Q: Do I need permits for flooded basement cleanup or repairs?

• <div><p>Permits may be required for major repairs, structural work, or electrical and plumbing restoration after a flood. Check with your local building department to determine permit requirements and associated fees for your flooded basement cleanup project. Obtaining the correct permits helps ensure work is done safely and up to code.</p></div>

Q: Is a walkout basement below grade?

• <div><p>A walkout basement is considered to be partially below grade because at least one wall is entirely exposed. In some cases and in specific municipalities, inspectors and appraisers will still count walkout basements as below grade, which means the space can&rsquo;t serve as living space or be rented out. If you intend on using the area as living space or a separate apartment, you should check with your local building department to make sure it&rsquo;s legal to do so.</p></div>

Q: Do general contractors require a down payment for projects?

• <div><p>Yes, most general contractors require a down payment for project completion. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-reasonable-down-payment-contractor.htm">A reasonable down payment for a contractor</a> is <b>10% to 25% </b>of the total project cost, though that will vary based on project size and location. The down payment helps cover the upfront costs of materials and permits and helps ensure payment for the project at hand. </p></div>

Q: What are some common mistakes when finishing basement walls?

• <div><p>Common mistakes when finishing basement walls include neglecting proper insulation, insufficient moisture management, and poor ventilation. Not addressing these issues can lead to mold growth, water damage, and discomfort. Additionally, inadequate planning, improper framing, and rushing the project can result in subpar outcomes. </p><p>It's essential to follow best practices, seek professional guidance if needed, and prioritize thoroughness and attention to detail.</p></div>

Q: Is it more affordable to finish an attic or a basement?

• <div><p>It is generally more affordable to finish a basement than an attic, though it ultimately depends on how you plan to use the space. The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-finish-basement.htm">cost to finish a basement</a> ranges from $7 to $23 per square foot, while attic renovation costs $30 to $60 per square foot.
