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.

Q: Are walkout basements included in square footage?

• <div><p>Walkout basements are not generally included in a home&rsquo;s square footage, although they may be if they meet certain conditions that depend on local regulations.

Q: How much value does a finished basement add to a house?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-value-does-a-finished-basement-add.htm">Finishing your basement adds value to your home</a>, providing an average return on investment (ROI) of around 75%.
