I live in northeast Pennsylvania and I want to completely refinish my basement.
The walls are about 7.5 ft high.
It’s an L-shaped basement.
I want:
1. All new drywall on the walls and ceiling.
2. About 600 sq. ft. of carpet with pad. (this includes the stairwell).
3. About 40 sq. ft. of tile.
3. Moulding to go around the edge of the walls.
4. 2 new doors. (A lighter one that goes to a closet and a heavier duty one to the garage).
5. 2 vinyl windows. (One sliding window about 3ft x 3ft and one small rectangular basement window).
6. A new electrical box.
7. Recessed lights (I’m estimating 16- 6″ lights).
8. Paint.

These items will be moderately priced quality- not high end stuff.
