Tornadoes, crazy storms, unbearable heat…summer is interesting this year. Why not create a cool retreat in the basement and have a comfortable place to relax, keep cool and stay safe, or just create a great area to hang out in with friends and family?
Expand Your Space
After being stuck in our homes for months due to COVID, homeowners are finding that adding more livable and usable space to their homes is desirable. Even as we return to a more normal life post-COVID, many are seeing the value of increasing their home’s space.
Expanding usable space in your home by updating or upgrading the basement is a great way to add room to your home. Basements are an economical alternative to a home addition. Additionally, no major changes to the home are required. The basement is already there and if you are on a budget and can’t swing a full-on renovation, which can cost over $20k, Garage Store can help you get your basement ready to use.
· Basement Flooring
Basements are typically damp, humid, and dusty below-ground areas. Basement floors make up over 40% of the surface space that generates moisture in the basement. Using traditional flooring materials like carpet, laminate or even vinyl floor tiles can harbor that mod, mildew, and allergens. Not to mention if the basement should flood during a heavy rainfall, the flooring can be completely ruined.
Epoxy systems, such as Garage Store’s decorative concrete coating systems, can significantly reduce humidity, mold and mildew and can transform any basement into a brighter, more attractive, and functional space. The floors are easy to clean and maintain and reduce the moisture normally emitted through a concrete floor. With a 30+ year life expectancy, these flooring systems are also terrific value.
· Wall Storage
Adding storage can take your basement from a state of disorganized clutter to a clean, functional, and organized area. Clearing up floor space to add a sitting area, workout room, woodshop, or whatever you desire.
Storage systems can be custom designed and are designed to expand as your needs do. Storage solutions are a great way to still store all the items you don’t want to part with, without sacrificing valuable space in the basement.
Makeover Your Basement in 2021
Having a finished or unfinished basement with the right flooring system and storage can provide open spaces for activities that might not be possible in a more formal, finished space. Create a safe open area for the kids to play in when it’s too hot outside. Or create a more adult space for you to retreat to when you need a break.
