Inviting, Versatile, and Family-Oriented
A Revamped Basement for Endless Family Gatherings
After viewing our galleries of successful builds online, Dave knew he wanted to use Custom Built for his upcoming basement finish. After losing his wife, Dave wanted to dedicate an area of his home to not just her memory but to their family as well. He saw their basement as the perfect opportunity to do just that.
From a wet bar equipped with a sink and refrigeration to a play area for his grandchildren, Dave wanted a space for his family to spend quality time together. He wanted:
- A bright space with high-quality lighting.
- Aesthetically pleasing and functional flooring.
- Elegant finishes to his faucets, sinks, and other features.
And most importantly:
- A space he and his family could comfortably enjoy for years to come.
After residing in the house for approximately 13 years, the basement space had become overrun with clutter and miscellaneous items. However, with a clear vision in mind, Dave sought out Custom Built to help bring their dream basement to life. While collaborating with the team, Dave wanted a multifunctional space that would accommodate various activities. The design included a designated bar area, a cozy spot for watching TV, and a spacious area for the kids to play. By transforming the basement, Dave’s family now has a centralized area where everyone can gather and enjoy each other's company, with separate zones for different activities, providing adults and children with designated areas to relax and unwind.

Throughout the build phase of the basement project, Custom Built provided support, guiding the homeowner through each step of the process. Working closely with Michael and our production team, Dave found the experience to be an exciting journey. As the transformation unfolded, with Dave working from home, he eagerly anticipated each day's progress. Witnessing the space come to life was truly remarkable, and the collaboration with our team proved to be the perfect fit for bringing his vision to fruition. The expanded basement area also had an unexpected benefit, allowing Dave to shift his TV area downstairs, freeing up the living room upstairs for more intimate family gatherings and conversations. Reflecting on the experience, Dave wholeheartedly recommends Custom Built, highlighting our team’s ability to understand and fulfill his needs while delivering exceptional results that exceed expectations.

“If anybody came to me to ask how was my experience with Custom Built, I would tell them that whatever idea it is that you have, they'll work with you and understand what it is that you need. They definitely hit a home run with all the decisions that they filled in for me. I'm just overjoyed with the results.”
