Matrix Basements Blog: December 2016

The basement doesn’t always have to be an extension of the upstairs. This is your time to really shine and be creative. Let us help you design and build an amazing space that will serve you well for years to come.

Finishing your basement is a good idea. No, it’s a great idea! The excitement for basement remodels is not lost easily, because the sky is the limit in terms of design. Instead of looking at this area as dark, musky, and humid, consider changing it. You have a blank canvas to change things up.

Everyone knows that finishing the basement adds functional square footage to the home. It’s what you do with that square footage that will set your basement apart from all others you’ve previously seen.

The basement of a home can easily be a point of contention for homeowners. If it’s not finished, it’s a dark, gloomy area. But it doesn’t have to be that way. You can finish it, and create a luminous area that’s perfect for a home office, home gym, entertainment area, or whatever you need.

Every day, everywhere you can imagine, there are parents, teenagers, and grown men and women at odds with their neighbors, each other, and anyone who doesn’t appreciate the sounds that they are producing from the other side of the wall.

Many homes across America have unfinished basements. They’re simple, a bit dark in areas, and often used as a storage unit or a laundry room where nothing big really happens. Your unfinished basement probably serves a purpose, which is fine.

When discussing raw materials most people aren’t aware of the changes that have come to the construction world in recent years. People automatically assume that there aren’t a lot of options that you can really make use of effectively. That’s not always the case.

The best thing to do if you’re planning to remodel your home or finish the basement is to go online and take a look at many before and after pictures of people’s homes. You’ll see that there are amazing transformations in many cases.

Planning your basement lighting plays a big role in your comfort and your ability to move around safely and comfortably in your home. From time to time, you may have looked at your living space and realized that you need to make a change.

There are various ways to add to your comfort level in your home. This is especially important if you spend a lot of time there, as is the case with anyone who uses a home office. Incorporating smart home features is one way to bring your home into the modern era.
