Transforming an Unfinished Rec Room into a Functional Living Space

Client Goals & Challenges

The homeowners purchased the house with an upstairs rec room that had insulation but no drywall or flooring. Their goal was to turn this unfinished space into a livable, polished area while ensuring energy efficiency and a seamless aesthetic.
Challenges included:

• Finishing an angled ceiling with proper drywall placement

• Ensuring smooth seams and joints for a clean, professional look

• Preparing the space for future flooring installation

The Approach & Execution

• Drywall Installation: Measured and cut drywall panels to fit the unique ceiling slopes and wall dimensions. Installed drywall securely, ensuring a strong, even surface.

• Taping & Mudding: Applied joint tape and compound to create smooth transitions between panels. Sanded and refinished seams for a professional-grade finish.

• Electrical Considerations: Ensured outlets were properly cut out and accessible for future use.

• Flooring Preparation: Protected subfloor and maintained a clean workspace for the next phase of the renovation.

Results & Outcome

• The once unfinished rec room now has a fully drywalled interior, giving it a defined, finished look.

• The room is now insulated, enclosed, and ready for priming, painting, and flooring installation.

• The space is one step closer to becoming a functional, livable area in the home.
