At Gillard Avenue, we completed a stunning basement flooring renovation that breathed new life into this beautiful space. The project journey was challenging but incredibly rewarding, as we worked to ensure the area was not only functional but aesthetically pleasing. Here’s an in-depth look at the process, from preparation to the final reveal.
Assessing the Space
The basement showed signs of wear, including an outdated flooring system and areas that needed structural attention. Upon inspection, we discovered a few moisture-related issues that required immediate resolution to ensure the new flooring would last for years to come.
Step 1: Preparation and Repairs
Our first step was to remove the old flooring and inspect the subfloor for any damage. We addressed a moisture issue by applying a leveling compound and sealing the area to create a smooth, even base. This preparation phase was critical to ensure the new flooring would be secure and free of future complications.
We also added a moisture barrier to protect the flooring from any potential dampness, providing an extra layer of security for long-term durability.
Step 2: Laying the Foundation
The installation process began with pink foam underlayment, a material specifically designed to add insulation, reduce noise, and create a smoother base for the flooring. Each piece was carefully measured and cut to fit the unique dimensions of the basement. This step ensured maximum efficiency and precision for the flooring installation.
Step 3: Installing the Hardwood
For this renovation, the homeowners chose rich, dark-toned engineered hardwood flooring. This choice perfectly complemented the existing design elements of the home and gave the basement a warm, sophisticated look. Piece by piece, we installed the flooring, paying close attention to alignment, cutting where necessary, and ensuring a seamless transition between rooms.
Step 4: Finishing Touches
Once the flooring was installed, we added baseboards and quarter rounds to give the room a polished finish. We also conducted a thorough cleanup and ensured all transitions between rooms were smooth and secure. The result? A flawless and inviting basement that’s ready for family gatherings, movie nights, or additional living space.
Final Reveal
The transformation was breathtaking. The once-tired basement now features a modern, cohesive look with durable, low-maintenance flooring that ties the entire space together. The new flooring enhances the overall functionality and charm of the basement, making it a space the homeowners can be proud of.
