Total Basement Finishing of Johnson County

The first ever Kansas City Home Design and Remodeling Expo will be debuting October 21 to 23 at Bartle Hall, and this home show will be featuring a display never seen before in Kansas. In addition to the over 300 exhibitors providing products and tips for home remodeling, Total Basement Finishing of Johnson County, the premiere basement experts in the state, will be bringing a 900-square-foot demo basement to the expo to inspire homeowners to make the most of their basements.

The demo will be a part of the Amazing Basement Makeover section of the expo. The area will show guests the latest products designed specifically for below-grade spaces. The demo is designed to be a mock walkout basement. It was designed by local company Designed 4 You, LLC, and features the latest innovative finishing products by Total Basement Finishing. There are also unfinished areas of the basement so that guests can see the installation process on the walls and floors.

"I am working with an interior designer and our basement showroom will have a variety of products, finishes and features," said Allyn Self, owner of TBF of Johnson County. "My crew will be building it from scratch. It will have an enclosed office, a working home theater system, pool table area and a custom bar."

In a damp Midwestern climate like Kansas, it's important to use materials in a basement that are water and mold resistant. Basements are typically wet and musty environments, so to make use that extra space in your house you need products that are designed solely for the basement environment. Total Basement Finishing offers products including foam-backed insulated walls that are water and mildew resistant, a floating floor system that allows water to run beneath the surface, and high-powered dehumidifiers. The TBF of Johnson County team can teach you why fiberglass and drywall are terrible choices for basement remodeling in Kansas City.

Allyn Self has been in the building and remodeling business since 1987. He’s designed more than 100 new custom homes and performed countless home modifications and basement remodeling projects in Kansas. Energy efficient, low-maintenance elements are basic to his building philosophy. For more information on Total Basement Finishing of Johnson County, visit www.basementfinishingkansas.com.
