Basement Game Room
Kensington, MD
This basement remodeling project in Kensington, MD turned ~720 sq ft into a dedicated game room — a purpose-built entertainment space the whole family fights over.
Entertainment basements have their own requirements: sound control, plenty of circuits in the right places, durable surfaces, and lighting that can shift from bright to movie-night.
As always in Montgomery County basements, egress and moisture control were handled to code before the fun parts went in.
Handled start to finish by Think2Remodel, a licensed Montgomery County contractor (MHIC #159517).

Full stud-wall framing with R-15 insulation plus additional sound-dampening insulation in the ceiling — critical for a game room in a finished basement where noise management matters for the rest of the house.
Level 4 drywall throughout with a smooth painted ceiling — the clean finish that makes the space feel like a proper room, not a basement. All work completed in-house by Think2Remodel's drywall crew in Kensington.
Heavy-duty LVP flooring in a warm oak finish — scratch-resistant, waterproof, and built to handle the traffic a game room sees. Installed over a vapor barrier across the full basement floor in this Kensington renovation.
Dedicated circuits added for a large-format TV, gaming setups, and a sound system — plus in-wall conduit for clean cable management. Electrical work permitted and inspected per Montgomery County code.
Full recessed LED lighting plan with dimmable circuits throughout — bright enough for active gaming, dimmed for movie watching. Think2Remodel planned the layout specifically for this Kensington game room.
Dark accent wall behind the main screen area, neutral walls elsewhere, and crisp white trim throughout. A game room aesthetic that's intentional — not just a finished basement that happens to have a TV.
"The game room came out better than we expected — and we had high expectations. Real photos on this page are from our actual basement. Think2Remodel did the framing, drywall, floor, electrical, and all the painting. The dedicated circuits for the gaming setup were a big deal for us. Everything works perfectly. Best basement contractor we found in Kensington."
