Playroom & Game Room
Kid-grade basement playrooms and family game rooms — durable flooring, impact-resistant walls, integrated storage, age-aware lighting, and safety-focused layouts that survive real use.
Kid-Grade Playrooms & Game Rooms
Basements take a beating when kids live there. We build playrooms that actually survive — resilient rubber or sheet-vinyl floors, impact-resistant walls, soft-close cabinet hardware, and enough storage that toys, games, and equipment have a home.
- Resilient rubber, sheet-vinyl, or engineered flooring
- Impact-resistant wall panels or reinforced drywall
- Built-in storage, toy bins, and shelving
- Safety-focused corner details and soft-close hardware
- Dedicated lighting and optional wall climbing
- Integrated TV or projector wall for game nights
Serving Bergen County homeowners across Englewood, Tenafly, Fort Lee, Ridgewood, Paramus, Teaneck, Hackensack, Closter, Fair Lawn, and Bergenfield — plus every town in between.

Frequently Asked Questions
For 2026 in Bergen County, basic playroom conversions with resilient flooring and storage run $10,000–$22,000. Full multi-use playroom/game rooms with AV, wall climbing, and built-in storage run $25,000–$55,000+. Pricing and timelines are planning ranges.
Rubber and sheet vinyl top the list — impact-absorbing, easy to clean, forgiving to toys. Engineered wood with a strong wear layer works if you avoid moisture-prone zones. Carpet tile is the fallback for warmth.
For projects that require permits, we coordinate permit paperwork, trade documentation, and inspection scheduling with your town and licensed professionals where required. Simple playroom conversions often don't; anything adding electrical or plumbing does.
Simple conversions 3–5 weeks. Full multi-use spaces with AV and climbing features 6–10 weeks depending on finishes.
