Q: How hard is it to put a bathroom in a basement?

• <div><p>Installing a bathroom in a basement isn&rsquo;t a project for most homeowners. Many parts&mdash;plumbing, electricity, and carpentry&mdash;go into this project, each requiring expert-level knowledge and tools. One miscalculation can lead to very expensive repairs. Plus, some homeowner&rsquo;s insurance might not pay for damages caused by a homeowner DIYing this project. You can protect yourself by allowing the pros to complete this job for you. </p></div>

Q: Should you refinish your basement?

• <div><p>Finishing a basement can provide a great return on investment, by increasing the market price of your home when you want to sell. Beyond that, there are many reasons to finish your basement. Doing so expands the usable square footage of your home, so you can enjoy it more, even as your family grows. Renovating your basement costs less in terms of time, energy, and money than having to search for and buy a new home.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to make bigger windows in a basement?

• <div><p>Making a window in a basement larger costs an average of $4,200. You&rsquo;ll need to pay an average of $550 to have a structural engineer plan the project, $500 to $1,500 for the installation labor, and an average of $2,200 for the excavation and window well installation. The remainder will go toward pulling permits, installing trim, and repairing drywall on the interior.</p></div>

Q: Does a finished basement count as square footage?

• <div><p>A finished basement does not always count as square footage, though this varies by state regulations. You may live in an area that allows for below-grade spaces to be considered in a home's official square footage. In those cases, the basement must meet certain conditions, like having a functional egress and being a livable space with flooring, finished walls, and temperature control. Your local assessor can confirm your area's policies regarding basement square footage.</p></div>

We did not choose firm to do project. The quote to do the project was high. We considered two ways large and small remodel. We got the large project done for less than their quote for the small project. Mike was fine to work with otherwise.
