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>

Q: Who do I hire for a basement remodel?

• <div><p>For most basement remodels, you&rsquo;ll want to hire a general contractor. This is for a number of reasons, but the main two are that general contractors have dedicated teams they are comfortable with, and hiring one means you only have to deal with one pro. You may also get a better project quote since they can lump all their work and subcontracting into a single quote. </p></div>

Q: What adds the most value to a basement?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/finished-vs-unfinished-basement.htm">Finishing an unfinished basement</a> adds the most value, with an average return of 70% or $22,400. A bathroom addition in the basement will provide an ROI of 75%, but the higher cost will leave you with a lower actual return of $9,000, on average. Finishing a basement and adding a kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom to rent the space will leave you with the highest possible ROI, as you could see well over 100% if you rent the space out long-term.</p></div>

Q: Can barndominiums have basements?

• <div><p>Yes, barndominiums can have basements. Barndominiums are typically built over concrete slabs, so barndo basements are not very common. However, it is possible to include a basement in a barndominium blueprint as long as you&rsquo;re building completely from scratch. Barndos can have the same types of basements as traditional homes, including full or walk-out basements.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to finish a basement?

• <div><p>Finishing a basement normally takes four to eight weeks, but the timeline depends on the size of your basement, your contractor's availability, and the extent of finishing work. Framing the basement will take three to five days, while adding electrical and rough-in plumbing can be another three to five days. Adding drywall can take five days, and floor installation can take two to three days. Final touches, like painting and adding trim, will take another week.</p></div>

Chris was very helpful and super-responsive. He was extremely thorough trying to understand both the existing conditions and our vision for the project. Ultimately, we elected to defer this project but Chris will be my first call for any other remodeling needs.

They did a good job. I used somebody else one time and it was twice that much. I called them up and they called me back and gave me an estimate. Two hours later, they showed up with a truck. They took stuff out of my basement and out of my garage. Anything I didn't want, they took.
