There’s a secret that a few homeowners in Fairfield Connecticut know that the vast majority do not. That secret is is how to get more out of your home. How is it that two homes on the same block, with similar plot sizes, and from the outside, look to be similar in size, but in reality one has more square footage, and enjoys lower operating costs throughout the year? How can that be? It’s simple really…

The secret that these few know is that they can increase their home’s square footage and usability by finishing the basement of their Fairfield Connecticut homes with the Owens Corning® Basement Finishing System®. But what is it about the Owens Corning® Basement Finishing System® that allows residents to add square footage, usability and in many cases lower their operating costs? what is so different when compared to a typical basement project performed by a local contractor? Allow us to roll out the details.

First off, the Owens Corning® Basement Finishing System® is a system, which means that it can easily be installed just about anywhere. Unless your home is an incredibly old farm house with a basement that has a dirt floor, you can almost be certain that the Owens Corning® Basement Finishing System® can be used to finish or remodel the basement in your Fairfield Connecticut home. In fact, depending on the size of your basement, we can have your brand new basement framed out in a few days. Compare that to your typical drywall installation which can take weeks to fully frame out the new space since each frame must be cut from wood and measured thoroughly beforehand. The Owens Corning® Basement Finishing System® uses metal tracks that nail into your concrete basement floor and ceiling. From there we run the wall frames into the track.

Once the frame is in place we custom cut our specially formulated and constructed wall panel material to fit your specific basement and its layout. In many cases we are finished with your basement project in a few short weeks compared the months that a general contractor can take. that means you get to enjoy your new space faster! While being able to get the job done fast so you can get on with your life is a great feature of the Owens Corning® Basement Finishing System®, but what are the other benefits of the system. Surely there must be something that makes it vastly superior to drywall/ custom builds. And there is!

For starters, our wall panels are easily removable with basic hand tools. This means that should something happen like a pipe leaking or an issue with electrical wiring, and those important items are behind your walls, there is no need to cut into the wall to gain access to the pipe or wire in question.Simply remove the panel, and reinstall once the issues have been corrected. Try doing that with drywall. Oh that’s right, you can’t!! Another amazing feature that Fairfield Connecticut homeowners tell us about their brand new basement and the Owens Corning® Basement Finishing System® is that their operating costs go down after the installation. It’s true! Because of the way our system is design and implemented, it helps to keep the home warm from the basement up during the winter time, which cuts down on heating costs, and in the summer it helps to keep the home cooler which will help with your electricity costs due to running air conditioning.
