Basement Finishing Before & After Photos

The basement in this Parkville, MD home had drywall damaged by water and mold growth. To begin, we removed the old drywall and repaired the foundation walls using carbon fiber wall straps. Then we installed the WaterGuard drainage system and TripleSafe sump pump to help prevent future water problems. We then installed Total Basement Finishing waterproof wall panels which are covered by a 50-year warranty against water and mold damage. Much better than drywall! We also finished the basement floors with ThermalDry flooring, which is designed specifically for basement conditions. Now the basement is dry AND comfortable!  

In this basement in Rosedale, MD, the floor was getting ruined due to water damage, which was then causing mold to grow. We removed the foundation floor to install our Elite Plank Flooring, which is created to provide a lasting solution for the basement. This special product gives a great finishing look and is completely inorganic, which doesn't allow water damage or mold build-up. 

Current customer was looking for help updating their partially finished basement, no plans for use in mind, just wanted it to be up to date. We said, No problem, you came to the right place.

To bring this basement up to date, we covered the block foundation walls with paneling the customer already had going throughout the basement, we installed a brand new linen drop ceiling and Lifeproof flooring.

A homeowner in Nottingham, MD had long envisioned transforming their basement into a finished, livable space, but persistent moisture issues kept getting in the way. Water intrusion not only made the area damp and uncomfortable, but also raised concerns about potential mold growth and long-term damage. Determined to protect their investment and finally move forward with their renovation plans, the homeowner contacted Quality 1st for a permanent and effective solution.

After a thorough inspection, our team recommended the installation of our patented EverLast Wall Panels, specially designed for the unique challenges of basement environments. These panels are made from durable, non-organic materials that resist moisture, mold, and mildew, making them an ideal choice for finishing lower-level spaces. Once in place, the EverLast System not only resolved the moisture concerns but also significantly improved the basement’s aesthetics and functionality. The homeowner now has a clean, dry, and attractive space they can confidently move forward with, knowing it’s protected for the long term.

This customer had a finished basement that they were looking to upgrade the flooring. Currently, the floor was wall to wall with beige carpet and they wanted to go for more of a hardwood floor look. Putting real hardwood floor in a basement is never a good idea, waterproofed or not, one pipe leak and that floor is ruined. Our inspector arrived at the property with some flooring samples and the winner was our ThermalDry Elite Plank flooring in Espresso.

Our ThermalDry Elite Plank flooring has a luxurious wood look and feel and is inorganic and water resistant. The flooring is also equipped with raised pegs that will suspend the planks above the cold, damp concrete floor, which can make the surface temperature up to 10 degrees warmer.
