House Conversions that often fail.

Basement conversions often fail because they lack windows and give off that damp musty odor so common to below ground living areas. To overcome these problems, use window wells and carve outs to bring in natural light. To eliminate the musty smell, use high quality sealants and fresh air ventilation. Follow the same ideas for attic and garage conversions. You want these finished areas to look, live, feel, and smell as good as the rest of the house. You want light, height, warmth, and color. You do not want cheap paneling, or lay down a roll of indoor outdoor carpeting.
