Q: Do I need rebar on a basement floor?

• <div><p>Rebar is an essential part of reinforcing a basement floor, as not having it can impact its structural integrity. It helps absorb the tension factors that contribute to cracks in your floor and strengthens its load-bearing capabilities by evenly distributing the weight. Not including rebar could lead to an unstable floor, so don&rsquo;t skip it!</p></div>

Q: Does a finished basement need ventilation?

• <div><p>Although it&rsquo;s not required, air ventilation in a finished basement can help improve the air quality, prevent moisture and mold issues, keep musty odors away, and also maintain the air quality throughout the rest of your home. Proper ventilation will help maintain the value of your investment in finishing your basement. Try <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-improve-ventilation-basement-remodeling-project.htm">basement ventilation methods</a> like installing vents or a dehumidifier for best results.</p></div>

Q: What are the most expensive parts of finishing a basement?

• <div><p>Anything having to do with the structure of your home, such as raising the ceiling, is usually the most expensive part of finishing a basement. Another project component that could be a surprisingly high expense is adding an exterior entrance. </p><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-average-cost-add-exitwalk-out-my-finished-basement.htm">cost of a walkout basement</a> can be anywhere from $5,000 to $35,000.</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>
