Irvington Basement

This is a small basement conversion we did in the Historic Irvington district of Portland.  The space was unfinished with just the washer and dryer hooked up.  The floor was unimaginably out of level and 1/3 of the space is crawl space only.  We Drylocked, framed in and insulated the perimeter walls.  Over 15 bags of self leveling compound were used.  One of the smaller windows within the foundation was made larger to accommodate egress but cutting the concrete foundation and digging a window well.  Partition walls were arranged for: one bedroom with two large closets, a finished laundry/ utility room, and a large living space with covered storage and bookcases.  Floating cork flooring was laid and the staircase rebuilt for easier travel and a more finished look.  All new electrical and plumbing were added as well.  A total of 620 sf of finished space was added to the house.
