Q: Which raising basement ceiling option is best for you?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re not sure which method of raising the ceiling is best for you, here are a couple of considerations to help you make that decision. <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/ceiling-companies/">A professional ceiling company</a> will be able to help you determine the best option for your home.</p><ul><li><p>How long you are planning to live there: although raising the basement ceiling will increase the value of your home, if you&rsquo;re planning to sell the house, then go for raising the house.</p></li><li><p>The condition of the foundation: to lower the floors, your foundation has to be intact whereas raising the house will allow you to restore the damaged foundation.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

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. A finished walkout basement used as a living space may be counted toward square footage in some locations as long as all codes for livable space are met.</p></div>

Q: Would the newly raised basement ceiling need to be finished?

• <div><p>You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-paint-walls-ceiling-and-trim.htm">paint your ceiling</a> or install a drywall ceiling if the ceiling is unfinished, as they take up less headroom than drop ceilings. </p><p>If there are pipes in the way of ceiling installation, you can do one of two things: reroute the pipes or adjust the installation to fit, which will cost extra.</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: Can you put a summer kitchen in the basement?

• <div><p>Yes, you can install a summer kitchen or kitchenette in your basement. They serve similar purposes as outdoor kitchens, keeping the main floor of the house cool and providing another space to cook and congregate. Basement kitchens are also a worthwhile alternative for homeowners without much space in the backyard. They come with a few logistical questions to sort out, though, like ventilation and waterproofing.</p></div>
