterproof and easy to clean, meaning that if someone spills soda, it will be okay. We also were able to install black linen drop ceiling tiles to complete the look.

This is no longer a bare, cold room -- it has turned into a theater that their family will be able to utilize for decades, and is something that will add value to their home. 

This homeowner in Springfield, MA reached out to us about installing a basement drop ceiling. She had a mostly finished basement, however, she wanted drop ceiling tiles to complete the look.

To install a drop ceiling, we had to first figure out what the grid needed to be for the framing. Once that was set, we install the wall molding and metal framing. Then, we install the ceiling tiles. Our basement drop ceiling tiles are 2' x 2' x 3/4"-thick. They are water resistant and are created from inorganic minteral fibers. Now, this homeowner has a beautiful new drop ceiling in her finished basement! 

This homeowner in Glastonbury, CT called us hoping that we would be able to help him with his home. He wanted to insulate his basement walls, as well as his attic. When our Home Comfort Specialist came out to the home, he asked the homeowners what else they were having problems with in her home. One of the items mentioned by the family was that they had wooden support pillars in the basement that needed to be replaced. 

We were able to help this customer! We utilized our SmartJack™ floor supports. SmartJack™ systems are able to level and stabilize existing beams and floor joists. We removed some of the wooden pillars and added our SmartJack™ supports. Now, the homeowner is very happy!
