What room is the most expensive to renovate?

• <div><p>It may not come as a surprise that the kitchen is the most expensive room in the house to renovate. This is due to the expensive appliances like the range, hood, and fridge, but also because the bones of the room—like electrical and plumbing—are expensive to move or replace. While there are ways to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-should-kitchen-remodel-cost.htm">renovate a kitchen on a budget</a>, it will always carry a hefty price tag, even if you cut some corners.</p></div>

Can I remodel a basement myself?

• <div><p>Unless you have extensive experience in construction work, remodeling a basement is best left to a professional. There are several tasks associated with this project that require exact precision, including:</p><ul><li><p>Replacing insulation </p></li><li><p>Replacing carpet or other flooring </p></li><li><p>Adding heating and cooling</p></li><li><p>Adjusting or adding walls and doors</p></li><li><p>Altering or adding plumbing elements</p></li></ul><p>If any of these elements is done incorrectly, it could severely impact the quality of your basement remodel and be dangerous. Changing a basement often comes with <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/finished-basement-code-requirements.htm">code safety requirements</a>, like egress windows and proper ventilation. Therefore, leaving it up to a professional is often the best decision.</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: 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: What home projects do construction managers do?

• <div><p>In addition to overseeing new home builds, construction managers work on <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/renovate-vs-remodel.htm">large renovations and major remodels</a>. For example, they may work with designers and oversee the construction of a finished basement, kitchen renovation, or a home addition. They may also oversee large-scale remodels, such as the update of a historic home. Construction managers step into small projects for more specific assistance, such as building budgets and compiling the team.</p></div>
