Professional Basement Remodel
Basement Finishing and Remodeling
The beginning of any project begins with inspiration. Your inspiration may come in the form of a need for more living space, or a desire to create an atmosphere separate from the norm of the rest of the house.
In order to bring your ideas to reality floor plan drawings are needed. Drawing out the floor plan is not only a requirement for getting the permit, this step quantifies what is in your mind to paper. This is important for setting the correct expectation. You now know how big each room is in feet and inches, which allows you to plan furniture purchases, placement of art and other post construction items.
Once we have an idea of what the floor plan will be, it is important to secure the permit, and contact electricians, plumbers, and HVAC if necessary, so that the proper permit can be pulled for EACH respective trade. Each county requires that each trade pull their own permit. Beware if a contractor says they will do everything, it is not lawfully permitted in Maryland. Inspections keep everything in line, and acts as a safeguard for the customer. Many times, older homes and some not so new anymore homes were built to standards that are no longer current. When you have a remodel many of the new standards come into place. These standards are 9 time out of 10, related to safety.
Once all is in place work can began. Sometimes the framing will already have begun, while estimates for trades are coming in. At this point payments are being dispersed as project check points are being met according to the contract. Furniture and appliance if not readily in stock at a local store have been ordered and are on way to be installed once everything finish. Your Dream is becoming a reality.
