Home Service, Repair & Remodel, Inc. performs all aspects of
basement finishing from planning and design, to construction and finished
interior decor.
We have close working agreements with several Cape Cod / MA Licensed
plumbers, electricians, HVAC and other contractors to insure the job runs
smoothly and on time.
We will be happy to discuss everything involved
with your basement remodeling project including:
- Space Planning
- MA Building Code Requirements
- Electrical / Plumbing / HVAC issues
- Wall / Ceiling / Flooring Options
- Materials / Hardware / Electronics / Appliance Choices
- Cost Estimate
- Project Time Estimate
- ... anything else to do with basement finishing.
When converting existing basements to living space,
planning for egress or "ways to get out"
of the basement (in case of fire, etc.) must be done.
We can replace basement windows, stairways, doors,
bulkheads or make other changes needed to meet
MA building code and safety regulations.
Building a bathroom in a basement sometimes
involves plumbing work to install water pumps
or special toilet if basement is below grade and
there is insufficient pitch of sewer pipe. We will
check existing plumbing before working on any
basement bathroom remodeling plan.
Complete basement remodeling jobs may involve
moving wires, pipes, even moving complete heating
systems or other utilities to maximize usable space.

Once design and planning work have been done,
walls need to be framed to accomodate insulation,
wiring, plumbing and heat as needed. Stairwells,
stairs, steps, railings and landings may need to
be renovated when basement storage areas are
converted to living space, (den, family room,
office, sports bar, laundry room or other uses).
Basement framing involved creating all the walls,
doorways, window openings, ceiling and may
include stair, tread / riser repair or renovation,
bar or counter framing as well as any needed
load bearing framing to support the structure
above if existing load bearing supports are
removed or relocated.
Before deciding on basement flooring, carpet, tile
or concrete floor epoxy paint options, all structural
waterproofing must be done, and in some cases a
basement dehumidifier should be installed.
We combine the latest in basement finishing system
technology with years of residential home remodeling
experience to create great basements.
We also do kitchen and bath remodeling, build decks,
and many other types of home improvements and repairs.
