Too 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.
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.

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.
Braendel power washed and painted my home and installed new porch railings and pillars they exceeded my expectations and paid attention to every detail. I have used them in the past when they gutted my kitchen and painted my cupboards. I definitely will use them again when I plan my next home project. Thank you for your professionalism and detail you are awesome.
