George and Sharon Licci had a basement full of potential sitting right beneath their Buckingham home. Their son needed a place to call his own, and they wanted a real entertaining space for hosting friends and family. The basement was the answer to both. They came to Buckingham with a clear idea of what they wanted, and the team helped them build it out into a space that works for everyone under the roof.

“We’ve used Pat for multiple projects. His work is impeccable. He’s built us a deck with a roof, finished our basement, did woodworking and more. No job is too big or small for Pat. We highly recommend him.”
The family loved their home, but they had outgrown the way the space was being used. Their son needed somewhere to decompress that wasn’t in the middle of the main living areas, and entertaining guests meant crowding into the same rooms.
With everyone sharing the main floor, their son had no space to call his own. He needed somewhere separate — a room that didn’t take square footage away from the spaces everyone else was already using.
George and Sharon loved entertaining, but the main floor wasn’t built for it. They wanted a real gathering space, a bar, a fireplace, room to spread out, and their home just didn’t have one.
The square footage was already there. All it needed was someone who could take their ideas and turn them into a finished space.
George and Sharon came in knowing what they wanted and trusted Buckingham’s recommendations to help shape the selections and finishes. The proposal mapped out every element of the space before work began, so there were no surprises and no guesswork along the way.
A full wet bar with an island anchors the entertaining side of the basement, giving George and Sharon everything they need to host without running upstairs.
A warm shiplap feature wall wraps the TV and fireplace together into one inviting focal point that sets the tone for the entire space.
A dedicated office gives their son a space that’s his, separate from the rest of the house, where he can work and unwind.
A finished half bathroom means guests and family never have to leave the basement level during a gathering. Thoughtful, practical, and exactly right for the space.
A fully equipped wet bar with an island that makes hosting feel effortless and keeps everything right where it needs to be.
A warm, textured shiplap wall wraps the TV and fireplace into one cohesive focal point that gives the space real character.
A fireplace that makes the entertaining space feel inviting year-round, whether it’s a crowded holiday gathering or a quiet evening at home.
A dedicated retreat that gives the youngest member of the family his own corner of the house to work and unwind.
A finished half bath keeps guests comfortable and the main floor undisturbed during any gathering.
Enough open space to host, gather, and spend real time together without anyone feeling squeezed or out of place.
George and Sharon now have the entertaining space they always wanted, and their son has a place of his own. No more crowding into the main floor for gatherings, and no more sharing every square foot of the house all at once. The basement remodel gave each family member exactly what they needed.
George and Sharon needed room to entertain and a place where their son could finally spread out. Their unfinished basement became a wet bar, a shiplap fireplace wall, and a private office that gave every member of the family exactly what they were missing.
Every basement remodel starts with a conversation. Tell Buckingham a little about your space and how you want to use it. The team will take it from there.
