Now that we have a man-cave, my marriage is perfect!

We asked our Basement Makeover Family if it would be okay to use photos of their project in our blog....

Here is their response.....

I am busting up laughing over here at how atrocious our basement was !!!
No wonder I avoided it at all cost ! It gave me anxiety attacks 

Use our photos! Use our name! I would gladly take calls, give references, whatever is needed. 'Our basement is the first update to our home that I feel that was really done RIGHT. From top to bottom. Mitch guided us, shared his expertise, and crafted a room for our family. Hands down the best experience I have had with in the construction field - from Mitch to each and every one of his workers.' (Thats a quote you are free to use!)

Seriously, you and your crew are hands down the best contractors I have ever worked with.... And I used to own a drywall company!


 Now that we have a man-cave, my marriage is perfect!

(Thanks, Kristi we are so happy that you and your family can enjoy your new space.)

Basement -> Transformed -> Fabulous Family Room

DO YOU SEE THE VISION THEY SAW?

 This active family wanted a fun, comfortable and versatile space for family and friends to 'hang out'. Their decision was to convert their cement basement into an 'entertainment haven'.

Not sure where to start, they called Mitch to get some ideas. They knew they wanted a pool table, TV/Video game area, a fireplace and a bar area. But how would it all fit in? 

  

ARE YOU SEEING IT YET?

Well, of course there was a good amount of preparation prior to the finished room.
     (don't skip to the ending yet.... let it be a surprise)

Where to put the bathroom?

This corner became this.......

We wanted to hide the standard sewer ejection pipe that would be housed in the bathroom, so we created a custom-built enclosure.

No Chimney?    No Problem !!

A propane fireplace/heater takes the place of the treadmill

Now, that's a BIG difference !

Look at how the stairway transformed.....
