Why Remodel Your Basement?

Add Living Space: Finishing your basement is one of the most effective ways to increase your home’s functional square footage. You can gain an entertainment room, playroom, extra bedroom, or hobby space without the cost of an addition.
Boost Home Value: A well-finished basement can greatly enhance resale appeal. Remodeling’s Cost vs. Value study shows that a midrange basement renovation returns about 70% of its cost, making it a smart investment.
Versatile Design: Basements can be customized for your family’s needs – a home office, in-law suite, wet bar, or home gym. Adding a bathroom or kitchenette makes the space fully functional.
Comfort & Efficiency: Modern basement designs include proper insulation, drainage, and efficient HVAC to ensure comfort year-round. Properly finished basements are warm in winter and cool in summer, and energy-efficient lighting further cuts costs.
Entertaining: A finished basement provides an ideal place to entertain guests – whether it’s a media room, game area, or bar – without disturbing the rest of the household.
Safety & Quality: We address common basement issues like moisture, mold, and foundation concerns. Our process includes waterproofing and sump pump installation if needed, ensuring a dry, healthy space.

Our Basement Remodeling Services

We handle all aspects of basement renovations in Atlanta:

Basement Finishing: Complete finish of unfinished basements, including framing walls, installing drywall, and painting.
Moisture Control: Waterproofing solutions – sump pumps, French drains, and sealants – to prevent leaks and dampness.
Egress Windows & Doors: Installing code-compliant windows or exit doors for bedrooms and safe exits.
Bathroom & Wet Bar Addition: Build new basement bathrooms or wet bars – includes plumbing for sinks, showers, or kitchenette setups.
Custom Rooms: Design and build specialized spaces: media rooms, home theaters, playrooms, gyms, or offices, tailored to your lifestyle.
Electrical & Lighting: Upgrade wiring for basement-specific needs. Add recessed lighting, wall sconces, or smart controls to brighten the space.

Insulation & HVAC: Add insulation to walls and ceilings for efficiency, and extend or zone HVAC systems so your basement stays comfortable.
Staircase Finishing: Refurbish or rebuild basement stairs for safety and style, including handrails and lighting.
Painting & Trim: Apply mold-resistant paint and install trim to complete your customized living space.

Benefits of a Remodeled Basement

More Usable Space: You gain valuable extra room without needing to build an addition. Many families in Atlanta create home offices or playrooms in their new basements.
Investment Return: Homebuyers love finished basements. On average, you’ll recoup about 70% of a basement remodel’s cost in added resale value.
Energy Efficiency: A well-insulated basement improves overall home efficiency. Proper insulation and lighting reduce heating/cooling costs.
Comfort & Quality of Life: A bright, dry, temperature-controlled basement can become your favorite part of the house. Say goodbye to musty, cold basements – we’ll make it a cozy, inviting space.
Entertainment Potential: A basement media room or bar provides a dedicated entertainment area. You can host gatherings without crowding your main living space.

Our Basement Remodeling Process

Consultation & Planning: We discuss how you want to use your basement space. Our designers help plan layouts for bedrooms, bathrooms, or entertainment zones.
Transparent Quoting: You get a detailed estimate covering all elements (construction, plumbing, electrical, finishes). WS Painting & Remodeling maintains upfront pricing so your budget stays on track.
Permits & Compliance: Adding living space to a basement requires permits (especially for egress, electrical, and plumbing). We secure all necessary approvals in Atlanta before work begins.
Demolition & Preparation: If your basement was partially finished, we remove unsuitable materials. We then address any underlying issues (like leveling floors) and ensure moisture barriers are in place.
Construction Phase: Our licensed electricians, plumbers, and carpenters build the new space: framing, running new wiring and pipes, installing windows or doors, etc. We emphasize quality and safety at every step.
Finishing Touches: After the rough construction, we install drywall, flooring, lighting, and fixtures. Our finish carpenters add trim, and painters apply mold-resistant paint.
Final Walkthrough: Together, we inspect the completed basement to ensure every detail meets your expectations. We honor our satisfaction guarantee and fix anything if needed.
Cleanup & Warranty: We clean the area and explain your 2-year workmanship warranty. Enjoy your new basement with confidence knowing it’s built to last.

Addressing Common Concerns

Cost: Basement finishes in Atlanta typically range from $25 to $50+ per square foot. We provide options to fit your budget, from basic finishes to high-end upgrades.
Timeline: A full basement remodel usually takes several months. Once the design is set, we give you a realistic schedule and work diligently to meet it.
Moisture and Waterproofing: We know Atlanta basements can be prone to dampness. Our experts install sump pumps, proper drainage, and insulation to keep the space dry and comfortable.
Permits and Code: Bedrooms require egress windows; plumbing and electrical changes require permits. WS Painting & Remodeling handles all of this so your project meets local building codes.
Work Quality: We stand by our work with skilled craftsmanship. You’ll benefit from our decades of experience and our satisfaction guarantee – plus that 2-year warranty for peace of mind.
