Chautauqua, NY's Professional Basement Finishing & Remodeling Contractor

In the spring of 2019 we were contacted by a fantastic homeowner, who had recently purchased his home in Chautauqua, NY; adjacent to the Chautauqua Institution. He had an ambitious project for TBF of WNY to work with him on.  He wanted to totally refinish his basement, add 2 bedrooms with an egress window each, and put in a kitchenette. It would become a perfect space to have guests over in.

We did all this and more, adding a bathroom to the basement as well.  We insulated the basement with closed cell insulation to keep thing warmer, and used our EverLast Wall Systems to refinish the exterior walls and to divide the basement into individual rooms.  Egress windows were put into each bedroom area and will keep the occupants safe in the future. The basement was rewired, and new outlets and lights were put in. We both painted the ceiling and put in a drop ceiling due to the basement's height and the uses of the space to keep things cozy. 

There is no doubt that this beautiful finished basement will be used and enjoyed for many years to come. And we at TBF of WNY are so pleased that we could refinish the basement in this beautiful Chautauqua, NY home to enhance the homeowner's life there.

We met a homeowner named John at the Buffalo Home Show in 2017. He was very interested in our basement refinishing services as his basment had been finished before but was in rough shape when he met us.  He was initially interested in just refinishing the walls and ceiling, but when he saw our flooring options he and his wife decided to put in a new floor too.  

When our Design Specialist was at their home, he found that the drywall that had been put up previously had been water damaged and torn apart. The perfect solution to this was the EverLast Wall System. It's inorganic materials resist water and have none of the issues that drywall does in a basement.

John told us that he was very happy with how his basement turned out, and we are so glad that we could refinish the basement for him and make the space workable and safe for him.

Knowing that they wanted more space while staying home so much in 2020 due to Covid-19, a couple in Jamestown, NY contacted TBF of WNY about refinishing half of their basement for them. They had been having small problems with water seeping into the basement, and wanted a waterproofed fresh space to spend more time in.  Our Design Specialist Kenton met with the couple, and they all were very excited about going forward with the work in their basement.

TBF of WNY did a small waterproofing job for them, tieing the new drainage system into their home seamlessly. We also took out the old organic material based fiber boards that were by the stairs, which got rid of the water damage in the basement. TBF of WNY installed new EverLast wall systems, which because they are made of inorgainc materials helped create a clean and water resistant room for the couple. We also installed an egress window which added a level of safety to their home.

In 2017 one of our Design Specialists met with a couple in Irving, NY. They had a child, and another on the way so they wanted to refinished their basement to create a space that the whole family could grow with and enjoy.  

The Design Specialist measured the basement, and found it to be fairly empty which would make the renovation easier with less for the couple to move. Our EverLast Wall Systems made a huge difference in how the basement looked. They create a clean, modern look, and are also easy to clean which is a huge bonus for families with small children.  A painted ceiling, new floor pannels and fresh doors completed the basement's look. This basement was ready to be made into a family room when we finished the project.

In the summer of 2019 a pair of new homeowners contacted TBF of WNY, they wanted to remodel their basement to better suit their needs. When our design specialist met with the homeowners; the basement was finished from another decade. It had a small kitchen, a bathroom, and no water issues; but the homeowners wanted a living space in their basement that would better suit their lifestyles.

TBF of WNY did some demolition work, taking down the exiting drop ceiling amongst other things. New EverLast Walls went up, and a new linen dropped ceiling with recessed lights made a huge difference in the space. It made things look clean and modern, and these unlike drywall and the previous drop ceiling are mold and mildew resistant.  Baseboard heat was installed to help heat the basement in the winters, and new flooring finished the look of the space.

A homeowner contacted TBF of WNY, he wanted to refinish his basement as he wanted a clean and modern look to it. It had been finished originally in the 1970's or 1980's and it was covered in wood paneling. He had some concerns that there might be water leaking into the basement through the walls or floors as there was water damage to the paneling in one corner of the room. But because the paneling was there he couldn't be sure where the water was coming from.

At the initial appointment the homeowner gave his permission for the Design Specialist to remove some of the wood paneling from the corner to see what was really going on. To both of their surprise there was no damage to the walls or floors, but there was water coming in through the window wells.

Demolition was the first step in refinishing this basement. Along with our EverLast Wall Systems, and a new linen drop ceiling; new Sun House windows and new EverLast Basement Window Inserts were installed, which helped take care of the water issue. Thermal Dry tiles on the floor and decorative wraps around the support poles finished the refinishing and gave the basement a clean and modern look that wood paneling could never achieve.
