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.
Quality work at a fair price. Great job! Highly recommended!
I highly recommend Braendel Painting for any painting job you need to have done! They responded within a day of my placing a call for a quote. Both Jeff and Dan are knowledgeable and confident in what they do. The colors they suggested for the outside of my business were perfect! My bakery looks like a new building. Fred and Tim and Spencer worked for 2 days power washing, scraping, filling in the many holes before expertly painting my building.Thank you, guys!
To all the staff at Braendel, Mark and I would like to extend a special thank you for your assistance in painting the inside rooms of our new home and with the assistance with tiling the kitchen and tolerating Dutchess, our Great Dane, during their lunch hour. In addition, we would like to express our appreciation for the dedication and professionalism of your company.
Your friendly staff worked very hard on this project and we would like them to know it did not go unnoticed. Our home is beautiful, more than we could have imagined. If you need our assistance for a reference, please do not hesitate to ask. Once again, thank you for helping us make our dreams come true.
Painted the house and garage! They did an excellent job. On time and cleaned up! Would recommend!
We recently had the exterior of our house and shed painted and were very happy with the quality of the work and the price was reasonable.
If there was anything keeping us from a 5 star rating it was only the time it took to complete. We were originally quoted 3 days but it took about a week. I got the impression they were a little tight on staff.
I will say Tom and Rob were very friendly and professional and did very good work! The few minor concerns and touch ups we had were addressed the same day we brought them up. Good job guys!
