Basement Remodeling
A basement remodeling project can be a terrific way to take an existing unused space and convert it into an extra bedroom, a children's play area, a home theater and more. Take into account the size of the area, the water logging conditions in the Jacksonville, FL area in which you live, and the new use of the basement before you begin finishing your basement. It takes some creativity and a lot of hard work to get a basement from a dank and dark space to a bright and cheerful family room or entertainment center. Basement remodeling is always done to create a new space for leisure, although you can just as easily turn your basement into a home office.
A damp and leaky basement is hardly the kind of place where you would like to spend any amount of time. Besides, the dampness can reduce the value of your house dramatically. Water proofing of your basement is the most important step in basement renovation. Through proper insulation, your basement finishing contractor will be able to control the flow of air, thereby reducing moisture. You will also need to install a sub floor over your existing concrete floor before you use floor coverings like rugs and carpets. Since the basement is home to the entire pipe work of the house, you will need to use your imagination to hide these pipes and wiring from visibility. False ceilings and special screens can hide these unsightly elements.
A basement remodel can proceed like clock work, giving you a beautiful and functional living space that meets all your needs. This can happen only if you plan out the project properly. Generally, a 4 to 6 month period is recommended for your basement remodel planning. Talk to each member of the family about their ideas for a finished basement, before you go hiring contractors. Layouts are difficult to change when you're half way through the project. For instance, the age of the people who use the basement most often must be considered. For instance, if you plan to have a children's play area, you also need a child friendly bathroom, non slip tiles, and simple and easy to clean furnishings. Besides, there are building code requirements to take care of. Expect unplanned for delays to take place, and factor in extra time to handle these.

I am wanting to convert a garage into a bedroom and a closet and a bathroom, carpet ect. The room next to it requires a little work carpet, closing off the washer and dryer and turning the closet that faces the den around. Would like to share the bathroom with the other room if possible.
