This 1930s Arlington basement was not usable living space. The stairs were steep and you would bump your head going down. A steel post sat in the middle of the space impacting usability. The office space was always cold and the entire basement was musty. The existing bathroom was a time warp to 1970s and broken. We designed a new code compliant staircase and moved the header back for full height. Installed a new beam and removed the center support column.



Our HVAC team installed a dual head split system to heat and cool the space. New insulation throughout the basement. Open the concrete and install new plumbing for a powder room. Flooring is a mix of LVP and carpet.



"L" shaped basement. Turned one end into a Home Theater and the other end into a wet bar. Installed new vinyl plank flooring through out the basement. The Home Theater has carpet, insulation in the walls and ceiling as well as a sound absorbing drywall that helps control sound inside and outside the room. We created a raised platform for the second row of seats. Our electronics supplier installed all of the equipment.



25 year old basement that needed to be updated to a new contemporary look that suited the current owner. Opened the wet bar area by removing soffits, new bathroom with a walk in shower, vinyl plank flooring that looks like hardwood, updated lighting, TV area with a custom cabinet to hide the equipment.
