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.
We hired Braendel Painting & Services for popcorn removal, ceiling repair / finishing and painting in our new home - We couldn't be happier with the results! Thank you Braendel! We would absolutely call them for future services!
Wonderful group of guys. Prompt....neat....orderly....friendly and great price. Will definitely use them again!!!!
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.
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!
We bought our home 18 years ago and I can honestly say that it has never looked better! We have a Tudor style home with cedar siding and stucco. They were very thorough. Our home was a few years over due for a new paint job and they made sure it received the extra care it needed. The people were so responsive from start to finish. The crew was friendly & professional. They finished in the time that they said it would take and everything was completely cleaned up when they left. I am just thrilled with the outcome.
