AMERICA NOVA · Algonquin, IL
Basement Finishing & Remodeling
From bare concrete to a finished living space: framing, insulation, drywall, black or drywall ceilings, floors, built-ins, bars and bathrooms.
What's included
Done by our team.
Basements are our specialty. We take an unfinished basement and turn it into the room your family actually uses: a family room, a guest bedroom, an office, a bar, a gym or a playroom. One team handles the drywall, the ceiling, the paint, the floors and the finish carpentry, so the details match from wall to wall.
- Framing and insulation
- Drywall hanging, taping and smooth finishing
- Open black ceilings or drywall ceilings
- Interior paint and accent walls
- LVP, tile or carpet floors
- Built-in shelves, closets, trim and doors
- Wet bars and kitchenettes
- Basement bathrooms: tile, glass showers and vanities

Why paint a basement ceiling black?
An open ceiling sprayed flat black hides joists, ducts and pipes visually, keeps the full ceiling height and leaves plumbing and wiring easy to reach. It's a modern, industrial look that many families choose for basements, bars and home theaters.
