Basement finishing

The nationals average labor cost to finish your cellar is estimated to be around 16$ per sq. foot. Usually, the labor fees are included in the budget and can take up to 40% of its worth. For example, for a middle-sized basement of 1000sq feet, labor cost will be around 16000$. This expense is for all qualified labor – plumbers, electricians, installation masters, and carpenters. With the more complicated project, the more expert help needs to be provided, leading to higher costs.

The average cost to install walls separating your basement into different rooms can seem not so high, with a total price between 4$ and 5$ per sq. foot, including materials and drywall, installed and ready to paint. We remind you that the area of your future walls is calculated vertically, not horizontally. Toloka Corporation frames your basement with a wood framework, preparing walls for insulation, adding wiring and plumbing if your project requires it. The last layer is the drywall, which can be painted, decorated with stucco, wallpaper, or wood laps. For example, the cost to frame an average-sized basement about 1000 sq. feet can rise to 1000$ just for framing and drywall materials.

Toloka Corporation will choose appropriate insulation for you, as it is the essential part of your basement. It helps to control the temperature at the cellar and house overall and makes it more soundproof. Moreover, adequately chosen insulation will help you with moisture control and will prevent mildew. Most of our basement projects were perfectly made with foam isolation because it doesn’t let the air through, so there won’t be any condensation, which can damage your concrete walls.

We provide the best drywalls from well-known and qualitative manufacturers, moisture-resistant, easy-to-paint, and easy-to-clean. A price range starts from 11$ for a standard panel and can rise to 25$. Our workers are qualified and experienced to work with paperless drywall, cement board drywall, purple, blue, and green drywall, so feel free to choose any material you will be comfortable with. In order to drywall your basement and add a finish to it, the price starts around 1.60$ per sq. foot, including labor and materials.

When it comes to installing a new drywall ceiling in your basement, it may look that the price should be the same as the price for walls. However, every cellar ceiling requires particular joints to be properly fastened, and we add fiberglass insulation to keep warm and fireproof. Moreover, the proper installation cost may be higher, as it requires additional labor and equipment for the best result. We make sure that your ceiling will be done with the best materials and qualified professionals, so you don’t have to worry about anything. One of the most popular ceilings types is wood and tile surfaces, adding a more natural and bright look to the room, with a middle-cost range. For those, who prefer something less complicated and more budget-friendly, we strongly recommend popcorn ceilings. It is the perfect homely option that you can find in almost every house all over the country.

Toloka Corporation, as a licensed General Contractor and Builder, strongly suggests vinyl or laminate flooring for your basement. We have considerable experience in floating floor installation, which is suitable for the concrete layer underneath the surface. Such covering will allow changes caused by moisture and ground temperature in the concrete. We also provide scoring and polishing services for the existing basement concrete. Our workers can paint the flooring with epoxy, which can be a better idea than just polishing it. Most of the homeowners choose to cover their basement with tiles, laminate, linoleum, and hardwood. These options are also available when you select Toloka Corporation.

Nowadays, most of the kids are interested in new games and play them all the time. Moreover, some statistics show that a great half plays games at least a couple of times a week. When we say “game,” it doesn’t necessarily mean “computer games.”It can become a special place for board and card games. A basement is a perfect place for gaming systems, relaxing couches, loud subwoofers, and speakers: it is soundproof and has an atmosphere of a “special” and “hidden” place, where you can relax after a long day of work.

Today, you can’t surprise anyone with a home theater, as it has become a standard solution for the basement area. However, such systems are still amazingly popular, as the size of a TV screen is getting more significant, and sound systems are becoming more realistic and affordable for anyone. Toloka Corporation will be happy to help you create a special place where you can spend your time with your family while enjoying a film.

We offer to create hidden cabinets and passageways in your basement for those still young at heart or just want to hide from the rest of the world. We think they can be a perfect place for a small library or for a workshop, where you can enjoy your time, working or learning something new.

There is no need to transform your whole 1000sq. feet basement into a laundry room, but it still can be a perfect addition to it. Even a small area can add hangers for fresh clothes, storage shelves, baskets, washing machines, and dryers. Moreover, we think you would want to have a sink to wash mud or stains before throwing clothes in the machine.
