We first met Kumar S. at a home show in Wilmington, MA where he was looking for a contractor to finish his basement. Total Basement Finishing immediately impressed him with our unique water resistant Basement System. Not long after, he set up an appointment with us. We sent Dave, one of our salesmen, out to look at the space.
Kumar lived in a newly constructed home with a large, unfinished basement. He and his wife had lots of home improvements in mind, including a new kitchen and bath, but at the top of their list was a finished basement. They wanted a space for their two children with room leftover for the adults.
The project would encompass 90% of the basement. Their new space included a family room, a study, a bathroom, and a gym area. We also roughed a space for a future kitchen which Kumar did on his own. In all of these spaces we installed Everlast Wall Panels as well as Total Basement Finishing Trims and Moldings. Kumar was very happy with the space and has referred us to several of his friends and coworkers!
Katie and Fred S. came to Total Basement Finishing because they had seen some of our stellar online reviews, which piqued their curiosity. They called us up wanting to get their basement remodeled so we sent our salesman, Jim, over for a consult.
When he arrived, Jim noticed right away the white peeling paneling that lined the basements interior as well as the dirty tiled flooring and the large distracting lally columns. The basement also looked as if it had sustained water damage over the years and there was a distinct mildewy smell to the air. Jim knew right away that Katie and Fred needed this basement remodel and that Total Basement Finishing was just the company for the job.
We got to work installing a beautiful wet bar and creating an amazing media center for them. We installed Everlast Wall Panels in lieu of the peeling white walls they had before, and replaced the dusty tile with beautiful faux-wood flooring that would protect from further water damage. The results were beautiful and Katie and Fred couldn't be more thrilled with their new space!
This family dreamed of adding some extra space in their home to relax and provide storage. Our Total Basement Finishing team provided them with a storage area that has a Zenn wall, subfloor, finished ceiling and florescent lights. This area is now clean and dry and can be closed off to the rest of the living space. In the living area they finished the floor with carpet tiles and built half walls on both sides of the finished stairway. The family is thrilled with the attention to detail, workmanship and patience our team had while working on their project and they cannot wait to enjoy it.
The C's basement was, like many basements we see, a bit scary. Their basement was cluttered with old Halloween decorations and various forgotten household items. The C’s were worried about finishing their basement, they’d seen water down there and they worried about potential water damage to a finished room.
Total Basement Finishing products are DESIGNED for basements, meaning, they are designed to get wet, dry out, and resist mold and mildew. The C’s felt that with Total Basement Finishing, they could finish their basement, confident that their renovations would be secure. Check out their basement now!
A Westford, MA homeowner had a half finished basement. The family felt that the basement was usable... but only sort of. The space had musty carpets and no ceiling. The family wanted to spend time in finished rooms that weren't musty! Total Basement Finishing finished their basement beautifully. The musty carpet was replaced with one of our favorite products, the beautiful faux parquet floor. This vinyl tile looks just like real hardwood, but (unlike hardwood) it's safe for basements.
Yolanda and Juan contacted Total Basement Finishing, a Blackdog Affiliate, because they wanted to add more space to their Lowell home. The couple was lucky, their basement was pretty dry, they didn't ever have water issues! But one wet spring can create a problem, Yolanda and Juan wanted a basement they could count on, just in case things got damper than usual. Since Total Basement Finishing products are designed to withstand typical basement conditions, the Lowell homeowners felt secure in their choice of finishing products. Now Yolanda and Juan have the extra space for a workout room and clean storage. Yolanda tells us she's already got her treadmill set up!
Nell and Christopher wanted their basement finished. Total Basement Finishing, a Blackdog Affiliate, was working steadily on the project when one of our plumbers had a great idea. He recommended that Nell and Christopher opt to have their basement heat altered so that it was on a different zone. This creative thinking allowed Nell and Christopher to adjust heat in the basement without having to think about the remainder of the house. We all know basements can be colder than the rest of the home, even with the fantastically insulated walls from Total Basement Finishing! Now Nell and Christopher have a great new space for their home!
