Basement Finishing Before & After Photos

Before, the window well on the side of this home was an eyesore for these Trumbull, CT homeowners. The flimsy plastic cover had bent and warped over time, letting in a mess of water, leaves, and weeds. This caused the metal window well to grow dirty and rusty, and reduced the amount of natural light that could enter the basement.

Now, the window well sits subtly on the side of the house, free of dirt, mud and other debris. To transform this aspect of the home, our skilled foreman, Marcial Lopez, replaced the homeowners’ traditional metal window well with our SunHouse Basement Window Enclosure. SunHouse enclosures feature a durable plastic cover to keep outside forces away from your basement windows, ensuring a more pleasant view from both inside and outside the home. Unlike other window well designs, the SunHouse enclosure has a light-colored bottom, which allows more sunlight to bounce into the basement, maximizing natural light in the homeowner’s below-ground living space. 

Although this was just one piece of a larger home improvement project, the homeowners took notice of their window well transformation, and now enjoy the many positive impacts that this SunHouse Enclosure has made on their home.

A Trumbull, CT homeowner was looking to finish their open concept basement, so they reached out to us at Connecticut Basement Systems. One of our Salesmen, Cary Benjamin, went to the home to walk through our finishing process and help design their basement with our products. Our Project Manager, Dan Medina, also helped after the proposal was given to finalize any finishing touches, then, it would be time for installation. 

The basement was completely transformed. We installed our EverLast wall panels throughout, as well as our ThermalDry elite plank flooring. We installed two bathrooms and two closed-off rooms that they can utilize as a gym and home office. Then we installed a kitchenette as well. This basement is now ready to be used and is beautifully finished with recessed lighting, drop ceilings, and many more finishing touches. 

The homeowner was very thrilled with the results, and we're excited to use this space to its full potential! 

A homeowner in Bridgeport, CT had a basement that was dark and dull and was in need of an upgrade. They called us at Total Basement Finishing of CT to help turn their dreams into reality. After scheduling an appointment, one of our Sales Consultants, Keith Rongey, went to the home to understand what the customer was looking for. After developing a plan with the customer, it would soon be time for our crew to get to work. Our crew installed EverLast walls throughout the whole space. They also put in our Elite Plank flooring in light pecan, giving the space a bright, fresh look! New stairs were put in too. This project transformed the basement completely and made it into a livable space for this homeowner!

Damp basement conditions can easily ruin certain flooring materials –like plywood, oriented strand board (OSB) and carpeting installed directly over a basement slab floor. It’s messy, expensive and discouraging to remove moisture-damaged materials from your basement. At Connecticut Basement Systems, we have a solution to this common problem: ThermalDry floor tiles. The high-density PVC plastic used to form the body of ThermalDry flooring tiles is strong, durable and immune to moisture damage! The underside of each ThermalDry tile features nubbed construction to create a drainage plane as well as a thermal break to shield your feet from the cold concrete floor.

The owners of this home wanted extra living space, but their basement was too cold and wet to be used for anything but storage. To create the perfect basement environment, we first had to waterproof the space. We installed WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement, and a TripleSafe sump pump to push the water out of the home. Next, we put ThermalDry carpeting on the floor, which keeps the floor 8-10 degrees warmer than the concrete underneath! Our ZenWall panels were the finishing touch on this Oxford home!
