Reimagining the Lenker Family’s Basement

Introduction

At Victoria Renovations, we pride ourselves on bringing dream renovations to life while ensuring the process is as seamless and enjoyable as possible. We recently had the pleasure of transforming the basement of the Lenker family home in Milton, Georgia, located in the beautiful and serene Fulton County. This comprehensive remodel included various construction disciplines, from structural changes to detailed finishings, all executed with our hallmark of quality and attention to detail. The project highlights our expertise in occupied remodeling and our commitment to dust-free construction environments.

Initial Steps: Planning and Preparation

The Lenker family envisioned a multi-functional space that would include a gym, a bar, a TV room, and a luxurious steam shower. Our team began with meticulous planning and preparation, ensuring every detail was covered. We supplied and installed an additional 100-amp breaker panel to provide the necessary circuits for the expanded functionalities.

Staircase Enhancement

To begin, we enhanced the staircase by supplying, installing, and staining a wood handrail with iron balusters, matching the elegant style of the upstairs. This small but impactful change set the tone for the rest of the basement’s transformation.

Structural Modifications

One of the significant structural changes involved opening an interior wall and installing a triple LVL beam with jack studs to create a 7’6″ wide opening at the bottom of the stairs. This modification seamlessly connected the landing to the TV room, providing an open and inviting space. Additionally, we relocated the return vent to above the new pocket door, ensuring optimal HVAC performance.

Gym and Wall Modifications

In the gym, we framed and installed metal to create a soffit along two walls and supplied materials and labor to re-frame the wall between the gym and landing area to accommodate a new pocket door. We also installed a weather board to create a shiplap effect on the gym’s back wall, enhancing its aesthetic appeal. To ensure the gym was practical and inviting, we installed a 1/4″ plate glass mirror on the longest exterior wall.

Luxurious Steam Shower

The steam shower was a focal point of this remodel. We jackhammered the slab to center the plumbing drain in the floor and reinstalled the concrete, ready for flooring. We installed an Aroma Designer Finish Steamhead, a rain shower head, and a shower diverter, all adding to the luxurious feel. The custom-built bench and frameless shower door completed this spa-like sanctuary.

Cozy TV Room and Stone Fireplace

In the TV room, we supplied and installed Eldorado Stone brand “Nantucket” faux stone on the fireplace walls, from floor to ceiling. The stonework added a rustic yet sophisticated charm to the room. We also supplied and installed a Lenox 14 SEER heat pump unit, ensuring the basement maintained a comfortable temperature year-round.

Elegant Bar Area

The bar area was designed to be both functional and stylish. We framed in and closed the existing window opening on the back wall, removing the header to allow for plumbing installation. The custom-built cabinets, Scotsman 15″ clear ice machine with a pump, and Blanca Statuarietto quartz countertops with an eased edge added a touch of elegance. The IWT Revere Convex Subway Tile in Ash with warm gray grout as the backsplash perfectly complemented the overall design.

Final Touches: Trim and Paint

Throughout the basement, we added various trim and paint details to enhance the finish. We wrapped the posts between the game room and TV room in 1×10 rough-sawn cedar, stained to match the barn door, creating a cohesive and polished look. All walls, trim, and doors were filled, caulked, primed, and painted using Sherwin Williams ProMar 200 Latex paint, ensuring a durable and beautiful finish.
