Basements

Well-planned and beautifully adorned lower-level spaces are more than just extensions of usable space in our homes. For many homeowners, the basement is a space that represents comfort and enjoyment—an environment for relaxing, unwinding, indulging, socializing, and entertaining. At Sawhill, our approach to every basement finishing and remodeling project centers around the concept of creating a retreat that reflects our homeowners in the best possible way.

From transforming unfinished blank canvases with impeccable design to modernizing previously finished spaces to meet the needs of growing families, Sawhill offers basement remodeling services in St. Paul that take great pride in cleverly addressing the unique needs of basement design including lighting, space planning, and access.

Reimagining Your Basement

Some of the most popular basement remodeling ideas include adding a guest room, storage space, home office, or a playroom for kids. Additionally, in the contemporary era of purpose-driven design, many homeowners are choosing to finish or convert their lower levels into multi-functional spaces accommodating several aspects of work, life, and play—such as guest retreats, wet bar and entertaining areas, game rooms, home theaters, spa-like bathrooms, home gyms and even golf simulators.

Increasing Your Living Space and Property Value

If you’re thinking of remodeling your basement, you’re likely to have many questions pertaining to everything from budget to design. You may also be wondering whether a basement remodel is a worthwhile investment. A mindful interior design team can offer guidance here, too.

From a practical perspective, finishing your basement not only amplifies the amount of usable living space in your home, but also allows you to dictate exactly how that space will be used based on your unique preferences, lifestyle, and other individual aspects. As such, it has the extraordinary potential to improve how you live in your home….and you simply can’t put a price on quality of life.

From a financial perspective, a basement remodel is also advantageous. Depending on the specifics of your remodel, an enhanced basement has the potential to increase your property’s value. In addition to generating higher returns, it can also help you sell your property faster. An experienced interior designer can help you identify the remodeling choices that will make the most sense in terms of dollars and cents while also fulfilling your goals for the space, and even provide financing resources for your project.

Choosing a Basement Remodeling Service

You may also be wondering how to choose the best basement remodeling services in Minneapolis and nearby areas. Basements have unique considerations, such as moisture, electrical work, plumbing, heating and cooling, and lighting. This is why selecting a firm with specialized experience with basement remodeling services is critical. The right design team will guide the entire process, including handling all logistics, communicating with basement remodel contractors, offering basement remodeling tips, managing the budget, and more.

However, less tangible elements also go into the process of choosing the best design team for your basement remodel in St. Paul and its surrounding areas. That’s why it’s also essential to seek out an interior designer or design team with the ability, empathy, and resources to assess your needs, understand your goals, and articulate your vision into an executable design that will exceed your expectations in every way.