Many people see their unfinished basements as wasted space, if you don't already have windows in the basement, you can't create a new bedroom due to building codes... right? Wrong! At Total Basement Finishing, a Blackdog Affiliate, we are comfortable with creating egress windows for our clients. Bedrooms must have these windows to be considered bedrooms in real estate listings. David, a Chelmsford homeowner, really wanted to add more value to his home. Since almost nothing adds value like an extra bedroom, David was set on creating that space in his basement. We were prepared and there to help! Now David has his basement bedroom, and because it has an egress window, it's completely to code!
John, a Dracut homeowner, decided he wanted to finish his basement. He didn't want to go through the hassle of moving, but really wanted a media room, home gym, and more storage. When we first met with John, we were excited to check out his basement, but we noticed that he was dealing with some pretty low ceilings. We were concerned, but decided to take on the challenge of moving plumbing and electrical, to give John some additional height. Now John has the space he needs, without having to worry about hitting his head on low hanging pipes! If you have a similar situation and worry your basement might be unfinishable, give us a call, we can work with you to help figure it out.
Drew, a Carlisle homeowner, wanted to refinish his basement. He already had a semi finished basement, but wasn't too pleased with it. He was using the space as a home gym, but the ceiling was open, the floors had mold spots, and electrical was exposed. Drew was also experiencing water issues, and wanted to use materials that could withstand moisture. We started working with Drew to build his home gym and office space. Since our materials are designed specifically for basements, Drew doesn't have to worry about musty smells while he was working and working out. Now Drew has the space he needs to be productive in his home.
Michael's basement was filled with clutter. He was using the square footage to store old children's toys, gaming systems, and various paperwork. He wanted to get organized, but also to find a good space for all the toys and games his kids accumulated. After considering his options, he decided that it might be easier and more cost effective to finish his basement than to move. He reached out to Total Basement Finishing, a Blackdog Affiliate, with hopes of turning his cluttered space into a game room and family room. Now Michael's basement is clean, organized, and all those old toys are actually getting played with again!
Laurie had spent a good chunk of time online, investigating different basement finishing systems. She knew that her basement did occasionally see condensation and she worried that carpet and drywall might fail in the moist environment. Laurie found Total Basement Finishing, A Blackdog Affiliate, in her online search. She took the time to explore the finishing products and found herself really impressed. By the time Laurie reached out to us, she knew exactly what she wanted: a bathroom and family room that would stand up to moisture. We were only too happy to help! Laurie now has that family room and bathroom downstairs, and she didn't have to worry about adding an addition OR moving!
Leah, a Wilmington MA homeowner, has an extended family who lives very far away. When her family comes to visit, they end up staying for a month. Leah loves seeing her family, but she doesn't have a good place to host them. Leah wanted to be the perfect host and to give her guests a beautiful and private space in her home. To create the space for her family, Leah decided to finish her basement. Leah is adding a bathroom, a living area and a bedroom to her home! And Leah's guests will be ultra comfortable because their space will be warm, dry and it won't smell like a musty basement.
Ted, a Billerica homeowner, had a basement he hated. The space was really dated. It had red shag carpeting! And not the on-trend carpet we're seeing pop up in design blogs, but old musty mildew shag carpet. Ted wanted us to rip out that shag and create a clean and mildew free space to showcase his... taxidermy collection! Taxidermy is, as I'm sure you can imagine, super vulnerable to basement-like conditions. Ted wanted to be sure that his collection was displayed beautifully and that it was safe from environmental conditions. Our system is perfect for Ted because it is mildew resistant and really strong. Our wall panels are strong enough to support the heavy shelving Ted needs to showcase his collection. With Total Basement Finishing, Ted now has his dream space.
This is a recent basement finishing project we completed in Littleton, MA that features a stunning home bar, theater and seating area, recreational area, and bathroom. When wanting to expand your living space, why build up or out when you can make your basement look like this?
The homeowners wanted to create a space for entertaining friends and family: a home theater, bar and guest bathroom were a must. The space features our pre-finished wall system, elite plank flooring, Candlelight Cabinetry cabinets, and Top Line Granite countertops.
Are you and your family huge sports fans but struggle to find adequate space to host friends for the big game? Why not finish your basement with watching your favorite teams in mind?
A young couple in Tewksbury, MA asked us to finish their basement into an entertainment space specifically for watching their favorite sports teams. We utilized our pre-finished wall system and elite plank flooring for the project.
