great video..
You do very nice work. Thanks for posting. Definitely stealing some of these ideas for my own basement finish!!
Thanks Jon! Good luck with your basement project! Happy New Year!
Eddie
You too, Eddie!
Can you show a video on how to frame the 135 degree angle on the wall shown to the left of the closet? (7:15)
WOW! That's absolutely beautiful! What kind of wall insulation treatment is that in the before views?
+sidior12 Thanks. That's called wall wrap insulation...a lot of builders are installing this now on new builds.
Eddoe
Beautiful work. Only one bit of advice learned the hard way. When you build a closet to hide water pipes, make sure they don't interfere with the heating. I made this mistake and on a really cold day, the pipe burst. The solution was to use a louvered door that let the warm air in to prevent freezing.
Good point!
Great job guys, Wish I can hire you to finish my basement
Try it yourself mate, check my video out. I had no experience before
Nice stuff!
Thanks Tom...
Lovely finishing. What water management/protection is in place ?
Hi Eddie, another great video. where did you relocate your light switches at the bottom of the stairs?
Hi Ron! We relocated them to the wall directly in front of you when you reach the base of the steps.
Eddie
is that were a crawl basement? i really would love a job like that in my big crawl basement...
Man wish u could do my basement.. great job!!
You do it yourself Raymond, check my video out and believe in yourself brother
That looks really nice and I love the colors. Shame they didn't opt for crown with such high ceilings.
Thanks Matt...We do crown if they want it...they didn't! Thanks for watching brother! ~Eddie
really nice job :)
+Sara Pause Thanks You Sara!
Eddie
Can you please make a video on how to make that tv wall?
I am about to buy a house that has the drain from the basement leading outdoors. there is no sump pump. what do you think about this setup? Do you have any suggestions about finishing a basement like that? thanks
wow that looks excellent..good idea on hiding the electrical panel by placing a door in front of it..Excellent video also!
I love it, thanks for sharing,
Thanks for watching and commenting Leslie!
Eddie
Basement Finishing Man do u service New Jersey?
No we don't go that far from Harrisburg PA M Rod. Wish we could, but it's just to far to manage from home base!
Eddie
Basement Finishing Man would have have any recommendations, need my basement finished asap.
I do not know any local basement company's in your area M Rod...I wish I did so I could recommend a few to you. I would get 3 estimates to start and check all of their project references and go from there. Thanks for the views!
Eddie
Hi, do you have any videos on how to have natural light in a basement? I love your designs.
try my video Patty
Is it to code to put an electrical panel box in a small closet like you show?
very nice Sir.
+loadi2 Thanks!
Eddie
Hi Eddie great work wow I am looking to do a basement in gilbertsville pa not far from limerick pa
Hi TJ! Awesome brother...You looking to do it yourself or hire a basement contractor? Either way good luck with the project!
Eddie
Basement Finishing Man hi I am looking to hire a contractor do u know anyone in this area
Wish my basement looked like that
Located in Dover, PA, my unfinished basement is about the same size and layout. What's the average cost to finish a basement that size? Was thinking about leaving the ceiling exposed to create the industrial look painting it black.
My furnace sits right smack center in my basement. How would you handle that obstacle
How did yoi brought the drywall to the basement? I have the same staircase and stuck at this stage of planning
Beautifully done..where are you based out of
Great video and lots of great ideas. I'd like to suggest that the stair railings at 13:09 may not meet code in many areas that follow the 2003 IRC.
"311.5.6.2 Continuity. Handrails for stairways shall be continuous for the full length of the flight, from a point directly above the top riser of the flight to a point directly above lowest riser of the flight."
The inspectors in my area, at least, are very specific about interpreting "continuous" to mean "without removing one's hand."
I suppose opinions may vary! :-)
gbondy True in a lot of places around the globe...International BOCA Codes would dictate this very thing...but not in our township.
Eddie
thats alot of work , especially for an in experience person. lol you say it can be done DIY but man. great work, just so intimidating
Anything worth doing takes a little time and effort : - ,) You can do it with the training and guidance. Good luck with your projects! Thanks for the views!
Eddie
well said. Thanks.
Any use if Pocket or Barn doors? When Basement HVAC is upgraded why not seal all HVAC ducts lines to LEED standard. Residential standard for HVAC has 20% leakage when only screwing the ducts together!
Nice finish. Having said that, I would have finished even the storage area also. Personal choice, of course, but why not? It’s only cubic dollars, and you can’t take it with you, so live it up while you can?
Hi Eddie, great work and demos. Do you know anyone you'd recommend in Delco, Pa just 7 mi. west of Philadelphia? We have a 900 sq ft. basement unfinished.
