Gameroom Remodel This gameroom remodel included replacement of all plumbing, HVAC, electrical and extensive carpentry work. The homeowner's goal was to remodel the basement to become a gameroom where their children could play, relax, invite friends over and extend the living space in their home. This 1930's house required the complete replacement of the sewer lines underground, which was discovered prior to framing walls because of a plumbing leak encountered during demolition. Once the basement plumbing was replaced, the original HVAC duct work was gutted from the middle of the basement rooms and run along the perimeter which created 6 foot 8 inch clear ceilings. This along with lowering the floor four inches, created a comfortable walking height in the room. The room was finished with new stairs, bookcases & trim fabricated by J. Francis Company, LLC. The "Pittsburgh Toilet" in the corner of the room was replaced with a small powder room; original windows were replaced with glass block & new DensArmor paperless drywall was installed which is mold resistant for remodeling below-grade. The laundry equipment was moved to the third floor to suite the lifestyle of the homeowner. This once cluttered basement was remodeled into a cozy, bright, functional living space.