A family in Tewksbury, MA was having issues with keeping their walk out basement dry, and also wanted to create a finished livable space. We installed our mold-resistant and waterproof pre-finished wall system, grey thermal dry flooring, and added a SaniDry dehumidifyer to prevent future moisture problems.
This family was frustrated with the frequent water damage to their basement. To remedy, we first dried out the basement and installed a SaniDry system, then we installed our prefinished wall system, ThermalDry Elite Plank Flooring in "Pecan", and created an area for the whole family to enjoy.
This homeowner was tired of how cluttered and crowded their basement space had become and wanted to transform the space into a functional office and closet/storage space. We installed our pre-finished wall panel system and ThermalDry carpet flooring system, as well as added some walls to separate the space. The project turned out beautiful, and the homeowner was thrilled with their new office!
Work from home? Need more space for your office? This homeowner wanted to turn their unused basement into a finished at-home work station and additional storage area. We installed our pre-finished basement wall panels and ThermalDry Elite Plank Flooring in "Espresso" in the space, transforming the space into a productive work environment for the busy professional!
A new baby comes with lots of changes, and for this family in Dracut, MA, a change needed to be made—specifically to their unfinished basement! Thanks to Total Basement Finishing, their basement was transformed from dank and dingy, to a beautiful playroom and office space. TBF added Paintable Paneling, a Sani Dry system for lasting moisture protection and carpeted the stairway, which is a great choice for a family with children on the way. Additionally, nestled nicely under the stairs, the secluded desk space offers a zen work area, while the rest of the space is dedicated to fun and engagement!
Everyone wants a fun space to spend time in their home, and this included our clients in Acton, MA. Total Basement Finishing created just that! With TBF Paintable Wall Panels, Vinyl Flooring, PVC ceiling tile and a beautiful oak staircase, a stunning billiards and entertaining space was born. Because of the geographic location of their home, close to swampy marshland, the clients were also concerned about mold growth, but because of TBF’s patented paneling technology as well as a state-of-the-art Sani Dry system, the basement will stay dry and mold free.
Mold and water damage have been an age-old problem when it comes to basements, and sadly, this held true for our clients in Chelstard, MA. These clients had experienced significant mold and water damage which created structural problems in the walls and floor, as well as sagging ceiling tiles. Total Basement Finishing was able to completely transform the basement by first restoring the walls and flooring, and then by installing Everlast Elite Planking and linen ceiling tiles. We also equipped the space with a wet bar. The final space is perfect for everything from entertaining friends for happy hour to watching the football game on Sundays.
Not all remodels have to be fancy or expansive, sometimes you just want a slight change. A perfect example is this project from Melrose, MA. The client in question, simply did not enjoy the aesthetic of a concrete basement. The client still wanted to use the space for storage and utility, so Total Basement Finishing added in several partition walls around the mechanical and laundry area, installed LED lighting, and finished the whole thing with ceramic tiling. No more dusty concrete!
A Chelmsford, MA family live in a beautiful 1980s home with their son. Due to the lack of space in their home, they decided it was time to repurpose their basement and finish it into livable space.

For their gym area, TBF was able to create a space the couple could workout in. The entertaining and dining area is now perfect for them to host their friends and family!

Challenge: A couple living in Wayland, Massachusetts, have young children. The wife has a clear vision for her home, but no way to make it into a reality on her own. With her basement unfinished, it's the best opportunity to create a second living space.
Solution: We made an area for storage under the stairs for both the couple and their children, and made a small room to enclose their heating unit. We added white painted walls, and added three EverLast windows to encourage more light tin the space. This created the living space they wanted and gave their children space to play.
Challenge: Two women who have been best friends for years purchased a home together as an investment. The home is beautiful, with a large backyard and a basement walkway that leads to it. They would like to use their backyard and basement for entertaining their guests, but unfortunately, their basement is unfinished. This makes it one of the only places in the house in need of renovation. They have plumbing set up in the basement already, but no bathroom.
Solution: We finished their basement as one large space and a bathroom. To create a good layout, we had to move the plumbing to where the bathroom fit best. We built a simple wet bar, and matched the staircase in the basement to the existing staircase on the first floor. The two had Emtek door knobs throughout their house, so instead of installing our own, they had their locksmith install the same doorknobs after we finished the renovation. The two friends ended up with a beautiful space for entertainment, and a second bathroom which could be used by guests without having to go through the entire house.
