Your Reliable Niagara Falls, NY Basement Finishing Experts

A homeowner in Niagara Falls, NY originally contacted TBF of WNY about having part of her basement finished in 2017. After talking with one of our Design Specialists, she decided to wait a year or two to start the work as it was a bigger project than she had originally thought. We stayed in touch with her, and she met with us again in 2019 when she was ready to start her basement renovation and decided that she would be ready to start her renovation in the spring of 2020.

Then Covid-19 hit and she decided to wait until 2021 to have the work done on her basement. 

We think that it was well worth the wait, as her basement turned out very nicely. We framed out a new room for her, renovated her bathroom with our fantastic EverLast Wall Panels, and put in new floors and doors. Her basement looks very nice now, and we hope that she can enjoy it for many years to come.

In the fall of 2020, a couple contacted Total Basement Finishing of WNY for help with their basement. There was a room in it that had been created in the late 1970s and it was looking worn, tired, and broken. They wanted Total Basement Finishing to bring this room back to life for them.  Our Design Specialist Todd met with the couple and measured the room. He saw three types of paneling on the walls, and one of them had a hole in it that was the size of half the wall panel. It was certainly time for an upgrade!

When meeting with Todd the couple decided that they didn't want to finish the basement floor right now, they just wanted to upgrade their existing walls to our fantastic EverLast Wall Panels, have the basement room ceiling painted, and install some new lighting to make the current basement room cheerful and bright.  The couple also decided to hold on doing the work for a few months, which let us have time to get the necessary permits cleared and start the work for them in April of 2021. After tearing out the old walls for the homeowners our installation crew worked hard on making their basement a modern and fun space.

The homeowners love their basement and were very impressed with our installation crew. They told us that the crew was great, very helpful, and did a fantastic job. We are glad that they love their basement and hope that it gives them many years of enjoyment.

A homeowner in Niagara Falls, NY contacted us with a special job. She had been having water issues in her basement and wanted to know if we could do some waterproofing in her basement for her. It is rare that we do just waterproofing in a basement as we cannot do large foundation repairs, but the woman really wanted the work done quickly and had heard from friends that we did work for before that our work was very good, so we said we would take a look at the problem.

Our Design Specialist Todd went to her home and met with the homeowner. He inspected and measured the basement and found that the water issues weren't as intricate as we had orginally thought. We worked with the homeowner to plan basic waterproofing that attached to her existing sump pump system and a small crack repair on the wall.

We know that the home owner will now have a basement that is safe and dry. We hope that if she ever wants to fully refinish her basement that she will be in touch with us so we can make her now dry basement beautiful.

In 2017 we were contacted by a homeowner who needed help in his basement fast! He had tried to refinish the basement floor on his own, but the product that he had used wouldn't dry, even after waiting 5 days. He wanted a new floor ASAP.

Our Design Specialist met with him and he agreed to clean up the sticky mess that was on the floor at the time of the appointment. TBF of WNY rushed his job, and installed a new floor within 2 weeks for him. He agreed that our Mill Creek flooring really looked fabulous and he was pleased that he didn't have to do more work with it.

At TBF of WNY we strive to keep our customers happy, though we cannot always rush jobs like this we were very happy that we could in this case. We hope that the homeowner and his family have been able to enjoy their new floor and that they will be able to for years to come.

A couple contacted TBF of WNY with a big project. Their basement had been "finished" in the 1970's and they wanted to update it to make a play room for their child, and for their baby that was one the way. The basement was covered in wood panelling and had exposed wiring and pipes from an old kitchen area that used to be in the basement. The couple felt that it was a real mess that they wanted to have fixed up quickly.

Our Design Specialist met with them and helped them redesign a beautiful new basement that would fit their growing family's needs.

Our EverLast Wall System was installed on all exterior walls, and the EverLast particians went up to create a laundry area, a storage area, and a finished play area for their family.  With doors to seperate everything, the children would be safe and have a comfortable place to play. We installed both our Elite Plank flooring and our ThermalDry flooring tiles in different areas of the basement, which also helped create sperate areas for different activities.  We installed extra recessed lighting which brightened up the space, and put wraps around the basement support posts which really finished the space.

We hope that this family can enjoy their basement for many years to come and that they enjoy it as much as we enjoyed working with them on it.

At the end of 2019, a couple contacted us, and set up an appointment to speak with a Design Specialist about their basement. They had big hopes to add a bedroom, bathroom, and a living space that could accomidate a game room and a home theater to their basement. Our Design Specialist met with them, and they started working on plans that would make their dreams come true. 

