The Total Basement Finishing International Network

Total Basement Finishing is an international network of independently owned and operated contractors, working from coast to coast in the United States and Canada. Headquartered in Seymour, Connecticut in a 92,000 square foot facility, it's the fastest-growing basement finishing contractor company in the world.

Members of the TBF network have access to continuing free training sessions, where employees from all over the world can meet with our owner and trainers to hone their skills, learn about new products, and benefit from one another's experiences. Additional literature, video media, and other training materials are made available to each of our dealers on a continuing basis. And, of course, our staff is always available to dealers in the event they have any products or system design questions.

Each year, TBF dealers gather at the headquarters for our Annual Convention. Employees and owners engage in a week-long marathon of employee training, product demonstrations, and networking. Each convention ends with a fantastic keynote speaker, with previous speakers including well-known leaders such as Brian Tracy, Les Brown, Nick Vujicic, Walter Bond, and Joy Baldridge.

How did you hear about
Larry's Think Daily?

Larry Janesky, President of the Total Basement Finishing International Network

Larry Janesky, president of the Total Basement Finishing Network, has been in the basement business since 1987. He is the author of five books, an acclaimed public speaker, an inventor with more than 30 patents and business leader with 27 years of real world accountability and success.

He was elected as the Greater New Haven Businessperson of the Year in 2009, and the Hartford Business Journal cited his company as one of the Ten Best Places to Work in Connecticut in 2006.

He has been awarded the BBB's Business Integrity Award an unprecedented three times and continues to maintain an A+ rating in the Connecticut branch.

Larry has been in basements all over, and he has seen the best and worst that basements have to offer. For more than two decades, he has been developing products that are just what a basement needs to be transformed from a damp, musty place into a warm, comfortable, and naturally private living space.

Larry Janesky And Total Basement Finishing

As the leader of TBF, Larry Janesky has been the driving force of the network's culture of quality, professionalism, timely installation, and most of all -- innovation. We never stop looking for new ways to improve on what's already out there -- and we're leading the industry in new and better ways to finish basements!
