Job Stories

A couple have lived in their Brookline, New Hampshire home for six years. Now that their children are getting older, they want their own space to spend time in, and the parents want a nice space to work out in around work hours. They have an unfinished basement and would like to finish it in two sections. Half will be a family room, with the other being a workout space. The hot water heater was located beneath the stairs, which we finished with a short access door. We then added in an EverLast perimeter wall system, metal studs, and linen ceiling tiles. We put recessed LED lights in the ceiling and installed two EverLast windows to brighten up the space. This resulted in a clean and dry space for exercise and entertainment.

A young couple lives in a house in Pepperell, Massachusetts. Although the husband works from home, he would like to find a quieter space to work during the day. The family has an unfinished basement, but they aren’t sure if it will be tall enough to finish and make into a usable space. The basement height was challenging, but a portion of the basement was tall enough at 6'8 to be finished following local regulations. The portion that was not tall enough to be converted into an office or bathroom was instead made into clean storage so that no portion would be wasted space. We used our vinyl EverLast panel wall system, and painted ceilings to preserve as much height as possible. We installed MillCreek natural oak flooring, baseboard heating, and recessed can lighting. We also added a half bathroom and installed a sewage ejector, access panels, and decorative surrounds for their existing posts.

Tim and Michelle are a couple from Groton, MA. As they are a growing family with two young children, they decided to expand their living space and finish their basement. Total Basement Finishing, a Blackdog Affiliate, added a bathroom and wet bar to the basement, as well as space for the growing kids and family to play.

A couple in New Boston are very close with their daughter and granddaughter and plan to move them into their basement. They have a partially finished basement, which they are having refinished for their family. The project is straightforward, and they are having their heat installed independently. After that’s been set up, we are going to install our white vinyl wall system along the perimeter of the rooms. We are going to replace the current plywood stairs with oak stair treads and white-painted risers. We’ll finish the stairs by adding in a railing and balusters on the right side. The flooring will be our ElitePlank flooring in Pecan. This will create a beautiful, comfortable, and warm space for them to share their home with more of their family.

This couple was eager to finish their partially finished basement and make it a beautiful space to hangout and relax with their 3 young children. When water damage ruined the carpet leaving the space unusable, it was the final push they needed to call our team for help. When our team arrived to the beautiful home in Amherst NH they saw a basement living room with finished walls, finished ceiling and a ripped out carpet. With mom staying home with the children and dad working from home it made sense that this family would want a nice cozy living space to escape and watch movies. Our team created a design that worked perfectly with this family’s needs and desires. They decided to add a double hung window to bring in some natural light and a hearth for a wood stove. They also opened up the staircase and added a beautiful mahogany railing to one side. They added a closet under the stairs for storage and a full bathroom to complete the space. Their partially finished basement is now the basement of their dreams thanks to our team at Total Basement Finishing!

This is a recent basement finishing project we completed in Littleton, MA that features a stunning home bar, theater and seating area, recreational area, and bathroom. When wanting to expand your living space, why build up or out when you can make your basement look like this? The homeowners wanted to create a space for entertaining friends and family: a home theater, bar and guest bathroom were a must. The space features our pre-finished wall system, elite plank flooring, Candlelight Cabinetry cabinets, and Top Line Granite countertops.

Everyone wants a fun space to spend time in their home, and this included our clients in Acton, MA. Total Basement Finishing created just that! With TBF Paintable Wall Panels, Vinyl Flooring, PVC ceiling tile and a beautiful oak staircase, a stunning billiards and entertaining space was born. Because of the geographic location of their home, close to swampy marshland, the clients were also concerned about mold growth, but because of TBF’s patented paneling technology as well as a state-of-the-art Sani Dry system, the basement will stay dry and mold free.  

We first met Kumar S. at a home show in Wilmington, MA where he was looking for a contractor to finish his basement. Total Basement Finishing immediately impressed him with our unique water resistant Basement System. Not long after, he set up an appointment with us. We sent Dave, one of our salesmen, out to look at the space. Kumar lived in a newly constructed home with a large, unfinished basement. He and his wife had lots of home improvements in mind, including a new kitchen and bath, but at the top of their list was a finished basement. They wanted a space for their two children with room leftover for the adults. The project would encompass 90% of the basement. Their new space included a family room, a study, a bathroom, and a gym area. We also roughed a space for a future kitchen which Kumar did on his own. In all of these spaces we installed Everlast Wall Panels as well as Total Basement Finishing Trims and Moldings. Kumar was very happy with the space and has referred us to several of his friends and coworkers!