Challenge: Not every great project is a big project. In the case of a family in Concord, Massachusetts, their basement had already been finished. This customer found our flooring products and immediately loved the quality and warranties that came with them. His basement was originally finished with carpet, which could have eventually been susceptible to mold and mildew. To avoid this, the customer thought ahead and found Total Basement Finishing, A Blackdog Affiliate.
Solution: We began this project by pulling up the carpeting that had been installed when the basement was previously finished. It wasn’t glued to the floor, which made removal quick and easy. In addition to installing our ElitePlank Flooring, we also finished a section of wall between the exterior door and bulkhead, which hadn’t been done before. The client was very happy knowing he had basement flooring to survive future flooding.
Challenge: A man who works in Cambridge, Massachusetts, has a home in Burlington, Massachusetts. Although he works long hours, in his free time, he likes to use his basement to work out. His basement was previously finished, but it’s damp and cold due to a lack of insulation. The old windows that look out under their deck are older and make it more difficult for the basement to retain heat.
Solution: To make this space into a well-insulated workout space, we started by adding a linen drop ceiling with LED lights. We then added our paintable EverLast paneled wall system and replaced his old windows with our own EverLast windows. We put our Grey Elite Plank flooring on the main area and upgraded carpeting on the stairs and risers. The client then painted their walls and doors. When the project was completed, we gave the client new windows that could be opened to let in the fresh air while he was working out. We also gave him a well-insulated, dry space.
A young couple lives in a house in Pepperell, Massachusetts. Although the husband works from home, he would like to find a quieter space to work during the day. The family has an unfinished basement, but they aren’t sure if it will be tall enough to finish and make into a usable space. The basement height was challenging, but a portion of the basement was tall enough at 6'8 to be finished following local regulations. The portion that was not tall enough to be converted into an office or bathroom was instead made into clean storage so that no portion would be wasted space. We used our vinyl EverLast panel wall system, and painted ceilings to preserve as much height as possible.
We installed MillCreek natural oak flooring, baseboard heating, and recessed can lighting. We also added a half bathroom and installed a sewage ejector, access panels, and decorative surrounds for their existing posts.
A couple with a newly built home in Winchester wanted to finish their basement. When they bought the house, they planned to finish it because of the large amount of square footage it could add to their home.
We began their finishing project with our EverLast wall system in white and finished the ceiling with over 1,200 2X2 foot linen ceiling tiles. We added new door knobs to their existing doors, canned recessed lights, and new outlets around the perimeter. They chose our ThermalDry flooring and electric baseboard heating. To keep the space dry, we installed a SaniDry XP air filtration system. This resulted in a nearly doubling the usable space in their home.
A family in Wayland, Massachusetts, decided to use our company to finish their basement. Previously, it was split into four sections, with one farthest from the stairs containing utilities. We finished three of these sections with our Everlast wall system, leaving the furthest corner for storage and utilities. We also added all new six-panel primed double doors and doorknobs to the space.
In the section containing the stairs to the first level, there was a door leading to the garage. This is where their children entered the house after school, so we added open railings and built benches, shelving, and seating. This resulted in an area for additional clean storage and new space for their children to hang their coats and book bags.
A nice couple in Westford, Massachusetts, decided to finish their basement. To balance the budget and the desired functionality of this project, the homeowners decided to finish half of the space, leaving the remainder for storage.
Around the perimeter, we used our inorganic vinyl EverLast wall panel system in white. Their existing doors were relatively new, so we left these, replacing only the doorknobs. We finished their ceiling with our 2 X 2-foot linen ceiling tiles and replaced their outlets, light switches, and jacks. We also added recessed can lighting throughout the space. Finally, we added MillCreek flooring in natural oak, leaving them with a sizeable addition to the square footage of their home.
A couple in Reading, MA, had a relative who finished her basement with us and loved the finished product as well as our system. Based on this, although their basement is already finished, they decided to update their space with our products. We began by refinishing their ceiling with our linen ceiling tiles. We then added baseboard electrical heating, recessed LED lights, and two new windows. We replaced their flooring with our grey ThermalDry Elite Plank flooring and laid grout and tiling in their bathroom. This resulted in a beautiful space that reflected the homeowner's style.
