🧭 Workshop Overview
Dreaming of transforming your basement into a cozy family room, home office, or rental suite? This workshop is your first step toward turning that underused space into something beautiful and functional!
We’ll start with an informative lecture on project preparation, covering everything you need to know before you begin — from moisture control and layout planning to permits and safety considerations unique to basement environments.
📋 What You’ll Learn
How to prepare your basement for renovation (moisture, insulation, and layout basics)
Michigan rules and regulations for finishing basements
Planning utilities, lighting, and ventilation for below-grade spaces
How to estimate material needs and set a realistic project timeline
Tips for staying safe and organized through every stage
🛠️ Light Hands-On Practice
After the lecture, it’s time to roll up your sleeves! Participants will get guided, hands-on experience with two essential renovation tasks:
🔨 Subfloor Creation – Learn how to lay down a proper base to keep your new space dry and level.
🧱 Drywall Hanging – Practice cutting, fitting, and fastening drywall panels to form clean, sturdy walls.
These practical activities give you a taste of real-world renovation work while keeping the experience accessible and fun.
🎯 Why Attend
This workshop is perfect for homeowners, DIY enthusiasts, and anyone curious about basement finishing. You’ll leave with the confidence and knowledge to plan your own conversion — and a clear understanding of when to call in the pros.
