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 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.
Braendel did an excellent job with our interior painting, installation of recessed ceiling lights and ceiling fan. The whole team was very professional. From start to finish they paid attention to detail. Will definitely contact again for all home improvements.
Fast, quality work, completed on time and with consummate neatness. Price was right. Jeff is very creative and committed to quality. Love their work!
We recently had our great room and entry painted and hardwood flooring installed by Braendel. All the personnel were professional, friendly, and hard working. They were courteous and accommodating of our needs and requests. The workmanship was excellent and the crews did a thorough clean up. We would definitely hire them again and recommend the company to friends and family.
I have asked them multiple times to paint my house. The wall came out looking perfectly. The people are responsible and the price was reasonable.
Wonderful group of guys. Prompt....neat....orderly....friendly and great price. Will definitely use them again!!!!