A couple in Acton, Massachusetts, are looking to finish part of their basement. They have a 14 X 12-foot space and an old window that badly needs replacing. Their walls, ceilings, and lighting also need to be changed. They considered both a painted ceiling and a hard ceiling for their project. The pricing for a painted ceiling is less than a hard ceiling and adds height to a space. However, it is not as clean of a look as a hard ceiling, making the choice dependent on what the homeowner is looking for.
A homeowner in Acton, Massachusetts, is looking to finish his basement. He would essentially like to use his extensive basement to add usable space to his home. This would include a full bathroom, kitchenette, recreational room, and closets for storage. He found us in an online search and appreciated the pictures available on our website of some of our finished projects. After a discussion about the details of his project, we gave him a more in-depth look at our choice of materials.
Homeowners in Bedford, Massachusetts, decided to add an entertainment space in their basement. We only finished half of the space, leaving the rest as dry storage. To finish the walls and flooring, we used our EverLast vinyl system in white and our ThermalDry plank flooring. We added modern doorknobs to their existing doors, changed out all of their switches and outlets, and added recessed can lighting. To make the space more cohesive, we installed decorative post surrounds to their weight-bearing posts and baseboard heating to make the space more comfortable. This resulted in a beautiful new space perfect for entertaining out on the patio beyond the basement.
A couple in Bedford, Massachusetts, would like to have a large part of their basement finished for entertaining. They would like a wet bar near the stairs, and will leave the rest of the room open for entertainment. The small portion they will leave unfinished will be used for storage.
We used our EverLast vinyl wall system in white with finished linen ceiling tiles. We added base electrical, all new outlets, and recessed can lights. We replaced the existing stairs with a hand rail and open mahogany railing in white trim. Finally, we added Thermal Dry flooring and electrical baseboard heat.
A couple in Townsend, Massachusetts, is looking to have two spaces created, one for the husband and one for the wife. The wife's section of the basement will contain an office space that will double as an entertainment area. The husband's space will be used as a music room. In the wife's space, we installed four electrical boxes on the wall, LED lights for entertaining, and espresso ElitePlank flooring. In the husband's section, we installed carpet stair treads, an additional thermostat to account for the large windows, and gray ElitePlank flooring. This resulted in a unique his and hers basement that suits each of their styles and personalities.
A couple recently closed on a new house, and the first project they'd like to tackle is finishing their basement. They turned it into three rooms: a utility room for their washer and dryer, an office, and a game room. We began by installing our vinyl wall system in white. We then added our linen ceiling tiles, base electrical, and recessed can lighting. We also put up a half wall to separate the utility room from the rest of the space and added MillCreek natural oak flooring. This was used in the office and game room, leaving the utility room floor in the original cement.
A man living in Townsend, Massachusetts, wants to finish his basement. He found us through an online search and decided to set up an appointment because of his interest in our EverLast vinyl wall system. Our vinyl wall system is a very popular option, especially in basements that have experienced dampness in the past. This is because the panels can be removed individually and provide easy access to wiring. At this time, finishing his basement is something he wants to be quoted but is not ready to complete.
This was an expensive project for a family in Boxborough, Massachusetts, due to the detail of the spaces we added in the large basement. The project included two living areas, a sizeable closet, a 3/4 bathroom, an office, and a portion left unfinished to be used for storage. The larger living space included an exterior door and a lot of natural light. The bathroom included Kohler products and a Foremost espresso vanity and countertop. The resulting space was beautiful and sizeable, with a lot of potential for entertaining, work, and daily use.
A homeowner in Boxborough contacted us after seeing one of our ads online. This brought her to our website, where she saw some of the photos of finished spaces from our gallery. She liked our system and wanted to add space to her home by finishing her basement. She wasn't looking for anything extravagant, just a nice, clean space that would last. We met with her, discussed her space, and gave her a quote for a simple finish. This gave her a good idea of what the project may cost, and while she would still like to have the basement finished in the future, this is not the best time for the investment. In the future, we may move forward with the project to give her the additional living space she is looking for.
