Basement Carpet
First and foremost, when it comes to padding a basement floor you want to take
two things into consideration. Consider the irregularities in the concrete and
moisture issues. It is a good idea to spend a little extra money on the thickest
carpet pad you can get. This will help smooth out the level differences in the
concrete, especially around the walls and jack posts.
As far as moisture issues are related, it is suggested that you use padding that
has an anti-microbial built into it to keep mold or mildew from growing. Keep in
mind, choosing a carpet without an attached under padding is recommended because
separate rubber based under padding will resist humidity more efficiently. Also,
installing a dehumidifier will help to create a dry, airy environment.
When it comes to the actual carpeting, you may want to consider carpeting with a
resistance to moisture and mildew, such as nylon and olefin fibers. Nylon offers
excellent durability and is wear, soil and mildew resistant. Olefin fibers are
resistant to moisture and mildew, easy to clean, durable, and resistant to
stains, wear and static electricity.

Preparing For Basement Remodeling
Basement remodels require you to plan ahead and prepare for your contractors to
be moving things in and out of your lower level. The stairwell, entrance way and
storage area are the three main areas to focus on. Contractors need to be able
to easily get from their truck and into your basement as they are carrying heavy
loads of materials and equipment.

Planning Your Basement Remodel
As you may have heard plenty of times before, “planning ahead” is definitely the
most crucial step to a remodeling project. Homeowners that go into a home
remodeling project ill-prepared and unaware usually end up dealing with higher
costs in job quality, later due dates, higher project costs and a major
headache. Needless to say, the planning/permitting process, and negotiating
construction start dates are hard to fit into the same building season unless
you plan ahead!

that you may hire. First of all, they are typically hired to make an enhancement
to your home, as opposed to most contractors that are hired to correct problems
or perform maintenance. It’s usually exciting to have a basement contractor
working on your home because you can anticipate your living space becoming
bigger and better.
