Add living space without the expense of an addition. A finished basement is an investment well worth making — Braendel Services is here to make your cellar better!
Get a QuoteToo 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 Painting & Remodeling of 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.
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.
We had Braendel paint the exterior of our aluminum sided home. The job turned out amazing!! The workers were here on time each day, very professional and cleaned up after each days work. They were very responsive to the many questions I asked of them also. They also painted our concrete steps and vinyl shutters which turned out fantastic. When prepping and painting our home, they paid attention to all the details of our Dutch colonial.
We highly recommend Braendel
I could not be happier. They painted the entire exterior and detached garage. These guys transformed my house from an embarrassing eyesore to the best looking house on the block. Got exactly what I wanted. I would not hesitate to hire them again.
We had our bathroom remodeled by Braendel and are very pleased with the job they did. Their workers are highly skilled and quite personable.
They painted the exterior of our house last month. We were totally pleased with the workers, finished job, time frame. We would definitely hire them for more work on our home.
