Unusable Basement Usable
Jack Kemper, Kemper Associates Architects, Farmington, Conn. & Architect of the Hill Family Home on Extreme Makeo
“The Wellcraft systems made a potentially unusable basement usable, comfortable and safe, and enabled this home. When we give presentations on this project, that’s part of the discussion.”
The basement is really a remarkable space

“The way we utilized that basement was incredible. With the seven rooms for the boys and the central gathering area, the basement is really a remarkable space. You have this great entertainment area ringed by these neat dorm-style alcoves, individually decorated and furnished. With the window wells and the amount of natural light and fresh air coming in, it’s not like being in a basement. Looking at it, you can kind of picture yourself as a grandparent and having your grandkids come over and hang out in a space like this. Without the Wellcraft systems, we would not have been able to pull this project off. We would not have met the egress requirements or the lighting requirements.”
How impressed they were with the product

“A number of general contractors involved on the Hill home remarked about how impressed they were with the product. I’ve also recommended Wellcraft to remodelers who haven’t seen it. You run into that problem all the time in remodeling, trying to get light in so you can finish off a basement for homeowners.”
The quality is great

“If homeowners see a cheap well next to a Wellcraft well, for a couple hundred dollars more going into their house they choose the Wellcraft well. Their quality is great.”
Love having the egress window

“Homeowners tell me they love having the egress window and wish they’d have done it years ago. They like the fresh air and sunlight they get downstairs,” Shafer explains. “It really changes the appearance of a basement. Getting that natural light down there, you don’t feel like you’re in a basement as much and it creates a more livable area.”
