basement remodels

Basements are the last frontier of many homes in Seattle: undeveloped, a little raw and with some real logistical challenges. Basements also often represent a good value for creating new, usable space in your home. Whether you have high ceilings, need to dig down, or even lift the house, basement remodeling is a very common project in our city.

The master bedroom area was also retrofitted, radiator relocated, and a new large egress window added. The fir floors are original and were refinished. The basement had been finished partially early in the house's history, with the fir floors installed on a sleeper system. The downside of that system is that it transmits noise, so we added foam insulation at the walls to stop noise from traveling room to room through the floor

The new egress windows are Marvin hopper-style windows. Wood windows with aluminum cladding on the outside, these windows operate two ways: tilting in from the top to provide air flow, and swinging in from the side, to provide a large opening to leave the room in case of an emergency. The powder-coated corrugated window wells blend in visually with the landscaping from the inside

From the outside, new shrubbery delineates and will soon conceal the window wells. Siding and window replacement at the main floor is the next planned project. Seattle basement design

The finished space is comfortable, warm and functional, with a main living room/bedroom that includes a nook for a computer

The finished space has many closets for storage and a bonus room that is used for craft work

The remodeled basement is a comfortable and ample space for the retired family member--a suite away from the rest of the family but still close enough to join in and cook when desired. It makes it possible for each generation of the family to live comfortably under the same roof and still have an easy getaway
