Too much commotion on the ground floor? Peace of mind may be right beneath your feet. Finished basements are highly versatile living spaces that can be utilized for work, play, or relaxation. Because they are isolated from the action upstairs, they are the perfect place to get away, any time of day. Make your Western New York home a haven with the skilled basement finishing professionals at Braendel Services Buffalo.
How do I waterproof my basement?
Moisture in a basement is a recipe for mold. Before finishing your basement, be sure to:
- Seal small gaps and cracks in the foundation
- Install diverters to keep gutter water away
- Invest in a dehumidifier if necessary
Constant or severe flooding may be a sign of a greater issue. In these instances, consult a professional.
How much headroom do I need in my basement?
Most building codes require a certain amount of headroom. If your basement is too shallow, it's possible to dig out the floor and lower it. This process is expensive, however.
What should I do if I have exposed pipes?
If your basement has exposed pipes, cover them with foam insulation sleeves to trap heat and stop condensation from dripping onto the walls and floors.
Do I need a window in my basement?
If you're creating a habitable space in your basement, such as a family room or bedroom, then you're required by law to have an egress window in case of an emergency. If you don't have one already, you'll need to install one as part of the finishing process.
Had a fantastic experience with Braundel's Painting and Services. Last June I hired some guy to paint my bathroom. He charged me in full but only painted half of it and I got ripped off. Luckily Jeff came to the rescue to see what happened and he was so nice to help me out. He sent Fred over to finish the job. Fred worked really hard and did a fantastic job to make sure he painted the bathroom perfectly. I was totally impressed and very satisfied with their services. This place is reliable and I can count on Jeff make sure I get what I need done here. I am so grateful for everything he has done for me. I would recommend Braundel Painting & Services for painting.
Wonderful group of guys. Prompt....neat....orderly....friendly and great price. Will definitely use them again!!!!
They were pleasant to work with and did quality work. Would hire again. Replaced about 15 old boards on my house and then painted exterior. Replaced garage entrance door
Jeff and Dan gave us an estimate that was very descriptive in what exactly they were going to do. When it came to having the job done Mike and Bryan did an excellent job and they made sure everything was perfect before moving onto the next room. It's really nice to see such hard workers who take the time to do things right in this rush society.
Great experience. I had them paint all the windows, doors, trim, deck and exterior wood. i certainly cant speak to the whole crew, but the two guys assigned to my job were top notch, experienced and professional.
Jeff was easy to deal with an a good communicator.
