3 Ways to get More out of Your Basement this Year

If your basement is cluttered, dark and unusable, make this the year that you finally transform it into something you will use. Basements have a lot of potential, and with a few projects yours could become valuable living space.

Before you take on any remodeling projects, make sure things like appliances, plumbing, flooring and drywall are in good condition. We specialize in appliance repair, leak repair and boiler repair on Long Island, so contact us for assistance.

Storage Central

Optimize your basement for storage by adding shelving to the walls, storage bins, hooks and boxes that will help you stay organized. You can build your own custom shelves so the space is specially designed for your needs.

An Extra Family Room

Turn the basement into a kid-friendly family room where you can relax after work and the kids can play. Add comfortable furniture, shelves for toys and games and décor to make the area comfortable. You could even add a desk at one end for a home office or hobby area.

Full-Fledged Entertainment Room

Now is the perfect time to create your dream entertainment or movie room. Start with plenty of comfortable seating, end tables for refreshments, shelves for DVDs and of course, an entertainment center. Add speakers, a game table or even a mini fridge. Finish the room with lights you can dim and fun decorations like movie posters.

Make this the year you finally turn your basement into something fun and usable. Before you start, contact us for leak detection and repair, remodeling services and boiler repair on Long Island. You can find more tips for remodeling your basement on the Pat Dolan Plumbing website.
