Learn how to finish a basement from start to finish with this DIY basement renovation guide! This video shows the entire process of renovating a basement (framing the basement walls, installing electrical, installing drywall, installing LVP flooring, etc.). This basement remodel took me nearly two months to complete since I was doing all of the work myself on nights and weekends. Although renovating the basement was a lot of work, I learned a lot of DIY and home renovation skills process of finishing my basement. I share all of my knowledge and lessons learned during the basement finishing process with you in this video!
This basement renovation started with demolishing the existing walls, drywall, etc. Next, I installed rigid foam insulation on the exterior walls of the basement. Rigid foam insulation is waterproof and a great option for basement exterior wall insulation. To install the basement walls, I framed them using 2"x4" lumber. I used pressure treated lumber for the bottom plate for the basement walls. Basement insulation consisted of batt insulation in the walls and sound proofing insulation in the ceiling to reduce the sounds of footsteps above. I installed drywall in the basement and then finished it using joint compound and drywall tape. Finishing the drywall was my least favorite part of the entire basement remodel. Next, I installed Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) flooring on the basement floor. LVP is a great flooding option for basements since it is waterproof, durable, and easy to install. Instead of installing drywall on my basement ceiling, I decided to install a drop ceiling. The basement drop ceiling installation was a bit involved, but I wanted to install it since it would allow for access to the plumbing and electrical cable in the ceiling. To complete the basement remodel, I painted the basement walls and installed trim around each basement room. Let me know what you think of the final result!

@abcdefghijklmnop514 11 месяцев назад

If anyone is looking to finish an old basement the only recommendation I would have as a GC is if your insulating the walls like that space them away from the cinder blocks and also use a dri core subfloor system. old basement were not meant to be finished so there is not water barrier or division system on the outside. You will get water in your basement so leaving an air gap for it to drain is crucial otherwise it’ll start molding and smelling bad. And sure you could get lucky and never have any water problems but with an old basement like that and all the TLC, why risk it for a few extra hundred bucks to include those systems.

@gatolibero8329 11 месяцев назад

My thoughts exactly. I feel he didn't do enough to protect the walls and floor from moisture.

@jforrest2140 10 месяцев назад

There are so many different ways to skin this cat. Through all of my research, the best way to ensure success at least on the walls is to ensure that the foundation was appropriately waterproofed from the outside with external french drain system. If you are worried about moisture in your walls, then do the right thing and prevent it from being there by doing the proper external waterproofing (dimple board systems, tar, french drain, sump pit, sump, gravel backfill, landscape fabric to seperate dirt and rock, etc). Don't bother with painting your walls with waterproofing on the inside or doing inside or subfloor installed french drains. If you have the wall waterproofing down the next best recommendation is silicone closed cell foam to the walls and taping the seams to minimize or eliminate the airgap between the wall and insulation. At this point you are trying to minimize inside air temperature and humidity from mixing with the temperature fluctuations of the blocks...in other words, stopping condensation and eventual mold growth. For the floors, yes you can do the dri core or whatever other brands there are if you want to lay hardwood floor. Personally, I'd never floor a basement. Paint it if you must with a concrete paint but then just throw some area rugs down. Maybe you would be okay with a wall to wall carpet if if can breathe enough. You are right though, basically any house pre-1990, you aren't supposed to finish like he did because of the amount of water that's in the slab. But again, I think a lot of it can be minimized through appropriately moving water on the outside of a house to a sump. Stop inviting water INTO your homes with internal french drains.

Agreed. My home was built in 1957 & I bought it 4/2023 & just experienced my first flood last week. I kept the concrete & painted it grey & put some rugs on it. I do want to finish the walls & leave the ceiling exposed but idk. May just paint the walls white, ceiling black & call it a day

@nealwright5630 11 месяцев назад

This was a great build-out! I was skeptical about the suspended ceiling, but it looks great, and is practical as it allows access to the space above. I don't know why builders don't just build their basements with 9' ceilings. It would save so much headache!