Hi Michael! No...I'm not familiar with that area I'm sorry...wish I was closer to you!
Eddie
Not if you build directly around the panel itself. I have also found that Local code offices differ on what they will accept on this matter as well Michael.
Eddie
Wow that job came out great. What type of floor did you use?
+A&J Heating It's a typical synthetic vinyl tongue and groove mildew resistant floor from Home Depot designed to look like a wood floor.
Eddie, when building the wall with the door in front of the electrical panel does it need to be build out farther then your standard 4 1/2 inch from the block wall so the door will be able to close?
Yes Joe. You can do a "bump-out" section of wall where the panel located or just move the whole wall out. I like to stay 8" away where there is a panel box. ~Eddie
Some good basement design Ideas for you in this Video! Don't forget to Like the Video if you find it useful for your project!

@22:21 Tom is jack hammering out the floor to install a missing tub drain .. if the
1 1/2 inch tub drain pipe was already installed; could you use it also for a shower drain or would it need to be adapted to 2 inches?
DTCigarFather Showers should be a 2" drain line...they also need trapped in 2" as well Cigar Father: - )
I have a very similar stairwell going into my basement (with 9 ft ceilings). The stairwell has a 90 turn with a landing and the basement ceiling ends about about 1/3 of the way up. I don't have an exterior stairwell going into the basement. Am I going to be able to get 9' sheetrock and 9' 2x4's down those stairs and around that turn without an exterior access?
+Jeff Lagana Yes Jeff that will not be a problem! Bring your 2" x 4"'s straight through the basement windows it's sooooooo much easier and quicker.
Eddie
wow nice wish u live close to me for you could remodel my basement It came out nice.....
Thanks Lucy! Goos luck with your basement project...we're here if you have questions.
Eddie
In your "ceiling scape" section (16:05), i see an air-vent in the duct-work during the before portion, it isn't there when the soffit is finished. How did you remove and cover the hole?
+sross002 A piece of sheet metal, self tapping screws, and duct foil tape is all you need to seal up existing holes in duct work. If you want to get fancy, you can even add some duct mastic to make it leak proof.
Do you remove the plastic from the studs before dry walling or Do you just put the dry wall over it ?
If your referring to the basement wall wrap that was existing, we just leave it behind the new framed walls untouched. It's good insulation, usually with an R-11 insulation rating we just don't mess with it. Hope this helps you. Good luck with your projects!
Eddie
That work looks outstanding how long did the work take and what type of cost for the complete project?
+Radicxs4 Thanks! It took 4 weeks and right around $28,000 complete.
Eddie
+Basement Finishing Man thanks for the information.
Eddie I have a question I cant seem to get the same answer from many different builders. What is the correct "layering" for insulation and framing? I cant seem to get a common answer on where to put the vapor barrier (if at all), what type of insulation I should use for my basement walls. My house was built in the 50's, cinder block foundation, and i plan to have a water system track installed before i finish.
Hi Sarah! Use Drylock on the block walls before framing exterior walls. Then frame and insulate with R-13 batts w/ no vapor barrier. Vapor barriers cause more mold conditions than they have ever prevented.
Eddie
Thanks so much for clearing that up! So many mixed suggestions.
Can you cut a new window through a basement wall for extra natural lighting?
Will you add this job to the University website? It would be good to see some fresh material.
+sross002 Yes that is a definite! Thanks for becoming a Basement Finishing University Student. Talk to you inside!
This was so awesome! I've watched a few of your videos, your work always comes out looking perfect. What price range am I looking at to get a basement finished similar to the size seen in this video?
This basement was in the $35.00 per sq/ ft. range.
Eddie
Good job what state
How are you Eddie, thank you for posting all the videos first of all! I would like to ask you if you can recommend me someone here in Canada (Vaughan, ON) to do my basement please (1600-1800 sq. ft.) Regards
+P JC Hello...Your welcome! I wish I lived closer I would love to do it myself! Unfortunately I am not able to recommend anyone as far away from me as Vaughan, ON. I would recommend getting at least 3-4 estimates from reputable basement contractors or general remodeler's who have good track records and go from there...Make sure you personally inspect their work and speak directly to the past clients to get the real story about each contractor!
Good luck with your finished basement project...I am always here if you want to run something by me!
Eddie
I know this was a while ago but what did you use for the flooring in this basement? It looks great!
Hi Sam! This was I believe Lifeproof Flooring Synthetic vinyl planks from Home Depot.
