If you want to increase your home’s living space but lack the funds for an addition, look no further than your basement. Homeowners often believe that finishing the basement is going to be horribly expensive, the lighting will not be up to par, and it will require too much work to look amazing. We’re happy to say that we have built out many impressive basements for around $10,000. That’s much cheaper than building an addition, right?
Having a ready structure to work with (your unfinished basement) means you can get that extra living space and save money at the same time. The basement already exists, after all, so all we have to do is waterproof, build up the flooring, work with hiding an unsightly ceiling, and build walls. Sounds like a lot of work when we spell it all out, doesn’t it?
Our basement remodeling professionals will work with you to create an amazing basement that you can be proud of. You will know exactly what you can do with the basement to make it more attractive and comfortable after talking with our consultants. And we may even throw in a free 50” LCD TV to sweeten the deal.
Taking Things into Account
No two basement projects are alike, and in many cases, the basement will limit your ability to make some changes. Some points you will need to focus on for a project of this type are:
- The basement’s size
- The electrical wiring that will be necessary
- What it will be used for
- The types of appliances and fixtures that will be added
- Whether there is a moisture problem
- The look or theme you want
- Whether windows will be added
- The height of the ceiling
- Local building codes
Finding Your Contractor
The right contractor is an essential component of a basement finishing plan. We specialize in basement remodeling projects, so of course we’re going to say that we feel we are your best choice. Our experienced contractors can design the project based not just on your needs but also your budget. You will have access to the best finishing products and materials as well as design options. We will also address moisture problems and any potential safety issues.
After talking with us, you may realize that some types of remodeled basements can significantly increase your overall project costs. Adding a bathroom, a small kitchen or a bar will enhance the space, but you will spend much more for these features. If you have the space and you can afford it, it will be worthwhile since these additions will greatly increase the overall value of your home.
If your basement has structural weaknesses or problems with moisture intrusion, the solution will represent a part of your overall costs. We will be happy to visit your home, provide a one-on-one consultation and quote based on your individual ideas and needs. Remember, we offer $0 down and 0% APR for 60 months with no payments for five months. We also offer a free 50” LCD TV if your project qualifies.
