Imagine A Beautiful, Functional, and Comfortable Space

We’re very happy with how our project turned out. They transformed the space from a cold dark basement to a warm bright living space in just four short weeks. They worked around our work schedule to work while we were not home and took care of everything from the planning, permits, installation, inspections, painting, and coordinating the electrical work. Highly recommend!

One month start to finish. Carpenter was a true craftsman; beautiful work. The project manager stayed in touch and handled concerns well. Now a great new exercise space.

Beautiful Work!

They finished the basement of our second home on Cape Cod. The workmanship was superior! Work started early and was completed timely. Their service personnel were fantastic to work with and very considerate of our requests.

The workmanship was superior!

Very professional and easy to work with. Both jobs were finished very quickly and the final product is amazing. This system is slightly higher than a typical drywall product, but you get what you pay for.

This is Our Second Finished Basement

They were attentive to designing a space to meet our needs but most importantly, we were impressed with the basement system because it is moisture-resistant, mold-resistant, and sound absorbent.

We were impressed

They did a fantastic job remodeling our basement. They worked hard and were always professional. The wall panel system is high-quality and smart. They were very responsive to our questions, comments and requests. Our main contact even came in one extra day and fixed our minor complaints all by himself.

The working crew was in and out in 2 weeks and we have been loving our basement for over a year now. Great peace of mind knowing that if (or when) a water problem happens in our basement, we can just pop a wall section off, fix the leak, and put the wall back on.

We have been loving our basement

Frequently rAsked Questions

How much does it cost?

Each basement is unique, but compared to other remodeling projects, finishing your basement can be the most cost effective and offers you the greatest return on your investment.

How do I get started?

It’s easy. Just call 1-800-BASEMENT™.

Is the Basement Finishing System™ available in stores?

To assure optimum results, it is offered and installed by our Basement Finishing System™ certified professionals.

What advantages does it have over traditional drywall?

Many. Drywall dents easily, restricts access to your foundation, is damaged by moisture and is subject to mold and rot. The Owens Corning® Basement Finishing System™ helps eliminate these problems, and others.

Will it waterproof my basement?

The Basement Finishing System™ panels are moisture-resistant to accommodate high-humidity environments, but cannot correct an existing water problem in your basement.

What is the R-Value of the product?

Our system has an R value of R-11 or R-18 depending on your local code requriments. “R” means thermal resistance to heat flow. Insulation works by helping to keep the heat in your home in the winter and the heat out of your home in the summer – keeping you more comfortable!

Yes. It is imperative that you have easy access to your foundation walls in the event of a pipe leak, electrical problem or foundation issue The Basement Finishing System™ provides easy access with removable walls and trim components.

Has the product been independently tested?

Yes. The Basement Finishing System™ has been tested by third party certified labs for flammability, thermal, acoustical, and stability performance as required for listing by International Code Council Evaluation Service, Inc.™ and is building code compliant with the International Residential Code®.
