The decision to undergo a finished basement remodel in Omaha NE is not a decision to take lightly.

Any home project that involves construction and contractors is not a quick and impulsive choice, and there are many factors to consider.

Let Hawthorne Finished Basements be your guide! We don’t just see a basement, we see a future filled with memories shared during major life celebrations and the casual game day tailgate party.  It’s the place to hang out with friends, cheer on your favorite team, or wind down after a long day.

A finished basement serves as a retreat space for family movie night or cuddling up around the fireplace with a good book. When warm weather rolls around, it is the cool reprieve from those hot summer days spent in the backyard. And of course is the space that holds all the sleepovers, forts and tents, and makes the perfect canvas for hide and seek.

Memories are made here. Let us help you create them.

Below are lifestyle factors to consider when laying plans for your lower-level basement remodel Omaha NE.

Entertain often?

Then a wet bar and kitchen are a must. We’ll draft a blueprint that includes a full fridge, wine fridge, a wet sink, and even a microwave and dishwasher! Why lug all those dirty dishes upstairs when they can go right from the sink to load in your newly finished basement?

Avid sports fan?

Then TVs, and big ones, are sure to be the focal point of your basement. A room fit for you and your favorite fans, a killer AV setup will complete the ultimate viewing experience.

House full of kids and pets?

Flooring will be a major consideration in your finished basement plans. We suggest durable laminate vinyl for the kitchen and entertaining spaces and stain-free carpet for the living areas and walkways.

Is your Mother-in-Law moving in?

Incorporating a spacious guest room with an ensuite or full hallways bathroom are important features to consider in your plans.

But no matter your lifestyle, activities, or favorite ways to spend the weekend; egress windows are a must-have part of a finished basement.

Natural lighting is key in making sure your newly finished space doesn’t feel like a dark and dreary dungeon. Your finished basement should feel like an extension of your house and not a separate space you never want to step foot in.

You tell us what’s important and we make sure to incorporate it.

Unlimited design choices and home finishes can often feel overwhelming during a renovation. After all, this is a huge investment and you want the final result to be everything you’ve dreamed of. Plus not to mention, indecisiveness can slow the process down. So why not simplify it?