We could add in a medium sized bedroom including an egress window, a full bathroom; and we even fit in a well sized living space for the couple to use as they wanted to.  Our EverLast Wall Systems make adding rooms to a basement easy. And their basement was tall enough to accomidate a drop ceiling made with our special mineral fiber composition. And our Mill Creek flooring really finished the room and brought everything together.

We finished this project just as the Covid-19 shutdown started, and we hope the the couple will be comfortable and happy in their basement now as we are all spending more time at home.

A homeowner called us with a special request, his basement was finished to a point that he was happy with and he wanted to turn it into an apartment. To do this he needed to have an egress window installed, and he was hoping that we could help him with that.  

Egress windows are no problem for the team at TBF of WNY, we got his installed in about a week, and everything went smoothly.

Egress windows were made mandatory for all basement bedrooms in 2015, and in May of 2020 were made mandatory for all basement renovations in New York State. We will be happy to help you out with these when you need one installed.

A man in Niagara Falls, NY contacted us about making a basement bedroom for him. This was slightly complicated because his home is located right next to a creek and every basement bedroom needs to have an egress window installed in it.  TBF of WNY had a boundry survey done to do the work to make sure that everything would be far enough away from the creek to safely dig and install. When we were sure that we could proceed, TBF of WNY got to work!

We installed our EverLast Wall Systems to create a clean bedroom space; and installed both the egress window and an EverLast basement window insert to let more light into the basement bedroom. We worked with an electrician to add extra electrical outlets and electric smoke alarms into the new bedroom. Then we installed our Mill Creek flooring in the quiet Natural Oak color. A painted ceiling with recessed lights finished the space.

One of the first refinishing jobs that we did after we opened was in Niagara Falls, NY. The couple contacted us about refinishing their basement as they wanted it to look better and suit their current needs for the space more than it was. Our Design Consultant met with the couple three times to make sure that their needs and desires were met in the new design.

We installed our EverLast wall systems; including a half wall to break up the basement space. We boxed out the ductwork on the ceiling, and installed our Linen Drop Ceiling with a Mineral Fiber Composition created a polished look in the basement; and our Mill Creek Flooring finished the look.

We're so proud that we got to work on this basement, and that it turned out absolutly beautifully.

In 2019 a homeowner contacted TBF of WNY and let us know that he wanted to install a drop ceiling in his basement. Our Design Consultant went up to Niagara Falls, NY and met with him; and he fell in love with our flooring options and decided to refinish his floors too!

We installed our Prestige Drop Ceiling with a Mineral Fiber Composition. This is superior to "regular" drop ceiling tiles as it is mold, mildew, and water resistant. As are our flooring options! The homeowner loved our Therma Dry Tile Floors, and our Elite Plank Flooring. We finished the space with baseboard molding which created a polished look in the basement.

We're glad that the homeowner loved our products and invested in his basement. We hope that this space will bring him years of joy and comfort.

Last year we did a full basement refinishing for a couple in Niagara Falls, NY.  Their basement had no water or other issues, they just wanted to have a clean and modern basement that would better suit their life.

Our Design Specialist met with the couple, and really listened to what they wanted. They didn't want to move their washer and dryer; and they wanted a small laundry area. The Design Specialist showed them how our EverLast wall systems could not only make their exterior walls look lovely but also how they could create a small laundry room without moving anything. They loved that!

It took one of our install crews only about two and a half weeks to install our EverLast wall systems, paint the ceiling, and install our Mill Creek flooring in the basement. With the help of an electrician we got the basement rewired and installed recessed lights that gave a lot more light to the basement than the previous fixtures.  BiFold Doors were installed to finish the seperation of the small laundry area from the main room.

A woman in Niagara Falls, NY contacted Total Basement Finishing of WNY for help waterproofing her basement. She didn't have any major water issues in her basement, but she wanted to keep problems away in the future.  Our Design Specialist Todd met with her and worked with her to create a waterproofing plan that would work in her basement.

TBF of WNY created a small trench on the perimeter of the basement to create a barrier in the drain tile and tied the perimeter tile to the sump pump to give the water it collected a place to go to be released.  We then poured concrete to the same level of the existing floor and smoothed it so there will be no difference in the space over time.  We hope that this work will keep the basement dry for years to come, and that if she ever wants to fully refinish her basement that this wonderful woman will contact Total Basement Finishing again!
