Project Overview: The Jones family contacted HaminHomes to finish and renovate their unfinished basement. The basement space was only being used for storage and was not being utilized to its full potential. The Jones' wanted to transform the space into a comfortable guest suite and home gym.
Scope of Work:
Demolish and remove all existing concrete flooring, exposed insulation, and old wiring
Build new framed walls to create a separate guest bedroom, bathroom, and workout area
Install new electrical, plumbing, and HVAC runs to service the new basement layout
Lay high-quality vinyl plank flooring throughout the finished areas
Drywall and finish all walls, then paint in a warm, inviting color palette
Build a custom built-in murphy bed and wardrobe in the guest bedroom
Add recessed lighting, pendant lighting, and smart home automation
Timeline: The basement restoration took 10 weeks to complete. The Jones family was able to remain living in the home for the duration of the project, with minor inconveniences during the more intensive construction phases.
Results: The basement is now a beautiful, functional living space that the Jones family is thrilled with. The new guest suite allows them to comfortably host visiting friends and family. The home gym area has become a favorite spot for their daily workout routines. The finished basement has added an estimated $50,000 in value to their home.
