In the summer of July 2020, a woman contacted TBF of WNY for a free estimate on finishing her basement. She wanted to make it into a rec room with a home gym area and an area for her toddler to safely play in. When asked she told us that there were no water issues in her basement, it was just a regular, unfinished basement space.

Our Design Specialist Todd met with her and did measurements in her basement. When he was measuring he found that there was water damage on the floor and wall by the sump pump. This would have created problems if the basement was finished before this damage was taken care of. When Todd spoke with the homeowner about this damage she said that they had been having some trouble with the sump pump and the basement had been getting some water in it by the sump pump over the previous year but because the basement hadn't really flooded she didn't think to mention it when booking the appointment.

This is a perfect example of why we do in-person appointments instead of giving a quote over the phone or doing a virtual appointment. There are just so many things that can be overlooked if our Design Specialists aren't there to see them in person.

Todd recommended that we install a new sump pump for the homeowner along with the basement finishing and she chose to have us install the sump pump for her and to just finish the floors and the ceiling in the basement until she was sure that the walls wouldn't get water on them again. She also had us install a new SaniDry dehumidifier to keep the basement air dry too. We were happy to work with her on this project and we hope that her basement is nice and dry for her now! We hope that when she is ready to finish the walls that she will give us a call.

A couple in East Amherst, NY contacted Total Basement Finishing of WNY about their basement. It was a finished basement, but it looked tired. They were using it as a family room and office area, and it needed a refinish to bring it into the future with their family.

Our Design Specialist Andrew met with the couple and discussed options with them. They decided to keep their current walls, and to put in new flooring and a new ceiling. This was a great choice as our Linen dropped ceiling with mineral fiber composition will hold up a lot better for them than the particle ceiling that they had. And the got a SaniDry XP Air system. We know that this will make a big difference not only in their basement but also in the air quality of their whole house!

We hope that the couple loves the look of their refinished basement as much as we at TBF of WNY do. 

Gretchen W. from Amherst, NY knew that her basement wasn't being used the way she imagined it to be. She never wanted to be in the basement because it felt cold, dark and dingy no matter how clean it was! The potential for the space was more than present though, because the basement has a huge fireplace!

Gretchen knew of our company, because we had done work at her in'laws home earlier in the year, so she dialed us up and booked her free estimate! She met with Mike W., who evaluated the space and came up with a design personalized the Gretchen's wants and needs! Gretchen decided to turn the basement into a large family room with a section dedicated to children's recreation and play! It is now cozy and bright...and getting plenty of use!
