Another Complete Basement Remodel in Melrose, MA
A Complete Basement Transformation in Melrose, MA
Basements are often the most underutilized square footage in a home—usually relegated to storage bins and cobwebs. But for this Melrose family, we saw a blank canvas. Larry Gamst and the New England Painting and Contracting team recently wrapped up a massive, top-to-bottom basement renovation that turned a cold, unfinished space into a multi-functional living area that feels just as bright and inviting as the rest of the house.
Expanding the Footprint of the Home
This wasn't just a "paint and floor" job; this was a complete structural and mechanical overhaul. To ensure the space was comfortable year-round, we started with all-new insulation and a significant mechanical upgrade: converting the home from oil heating to natural gas.
With a solid foundation in place, we carved out dedicated zones to meet the family's needs:
- The Guest Suite: We added a private, legal bedroom with egress.
- The Full Bath: A stunning addition featuring a walk-in shower with high-end tile work and gold-tone fixtures.
- The Workspace: A quiet, dedicated home office.
- The Playroom: A large, open area with durable flooring perfect for kids and toys.
- The Modern Laundry: No more "basement vibes" here! We installed custom sage-green cabinetry, butcher block countertops, and a classic farmhouse-style utility sink.
The Finishing Touches
To keep the space feeling airy, we installed recessed LED lighting throughout and chose a warm, wide-plank wood-look flooring that ties the rooms together. The custom woodwork on the staircase and the crisp white trim work provide that "New England" polished look we are known for.
Whether it’s a place for the kids to play, a quiet spot to work, or a comfortable room for guests, this Melrose basement is now a true extension of the home.
