Transforming a Basement in Pittsfield, MA

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!
