Q: Will adding a walkout basement increase home value?

• <div><p>Yes, adding a walkout basement will usually bump up your property value. Most homeowners prefer walk out basements because the exposed wall that&rsquo;s level with the ground provides more utility via a ground-level exterior entrance, and they can fit full windows, which adds natural light and ventilation to the basement area. The only exception might be in areas prone to tornadoes, as walkout basements aren&rsquo;t as safe as regular basements during a tornado, particularly if they include large windows or glass sliding doors.</p></div>

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: Is it cheaper to build up or add a basement?

• <div><p>Building up by adding square footage to the top of your home is often less expensive than adding a basement, but it depends on the specifics of your house, your property, and supply costs. Because building a basement requires excavation, it can be a more expensive option than building up.</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: What is the most challenging part of finishing a basement?

• <div><p>Physically, the most challenging part of finishing a basement is installing egress windows or doors when the space is below ground level. Mentally, the hardest part may be envisioning the project and planning around load-bearing and mechanical obstacles.</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.

"An excellent team of workers tore down the damaged exterior wall on one morning, them rebuilt it the next morning. The workers were very courteous, and friendly, worked almost silently and very efficiently. Not a lot of talk, each man knew what to do, and worked together as a well run team. They also did an excellent job of cleaning up the debris."
