Basement Finishing Towson

While basements are not as common as they used to be, they still do exist. And if you are one of the homeowners who have one, you know how helpful they can be. For one, they can be the extra storage area you keep those items that do not fit into your home. Basements also serve as a laundry facility, workspace, and, more recently a spare room.
 
But unless they are properly finished, they will remain just another space that collects junk and unused items in your home. Arlo Contracting can work with these underappreciated spaces and help you create an extra room in your home that you will be proud of, use frequently, and save money because the items you store there will not receive damage from water, mold, or be prone to infestation.

General Basement Finishing

​When hiring a general contractor to turn your basement into more than a damp storage unit, you want to ensure they understand the complexities of basement finishing and do the job correctly the first time. The handymen with Arlo Contracting have the experience needed to change your dark, damp, and unsightly underground space into a finished, usable space for you, your family, and guest you may entertain.
 
A finished basement includes:

• Drainage Control to keep basements dry.
• Sealing walls to prevent wall and floor leakage that promotes mold and mildew growth.
• Weatherproofing any exposed windows, which consists of weather stripping and proper caulking.
• Warm floor installation, which can include linoleum, tile, or carpet.
• Ensuring proper climate control and properly installed utilities  

 
When you have a habitable environment, it encourages the usage of the area.

Basement Finishing for Entertainment

​A comfortable laundry space is not the only thing for which basements can be used. Many finish their basement for entertainment purposes.

Multipurpose Rooms

​With the downsizing of the home, and many no longer having a dedicated entertaining area, those with unused basements are turning these spaces into Family Rooms. These rooms were the usual place to watch TV and movies and entertain guests. Now with the growth in popularity of binge-watching, these home theaters are becoming popular once again.
