Before & After Photos

Recently, a homeowner in Madison, NJ had a vision of turning their dark, unfinished basement into a bright, modern living area that could serve as both a functional and inviting extension of their home. Tired of seeing valuable square footage go to waste, they contacted the basement finishing specialists at Quality 1st for help. After a detailed inspection and consultation, our team crafted a custom plan to bring the space to life, prioritizing both aesthetics and durability to ensure the finished basement would stand the test of time.

We installed our patented EverLast Wall Panels, specially engineered to resist moisture, mold, and mildew, key concerns in any basement environment. To complement the walls, we laid down our ThermalDry Elite Plank Flooring, a stylish, wood-look alternative designed to withstand humidity and temperature changes. Together, these finishing systems gave the basement a sleek, finished appearance while providing long-term protection against moisture.

The transformation not only met the homeowner’s design goals but also delivered peace of mind, knowing their new space was as resilient as it was beautiful!

After water flooded this basement ruining the dry wall, Quality 1st Basements was contacted for a solution! Our Total Basement Finishing team installed EverLast Wall Paneling, a waterproof and mold resistant wall panel that had built in insulation to create a more comfortable environment in the basement. 

A homeowner in Whippany, NJ wanted waterproof basement flooring in her finished basement. Quality 1st Basement Systems installed MillCreek flooring, which looks like real wood but is made out of vinyl.

This Edison, NJ homeowner wanted to finish his basement. Quality 1st Basement Systems had previously waterproofed the basement, and the first step to finishing the space was the basement floor tiles. ThermalDry Basement Flooring was installed on this concrete floor. ThermalDry tiles are completely waterproof and will never be damaged by water. These basement tiles also prevent water vapor from getting into the basement through the pourous concrete. The floor tiles look great, the basement is warmer than before, and is ready for the next step of finishing!

We installed EverLast Basement Wall Panels and ThermalDry Flooring for this beautiful basement in Edison, NJ.The EverLast Basement Wall Panels have built-in insulation and are mold and moisture resistant. The ThermalDry Flooring is great for the basement because it can easily be removed and replaced. Each interlocking piece has pegs underneath so that the carpet does not lay directly on the cold concrete floor. The flooring is waterproof and mold resistant so unlike regular carpet that would have to be ripped up and thrown away, the ThermalDry flooring will be protected.
