CLIENTS NAME:  Thomas & Kari Walsh
PROJECT LOCATION:  Pelham, NY
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Complete gutting of existing "finished" basement, including the concrete floor slab!  The entire basement was excavated mainly to provide more headroom, but also to address the issues of moisture, as well as the floor being unleveled.  Over 40 cubic yards were hauled away!--  This now walk-out lower level features a custom built pine (to match existing furniture) wet bar with under counter refrigerator.  A soffit replicating the shape of of the bar was added to enhance the custom look.  Also built were a spacious powder room, a TV area and a completely redesigned laundry room.  Complete demolition and replacement of exterior concrete stairs and retaining walls to replace the existing "Bilco" door, accommodating the new French door was also necessary.  The new retaining walls were built further apart to accommodate larger, deeper 4' wide steps.  Retaining walls and steps were topped with flagstones.  All three windows were enlarged, and custom window wells also topped with flagstones were built.   Interior stairs leading to the above floor were also replaced with new ones.  Extensive lighting and electrical work, as well as plumbing work was also part of the scope of work.  The entire ductwork layout was replaced and reconfigured.  The new lower level was finished with nice 20" "Jerusalem Gold " tiles.  Please see the 'before & after' floor plan to fully appreciate the transformation!
