Beneath your home lies untapped potential. That unfinished basement or underwhelming lower level could become a home theater, a guest suite, a personal gym, a space for your hobbies—or all of the above. Basement remodeling isn't just about adding square footage; it's about expanding how you experience your home.
At Antalek Construction, we see basement projects as an opportunity to create something exceptional below grade. Since 2011, we've helped Erie County homeowners unlock the full value of their lower levels—transforming dim, neglected spaces into finished environments that rival any room upstairs.
Add Functional Living Space
You need more room—for family, for hobbies, for life—but you love your home and don't want to move.
How We Help
We convert basements into fully realized living spaces tailored to your needs: family rooms, bedrooms, home offices, playrooms, and more. Thoughtful layout planning ensures each area serves a purpose while maintaining an open, connected feel.
Create a Dedicated Entertainment Area
You envision a basement built for fun – a home theater, a wet bar, a game room, or all three.
How We Help
We design entertainment-focused basements with acoustics, lighting, and technology in mind. Custom built-ins, careful wiring, and finish carpentry details create a space that's as beautiful as it is functional.
Address Moisture and Climate Concerns
Erie's climate can be tough on basements. You need solutions that handle humidity, temperature swings, and potential moisture intrusion.
How We Help
We don't just finish over problems; we solve them. Proper moisture mitigation, insulation, and climate control are integrated into every basement project, ensuring a comfortable, durable result.
Increase Home Value
Finished square footage adds real value. You want a basement that appraises well and appeals to future buyers.
How We Help
We approach basement finishing with resale value in mind—quality materials, smart layouts, and code-compliant work that buyers and appraisers recognize as premium.
