I love the idea of remodeling one’s basement, and it can be a great way to get a fresh start in life. However, the truth is that you should never plan your basement to be a place for storing your stuff. A well-designed basement can be a place for living, for entertaining, and even for sleeping. It’s the perfect place to store or display your prized treasures, like a collection of rare antiques or photos of family and friends.
So here’s the thing. You can make your basement a place where you can store the things you love and appreciate. However, you must always be honest with yourself about what you store there. You can get a lot of happiness out of organizing your basement, but you must be honest with yourself what you store there, and take the time to figure out if you should be keeping valuable items where they are or if you can just move them into other rooms.
I’m going to say it again. If you’re not using your basement as storage, you’re wasting money. If you’re storing your valuable things in your basement, you’re wasting money. In my experience, I’ve heard of more basement remodeling projects than I’ve ever been asked to witness. I’ve even seen the reverse of this, where a homeowner is having a basement remodel done on their own without too much trouble.
This is what I meant. Ive been around long enough to remember when basement remodeling was a thing. Back when we started working with the DIY movement, we would often have to hire people to come over and change our basements. We would be stuck with an unsightly mess, and we would most definitely have to keep our valuable belongings where they are.
However, we have yet to see this level of DIY efficiency, and I’m not even talking about the cost. Here in Elmhurst, we see a basement remodel done with a professional crew and a little bit of elbow grease. The only thing that has changed is that the new owner is going to be hiring a handyman.
It’s not often that a basement remodel is completed without the help of a handyman, but the basement remodeling team at Builders House of Elmhurst has been doing this for years. Their remodeled basement is one of the most unique and aesthetically pleasing houses we have seen in the city. And they have been doing it in a way that seems to have the least amount of stress on their part.
The basement remodeling team at Builders House of Elmhurst is doing a renovation of their basement, which is in a very unique location. The basement is in a former industrial building that’s now a restaurant and bar. It’s a bit of a pain to get there, because it’s a residential neighborhood, but the team has been doing it for years and it’s always a very unique experience.
The basement is about a third of a story underground. The rest is a concrete slab, so it’s easy to cut through. The team has to deal with the sewer, electricity, and the water, but they seem to get along fairly well. And they’re using a lot of the same tools they used when they worked in the basement of a similar building a few years back. The team also has a lot more experience with concrete.
The team also uses the same mix of materials they used in their basement, but they have an abundance of knowledge about concrete as well as a vast knowledge of the history of the area. And they still find ways to make the room feel homey. The team has even constructed a special room that the owners have access to for special occasions.
It’s not what they use, it’s what they have. That’s always something that really appeals to us in a remodeling project. When we come to a new house, we are attracted to a lot of things about it that the previous owners did not have. You don’t just come in and look for an oversized wall fan or you don’t just put a giant TV above the dining room table and just leave it there, you want to make the space feel different.