COVID-19 presented unique challenges related to basement finishing. Although we had safety measures in place, a lot of jobs scheduled around 2020 were moved to a future date. This particular job was for a 550 sq foot basement, which the homeowner wanted to turn into a play and family area. The basement already had heating, making it a quick and easy job. Although this project was set to move forward at the beginning of the year, after careful consideration, they decided not to proceed when the news of the pandemic came out. Although the pandemic initially led to a lot of challenges in the industry, it also made us more adaptable to adding safety precautions for preventing the spread of illness. This is still relevant in the way that we work on projects today. Health safety is something we take very seriously, and that we take into account when planning a project, especially in a home with anyone who, for any reason, has added concerns about health and safety.
A young family in Billerica decided to have their basement finished. They had a growing family and needed additional living space. We started the project by adding our vinyl wall system around the space, including several composite shelves for storage. Next, we added all new doors with aged bronze knobs. We finished their ceiling with our linen 2'x2' linen tiles. To make the basement usable in the winter months, we added electrical baseboard heat. We also installed all new LED lights, carpeted the stairs, and ThermalDry ElitePlank flooring. Finally, we added a SaniDry XP system to keep the space dry.
We help homeowners with project sizes, big and small. For the property owner of an apartment complex in Woburn, his goal was to get more light into the basement so that anyone sleeping in the finished area would have suitable lighting. After evaluating the space, we only needed to demolish one interior wall, cut the foundation, and add one large egress window. This greatly improved the amount of light flowing into the space.

A couple in Winchester, Massachusetts, have been looking to finish their basement for a long time. They have decided to take the plunge and are very excited about getting into the construction phase. This project will include moving the location of an existing bathroom to allow for more space to be used for the main room. For this project, we are using our vinyl wall panels around the perimeter, including composite shelving spanning one wall to increase storage space. We will also be replacing their ceiling with two different styles. The first, which will cover most of the space, is our linen ceiling tiles. For the rest of the space, we will be painting the ceiling black to preserve height. In addition to the bathroom, we are also reworking their existing washer-dryer setup so they can continue to use the bathroom for laundry. Finally, we are installing our ThermalDry Elite Plank flooring in grey across the entire basement.
A family in Sudbury, Massachusetts, is looking to have their basement finished. Although they already have a portion finished and use it regularly, the unfinished segment is connected to the stairs, forcing them to walk through an unfinished area to get to the finished space. We will start the project by installing our paintable wall system around the perimeter and replacing their existing interior door with a 6-panel with nickel door knob. In the unfinished space, there are two existing windows, but they are completely blocked and do not allow light in. For that reason, we will be covering those windows and adding a new Egress in a portion of the basement to allow the most possible natural light in. For the flooring, we will be installing our ThermalDry Elite plank in grey across the whole area. For finishing touches, we will cover existing posts with decorative post surrounds, install recessed LED lighting, and add an open oak railing to the stairs. This will result in a beautiful space that blends well into their existing room.
A man contacted us after purchasing his new home in Sudbury, Massachusetts, about having his basement finished. He has a family and a few children who are now teenagers. Ideally, he would like to have the basement transformed into a multi-purpose space. This would give him a workout area and his children a place to spend time in the house. Although the homeowner had a busy schedule, we found a time for our initial consult and were able to take some detailed measurements of the space. With the upcoming move, this is not the right time to undergo a full basement finish, but after some time, they will have a plan of action for a brand-new and improved space.
A family in Sudbury, Massachusetts, is looking to create more space in their 2500-square-foot ranch. As this is an older home, a lot of work needs to be done to inspect the basement to see if it will be suitable as an additional living space. Living space, unlike clean storage, has a lot of requirements to be brought up to code. When we met for the first time, the scope of the project quickly expanded, and we created a design that included a bedroom, a 3/4 bathroom, and a wet bar. Since the scope had expanded, the family decided to put the project on hold until they could sustain a larger project. We scheduled a date to check back in and look forward to giving them their dream space soon.
A young family has a beautiful home in Belmont, Massachusetts. Before we started working on the space, they had the basement gutted to remove any existing asbestos. The space had an existing bathroom and plumbing, which we did not have to move to complete the project. Ultimately, they decided they wanted the bathroom updated and expanded, a laundry area, storage room, and shelving. We used our paintable wall system around the basement and added linen ceiling tiles. Next, we added decorative post surrounds to the weight-bearing beams in the home. Once that was finished, we installed recessed can lighting and natural oak flooring. Finally, we added shelving to create even more storage. This resulted in a beautiful, cohesive, and functional space.
