From Basic to Beautiful for this Arlington Basement
Customer Focus
Our MOSS customers partnered with us to transform their original Arlington basement into a more functional space for their growing family. Knowing they wanted to use it for multiple purposes gave our designers the opportunity to create an open concept space with a cozy family area for watching movies, a dining area, separate laundry/storage room, and a fun kids' corner. Almost as importantly to our customers was their need to remodel the staircase as well as give the entire space better lighting. In the end, the basement was completely transformed with a more contemporary look and feel and an updated layout, completely meeting the needs of our customers.
Safety
One of the most important aspects of this remodel was the repair and restructuring of the staircase. Originally, it wasn’t built to code and had an awkward bottom step that was too short, which could have led to falls and/or injuries. MOSS was able to heighten the threshold of the staircase at the basement entry and rebuild the stairs so that they were safe and to current code. In addition, MOSS replaced the original carpet with luxury vinyl tile on the stairs as well as the entire basement floor, giving the space even more safety features.
Performance
This basement remodel was completed during the global pandemic, and, while the homeowners were welcoming their first child. The MOSS team worked efficiently and incredibly carefully to adhere to all CDC health and safety guidelines to keep all involved safe during the process.
Fairness
Because of the age of the home, MOSS had to contend with many features that were outdated and/or not to code. MOSS worked carefully with the homeowners and Arlington County to ensure that the remodel was done to meet code while also being attractive.
Quality
The quality of the work performed in this remodel was top notch. From installing a new ceiling with recessed lighting, creating a space for the utility box, laying luxury vinyl tile carefully throughout, plus more, the basement is now a comfortable, cozy space that’s perfect for this family to relax and entertain.