Eddie
Hi Eddie, I’m agree with Sam absolutely love this flooring. Im going to seek it out. You mentioned the brand is LifeProof (confirmed?) but do you also know model? Was it Mount Shuksan Oak 6.5”?
Please can you recommend someone in Crofton MD?
Hello Desola! I'm very sorry but I do not no anyone personally ion that area that I could recommend...being based out of Hershey PA we do not work with anyone that distance from our work territory. I would start by getting 3 or 4 estimates from reputable remodeling contractors in your area that specialize a part of their business in basement finishing. Good luck with your project!
Eddie
Should the air supply ducts be insulated before they are framed in? What's your take on that?
We use an insulated "flex" heat feed line that requires no insulation. But...if your using uninsulated metal runs for your heat runs you should insulate...it really just depends on what type of feed-run material you are using Ben.
Eddie
I was wondering about the existing main air supply trunk in the video that is wider... Not one of the feeds. It didn't look like you were insulating them.
These feed trunks in my videos are all an insulated duct-board type that has a fiberglass layer in place. These do not need any additional insulating.
Great video, what’s square footage of basement?!
Finished around 800 sq.ft.
My ceiling is only 7' to the floor joists, so would you still recommend soffits for the ductwork? A soffit would mean a 6' ceiling in those areas. Also, doesn't finishing the ceiling trap the warm air in the basement rather than sending it to the floor above?
+Dan Olson Yes soffit the ductwork...they will be lower but it's the way to go! They will probably be 6'-4" or so when done. Yeah it keeps the basement warm and that's what you want! You don't want to lose your basement heat through the floor.
Eddie
Okay. I have exposed brick in the upper floor, which doesn't retain heat as well so I've been using the basement heat to assist with heating the upper floor.
Great ideals looking to do this but my home isn't new its 60 years old!
Hi Blue Kitty! 60 years or 100 years old it can finished and look GREAT! Good luck with your project.
Eddie
My basement was older Blue kitty, it can still be done mate. check my video out
Wow, when the builder didn't connect the drain line in the shower does the whole house fall into a sink hole? Really nice job on those basement stairs
otherstuffbybob Lol!!!
I like that green color. What's it called?
+Steve Wallo Green...Lol! Not sure the homeowners picked it and sticked it!
How much would its cost for 960sqft?
Tom is Jacking right here LMFAO
How mucha work like this cost?
Hey Eddie, do you have any youtube videos showing how you created that extended door jamb on the inward opening door?? The way I have mine framed out (before I saw this video) I have 3 inches of space all around the door which will have to be trimmed out like a picture frame! I think it's going to look very unprofessional and would rather use your technique. Hope you can help :/
Hi Steven...I do inside the BFU(Basement Finishing University) in the exterior window and door trim video. basementfinishinguniversity.com/join/
Eddie
Ok, thank you for the response.
sacaría
marc Anthony
What??? Who?
Exceptional basement. Can I ask what this entire project cost? Labor and all?
Around 55K at the time...it would be more today with the inflated building material prices. ~Eddie
What type of recess lighting fixtures did you use in the soffit?
Hi Jason! We used 6" recessed lights where ever we could fit them up in between the duct work!
👍
I thought I hear in one of your videos you need 3ft in front of a panel box? Is that 3ft in that closet?
That’s not a closet in this basement it’s just an access door to the panel box so it’s code.
@@BasementFinishingMan thanks! And thanks for all these videos. I’ve been watching them for about 5 hours getting ready to start framing my basement. You are a godsend!
@@Andolini662 Thanks brother! Good luck with the basement project! ~Eddie
is their a bedroom attach
+Dwain Punnett No not in this basement Dwain.
About how much would that job cost without the bathroom??
+33alife $25.00 to $30.00 per sq. ft. depending on several different design variables.
Eddie
Do you work in philly and surroundings?
Hi Sam! THanks for your interest in pour basement finishing service...unfortunately we do not come that far from harrisburg towards Philly area at the present time.
Eddie
....So THAT'S how it's done......
Yep!
First tip Question - is that laminate flooring in a basement? seems scary for water
+john stempinski Yep! And it's made just basements and the higher than usual moisture levels and even an occasional "act of God" basement flooding scenario
Eddie!
+Basement Finishing Man what!?!? Can I ask the brand and type, it looks great and I'd love to put in my basement. Currently prepping walls for covering
It called Resilient and it's made by Shaw. They have a few different shades of color as well. You can get it at Lowes. Home Depot also has their brands of synthetic flooring as well which are very close to the Resilient model by Shaw.
Thanks for tuning in to my basement channel John!
Eddie
+Basement Finishing Man awesome thank you!
+Basement Finishing Man
Did you use an underlayment with this?
