You have such great ideas. I wish you were based out of New York! I need help with my basement! Is that white fence metal or pvc? I really love that look and also the idea with adding the gate entrance in front of the basement door for easier access .
I wish we could work all over the country, that would be awesome! Currently we are only able to offer design and pre-construction services nation wide. The fence is vinyl, so essentially a pvc type product, designed to withstand the UV rays and outdoor weather for a very long time. Thank you for your kind words. And I am glad you’re enjoying our channel/videos/ideas.
There are definitely ways to do that. And I agree, everyone should do it. We did not do it on these as the owners wanted to do it later. Plaster is the most common way to go. Stucco also works well and allows for any color you’d like. Painting the walls is not recommended.
I need to make entrance on side wall. There is around 2 Feet difference exterior ground level and my basement stairs landing area. So i guess i need to dig around 2 feet, but how much minimum width i should keep for railing. There is total of 8 feet distance between me n my neighbour, so max i can go is 4 feet but it will leave me no space to cross over and go to my backyard. Please advise..
The minimum width for a stair case is 36”, the foundation wall adds 8” to that so, that is just under 4’. It is very tight and may or may not work for you. If you’re looking for help designing your walkout, we can definitely help you. Request a consultation on our website Dansiedesignbuild.com and we will get in touch! I hope this helps!
the dogs barks in the background are legendary
Haha, thanks. The neighbor’s dogs were always barking on that job.
Great video. I want to do this on my home, and this gave me some great ideas, especially about the side lites.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for these videos, very practical ideas well executed.
So glad it was helpful!

There’s got to be a way to improve the look of the concrete walls. 1:59 Any recommendations for finishing/paint/stucco?

Here is a video of a walkout we plastered the walls on.
