Before & After Photos

This Northampton, MA homeowner reached out to Fogarty's Home Services to update their basement from a bare and uninviting space into a beautiful, comfortable living space. We provided an excellent solution to the our homeowner. This previously uninsulated, neglected space and turned it into a a more energy efficient area of the home that can be fully furnished and used to exponentially increase the living area in the home without adding an addition. Not only did we finish our homeowner's basement to their desired results, but we also delivered a beautiful finished product that they can be proud to show off for years to come. This space went "From Basement to Beautiful"! 

This homeowner in Northampton, MA reached out to us hoping that we would be able to help her finish her basement. She wanted to finish her basement to accommodate her family and add more living space.

Fogarty's Home Services was up to the task! We first demolished and removed what was in the basement -- including removing the old insulation. We then re-insulated the basement. We built out the framing, installed the electrical and plumbing, and then added our Everlast™ wall panels. We finished the stairs as well. We then installed our ThermalDry™ elite plank flooring in the color "espresso", our darkest color. We replaced the old basement windows with brand new ones that were much more energy efficient. We added a drop ceiling and ceiling lights. We then installed a SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier, put on the finishing touches, and we were done! Now, this homeowner is so excited to have a beautiful new basement!  

When this homeowner in West Springfield, MA called us, it was in regards to a special request. She wanted to make a home movie theater in the basement for her husband. Of course, Fogarty's Home Services was up to the task. 

When we arrived, we were met with a semi-finished basement. In the area that they wanted to put the home theater, all you can really see were the bare concrete floors, gray walls, and a projector screen.

Luckily, our team was able to put in modular, ThermalDry™ plank flooring. In order to keep this as dark as possible, they chose the darkest possible color -- espresso. The flooring is waterproof and easy to clean, meaning that if someone spills soda, it will be okay. We also were able to install black linen drop ceiling tiles to complete the look.

This is no longer a bare, cold room -- it has turned into a theater that their family will be able to utilize for decades, and is something that will add value to their home. 

This homeowner in Southington, CT called us stating that his home's radon level came out to 9 pCi/L. This is higher than the EPA's radon action level of 4 pCi/L, which concerned him quite a lot. He wanted to install a mitigation system in order to lower his levels as soon as possible. Our radon measurement specialist came out to the home and identified the best spot for the mitigation system.

We were able to help this customer. We installed a radon mitigation system in his home. We began by drilling the holes in the basement -- both in the concrete slab in the bottom and the hole for the exterior penetration. He then began installing the pipes and secured them inside the basement. He installed the manometer on the pipe on the inside of the home. The manometer measures the pressure of the radon in the system, indicating whether or not it is functioning correctly. After that, he went outside to build the rest of the system. He installed the fan on the outside of the home. Once the system was installed, he went back inside, sealing around all of the cracks and gaps in the basement. He also sealed all of the holes that had been drilled for the system. Now, this homeowner has a system designed to keep the radon levels in his home low! 

This homeowner in Westhampton, MA called us hoping that we would be able to help her with her radon mitigation system. She wanted to sell her house, however, the radon system they already had installed was non-functioning. She stated that at one point, the system became quite noisy, so she shut it off. When she went to turn it back on, it would not start. 

We were able to help this customer. We replaced her old, non-functioning radon fan with a new one. We utilize many different radon fans depending on many different factors. This home required our Festa AMG Maverick fan. Now, this homeowner has a functioning radon mitigation fan, and she will feel confident listing her home on the market!
