Trusted basement finishing tips from the experts

What you SHOULD do:

  • Double-check local building codes - As you know, different areas have a multitude of different building codes. It is important that you and your contractor discuss the particulars before any installation has begun. Although our contractors know exactly what to do in the area we serve, we want you to be aware of the stipulations as well.
  • Accentuate the positive areas of your basement - Your basement may not offer much natural light to let into the space, but perhaps the amount of floor space offers plenty of design potential. Our experts understand the do's and don'ts of basement finishing design and will help transform your basement into a space you want to spend time in.
  • Consider all design options - We have several basement finishing design ideas that can help your basement transform into a space you've always wanted. From home theaters to bars and extra living space, we can help create anything you have in mind.

What you SHOULDN'T do:

  • Overlook the smaller details - Specific elements of your basement should be discussed during your on-site consultation with one of our basement finishing specialists. We offer solutions for the key details, like light fixtures, ductwork, columns, joists, and all the trim work required in your finished basement.
  • Stress to figure out every aspect - Here at Sterling Home Solutions, we can give you an accurate depiction of what your basement will look like with our integrated software. However, after we finish the project, the little details are yours to decide. You can add custom furniture, pictures, posters, and other decorative elements without the fear that they will be ruined over time. All of our wall, ceiling, and flooring options are resistant to moisture, mold, and rot. They also have neutral appearances, allowing you to decorate how you please.
  • Question the investment - Your basement will significantly add to the value of your home. Whether you plan on selling your home or not, you now have a beautifully finished space that can be used for virtually anything. This added space can be extra living space or a room to store all your most valuable items.
