Basement Finishing & Design Service

Serving The Denver Area Since 1988 and Out of State Clients Since 2001

Thanks for checking out how to get your basement designed by a professional.

 

            

 

        Basements designed to not look like Basements.

                                          

I'm John M. Browning Sr., with Basement Finishing & Design Service, a remodeling and design professional with over 30 years experience in the building trades.   I specialize in interior design and space planning, functionality of space and space problem solving. I know the demand for finishing basements and designing them to work with the existing home décor and theme is hot and I'm part of the cause I guess.  Looking for the "WOW" factor or just a simple design? I'm very talented in many areas but having over 90k hours on this software makes this design service very affordable and it's easy to provide this service to anyone, anywhere, for any budget, just by sending in your measurements and photos via email.

 

From concept and thought, to a working basement design, I will strive to design with you an inviting living space, making the best use of that basement space. I'm considered by so many, as one of the best in basement design and construction.  I can assure you just with my work shown here that I will NOT design them to look like a boxed in chopped up basement in any way if possible. All basements are very complicated to design due to duct work, pipes, post and many other items placed where the building contractors and architecture thought things should be. You see, what's in your basement and where things got placed, seems to be the leftovers of your home construction process. Since I have been in the building trades for over 30 years and designed over 2000 basement to date, I know what needs to be done and will redesign your project correcting almost anything needed to make it as nice as possible. If you want a nice flowing open floor plan that fits your lifestyle, matching the existing architecture, fitting your budget and using great ideas, then I'm the guy you want.

Using my many years of experience, my natural creative abilities and problem solving skills as well as the state of the art 3D Computer Aided Design (CAD) software, I will help make your thoughts and dreams a reality.  Although basement finishing and basement space planning is my specialty, I also design home theater rooms,  custom kitchens, baths, additions and will improve any existing floor plans, blueprints & layouts into more livable spaces.  I can handle any type of design for home remodeling or home improvement projects needed, even if you live outside of Colorado .  I have so many satisfied clients now. Just ask if I may help you.  I understand any hesitation you have working with someone through email but I have many out of state references as I do local references just for the asking.   Go to this page link and read these great reviews from all my happy clients.  I made PDF's of these reviews from Contractors.com's web site since they now want a fee to show these on their site.

Also note; you may notice photos on my site on other basement finishing companies web sites that look like something I designed too. This is due to the fact that I have designed for many of the companies in and around Denver and so many clients in the US over the years and they show what I designed.  Their sites may have photos of designs I have done but do note this as well; all the photos on my site are designed by me and beware; you do not know if you'd get the same designer of a photo you like on any other site.  I'm the one and only. TheBasementDesigner.com.  is my newest web site still needing work.

Also, I'm the exclusive construction estimator now for other builders here in the Denver area, PA and CT and I will bid your local project for construction as well with prices starting from only 35 dollars a foot provided we have a detailed plan to work from. Just ask, even if you already have a plan I'll get it priced out.  By the way, I find many issues with other plan and you may want me to check it or redesign it. It's your choice but I can bid any detailed plan that I can count every item on the plan from.

Recommendation:

If you're looking for bids, have a design first to get apples to apples pricing and to know what it is your building. Don't put the cart before the horse. Besides; No reputable company can bid a job without a plan as a Home builder can't bid a new house without a plan. Don't trust any contractor willing to write a contract without a detailed plan. A plan signed by both parties should be considered an attachment to the contract and the words " built as per approved plan" should be in the contract. Also, never sign a contract asking for more than 10-15% up front before the work starts and have the payments made smaller based on performance and ask for lien wavers from each sub-contractor when paying. Good luck and enjoy my photo gallery.


Over 30 Years of Design and Construction Experience Shows


Example of my creative talents:

Before I Design, I study the space like this one .

Notice the red post holding the I - beam by the door located at the bottom of the stairway in this photo?

Using the measurements, the photos and your needs, I then put all this into the PC CAD software and study it first.

See the 3D graphics page  for an example of what I can produce for you.

Considering all that you desire in your new space, the Same Basement above, when designed, will be framed AS PER PLAN  like this.

  Now notice that the poles holding the I - beam is now the center of two archways and  the stairway is open and the door is removed along with the old walls.

You might agree; the photo below does not look like A Basement.  When professionally space planned and designed, you can expect it to look like this and more. Having over 90,000 hours on the CAD software, with over 2000 designs under my belt, backed by over 30 years in construction speaks for itself and  almost anything is possible. Just ask.

Notice those post holding the I - beam? Not any longer.  This is how I deal with all the complications in your basement.

May I create an illusion for you too?

 

Good Planning pays off in the end.        It really is, "all in the Plan".
