Everything went great! Bill and his crew were super professional, punctual, and responsive. When my wife and I could not come up with a solution for some of the surprises we found after removing the walls, his crew always did. Pricing was extremely fair for the high-quality work performed. We would hire Bill and his crew anytime for any future projects. Thanks again!

Of course, you hate descending those creaky wooden stairs to your cluttered, unfinished basement. There’s nothing downstairs in your home but junk! Years of your family’s discarded belongings scatter your home’s foundation, and every time you spend money on a dumpster to clear out your basement, somehow, more junk magically appears in the following months.

The only thing colder than your basement floor is the draft coming from your storm windows. Not only have they cost you thousands of dollars in water damage, but they’ve also become a revolving door for your local wildlife. Each of your family members has dozens of stories about encountering spastic bats, feral rats, neighborhood cats, and even that raccoon who always raids your garage’s trashcans.

Instead of having your basement serve as the guest room for uninvited intruders, refinish it. Maybe you want to double up on the bedrooms in your home because your kids are getting too old to share a room. Anyhow, you’ll spend less of your leisure hours breaking up fistfights or yelling over them if you finally finished your basement.

Do what you’ve always wanted to do and hire a basement remodeling contractor to build your dream man cave. Soundproofing your basement’s walls with high-quality spray foam or rock wool insulation—as well as using resilient channels to create air pockets between the double layer of drywall—will give you a private space to watch Sunday night football and all your favorite movies.

If you’d like more information on soundproofing your living space, we go into greater detail on the process in our blog post “3 New Modern Shed Ideas For Your Backyard.” Of course, if you’re considering a modern shed but want to learn more first, check out our recent podcast on the different types of modern sheds to discover the different functionalities and infinite versatility of these promising backyard structures.

Whether you’re a guitarist who likes their amps loud without disturbing the neighbors or you need a quiet retreat from the chaos of your home, Perry Brothers Construction wants to help you build the basement of your dreams.

Think of what you could gain if you remodeled and refinished your home’s basement. You’d always have a comfortable space for your family to hang out together. Forget fighting for the best spots on the living room couch. You’ll be able to fit that black leather wraparound sofa you’ve always wanted. Professionally mount a huge flatscreen TV to your refinished basement’s walls, conveniently hooked up to a Dolby 7.1 surround sound system that’ll shake the room. Yes, please. Also, don’t forget ping-pong tables as a great home addition to any finished basement space. Entertainment items like this will provide your family with a fun, spur-of-the-moment activity during the winter months in Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire. And if competition ramps up the heat,  we recommend installing an automated smart home thermostat system for your basement remodeling or renovation job, providing you precise control over the temperature for each room in your home, all from your smartphone.

Picture all the dusty board games you’ve got piled up downstairs in your cold unrenovated basement, covered in spiderwebs that are home to the unidentifiable bugs who were victims to your eight-legged guests. The electrical work is older than your in-laws, and every time you’ve tried changing a lightbulb, you immediately blow a fuse—and because there’s no light shining through your tiny basement storm windows, how are you supposed to decipher any of the game’s titles?

Perry Brothers Construction is your professional basement contractor equipped with the expertise and careful eye to tackle any home renovation and remodeling project.

If you decide to hire Perry Brothers Construction, rest assured we’ll schedule and perform all electrical and plumbing work for your basement remodel job.

We’ll recommend that you switch out any old incandescent light fixtures for state-of-the-art Energy Star–rated LEDs, which can integrate with any smart home system. That way, you can control the colors, brightness, and automation settings of your basement lights directly from your smartphone.

One of the biggest contributors to mold buildup in an unfinished New England basement is heavy humidity during the summer months. While you may personally find the air unbearable, mold and mildew thrive in this type of climate. If you purchased a historic home and haven’t remodeled your basement yet, your walls most likely weren’t prepped with a mold-inhibiting primer. Until you’ve decided you’re ready to remodel your basement, try placing a dehumidifier to help prevent new mold patches from forming.

If you’ve ever felt a small, unidentifiable draft coming from any of your basement’s windows or doors, you’ve possibly encountered outdoor air leakage due to improper sealing. Run your hand along the edges of your drafty basement windows and doors, feeling for a cool stream—that’ll reveal where the air gap is. In most cases, a simple caulking gun will do the job, but if the draft continues to worsen, it may be time to consider replacing your basement’s windows and doors. We recommend any Harvey or Anderson, but any Energy Star–rated windows and doors will reduce your energy bill.

Increases Home Value

Remodeling your basement can increase the overall value of your home, making it more attractive to potential buyers and allowing you to sell it for a higher price in the future.

Provides Additional Living Space

A well-designed and finished basement can provide additional livable space which can be used for various purposes, such as:

Home Theater– Instead of going out to watch a movie with your family and spending a fortune on snacks, do so in the comfort of your home theater. Save money and watch the movie comfortably in your pajamas!

Additional Bedroom– This is a perfect basement remodeling idea to provide an extra bedroom for family members or even a separate living space for guests or renters. Maximizing even a portion of your home’s space could bring in recurring income if you rented the space out for someone to live there or even rent it out as storage space.

Extra Room For Working Out– This is an excellent way to make use of the extra space in your basement, turning it into a workout room or even a yoga studio. This can save you money on gym memberships and give you an extra space in your home to focus on your 2023 fitness goals.

Laundry Room– This can either be a separate room or one that is shared with the living space in your basement. It could add convenience and value to the house while freeing up more space in the rest of your home.

Extra Entertainment Space– This could be a great place to entertain friends and family, or could be used as an additional game room. With the right design and furniture, you can create a cozy atmosphere in your basement entertainment center that everyone will enjoy. This can make everyone feel comfortable to want to hang out at your place, rather than going out (saving you all money).

The possibilities are endless when it comes to how you can utilize the unfinished basement in your home.

Reduces Energy Costs

Adding insulation, sealing air leaks, and upgrading windows and doors, a remodeled basement can improve your home’s energy efficiency, reducing energy costs and making it more environmentally friendly.

Whether you’re a new homeowner looking to fully utilize your home’s space or have been neglecting your unfinished basement for years, in the long run, you would only benefit from a full-scale basement remodel. Whether you’ve hired a basement remodeling contractor before or it’s your first time, Perry Brothers Construction wants to give you an enjoyable, stress-free experience with the goal of developing a successful long-term relationship.

Don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’d love to have a discussion with you regarding your basement remodeling or renovation project.