@JasonEllingsworth 10 месяцев назад

one day you might regret that treated lumber on the concrete. I did that in my late 20's, and now in my early 40's I am pulling up black mold. I learned the importance of using a product like dampro or DMX 1-step as a vapor barrier for the floor, and run it up to the foam on the walls, then covering that with osb (or plywood if you're rich), and adding your finished flooring to that. You build all walls on top of that osb flooring. If you ignore this step, you will gather moisture slowly over time and it will never dissipate. Need that continuous air space from under the floor, to behind the foam, and straight up to your joist tails and band board, where the lumber will draw in the air vapor and wick it outside of the space.

Depending on your area, you probably need to have floating walls in your basement by code, due to slab shifting. The wall only gets connected to the baseplate by a couple 6 inch nails thru the wall framing.

@jimbonevideo6941 11 месяцев назад

When wiring electrical add a "service loop" and keep about a foot of excess line looped above the box. Then if there is an issue in the future, or more likely you damage the wiring during drywall or install, you have some excess wire you can pull through the box and don't have to take down drywall.

Can you fill in gaps between the drywall and framing with something like construction adhesive? I am afraid of cracking or screw pops if I don’t….seems so halfazzed. Also one of my prehungs from homedepot has a twisted and warped frame….I guess a guy has to be super picky at these stores. I didn’t think an mdf door frame could twist and bend so much, and its impossible to twist and bend back.

@andrewcarr2431 9 месяцев назад

Fantastic video. Your project came out great. Always check your local codes if doing your own construction, the inspectors are there to keep you safe, not be a pain in the ass. I've had more professional contractors get failures on my jobs than when I actually did it myself, not claiming to be perfect but you can take your time and check your work as you go when you are using free labor. And best tip is to try and think ahead. Once your framing is done, put on your drywall cap and go around checking for Nailer boards, then put on your tv mounter hard hat and plan for blocking. Makes it so much easier to have timber behind the wall and not use it, than to not have it and be messing around with various anchors or fasteners when the wall is painted, and room completed. Including my own 2cents after doing my own basement reno. you can use your leftover scraps of foamboard under the bottom plate to act as a thermal break between the concrete and the timber. At the very least use sill gasket or tape to increase the life of the timber and avoid moisture wicking up from the concrete. A "Ramset" gun is classed as a firearm, so be comfortable and safe when using. And if you are going to be doing a lot of stick framing, invest in a laser distance measure, it will give you a perfect length every time. If you leave your jack stud out of the doorways you can cut out the threshold using the circular saw as the distance from the side of the plate to the blade is exactly 1.5 inches (same thickness as dimensional 2 by lumber), then stick your jack stud in to complete the frame. Don't forget to reduce your blade depth accordingly. Hang drywall horizontally whenever possible, it adds shear strength to the wall as well as making it easier to tape and finish, unless it makes sense to use a whole board vertically. no seams are best and personally a couple of vertical factory seams are better than a single butt joint. Like your use of a spacer (scrap bit of drywall) to maintain a minimum 1/2" gap between the floor and drywall, especially on concrete floors. A lifter and basic drywall tools do speed up the job, especially when working alone (i've hung a lot of drywall...) A drywall T-Square is also the exact width of an electrical box (if you didn't know?), you can use that to mark and cut out, but your method worked quite well too! try not to screw too near electrical boxes, they get a lot of abuse when plugging cords in and out therefore prone to "nail pops". I love plastering, although my joints don't anymore so would have happily done your basement for you :-). All of these tips I learned the hardway :-).

Add soft led light strings up at the top edges of the ceiling for movie nights and romance. Also, on the stair treads, the dark color when the lights go out will be hard to maneuver. Add a strip of reflective tape for those emergencies when the electric is out and also will add some extra slip proof protection. Just a V shape in the middle of each will be nice. Make it look like the landing strip on an airfield xD

@offdabeatz 5 месяцев назад

If you own the home then technically yes you can build out your basement. If you are looking to have insurance coverage for any issues caused by the work then no. You need to pull permits and have the work signed off that it meets code. Most places require it done through a licensed and insured professional. Any work you have done the business doing the work can pull all the necessary permits so just hire someone.
