Q: What are the disadvantages of a walkout basement?

• <div><p>Walkout basements cost more than other kinds of basements, and can also increase your risk of leaks as well as a loss of insulation, leading to higher heating and cooling costs. Improperly installed walkout basements may lead to structural issues with your foundation, so ensure you&rsquo;re working with a contractor who has extensive experience with this kind of basement. </p></div>

Q: Will adding a walkout basement increase home value?

• <div><p>Yes, adding a walkout basement will usually bump up your property value. Most homeowners prefer walk out basements because the exposed wall that&rsquo;s level with the ground provides more utility via a ground-level exterior entrance, and they can fit full windows, which adds natural light and ventilation to the basement area. The only exception might be in areas prone to tornadoes, as walkout basements aren&rsquo;t as safe as regular basements during a tornado, particularly if they include large windows or glass sliding doors.</p></div>

Q: Can you jack up a house and add a basement?

• <div><p>Lifting a house and adding a basement is one way to add usable square footage. Lifting or jacking a house is a complex process, and it can be expensive, not to mention that you won&rsquo;t be able to live in your house while it&rsquo;s lifted, due to safety concerns. Lifting a house should only be done by experienced professionals.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if my basement walls are suitable for finishing?

• <div><p>To determine if your basement walls are suitable for finishing, assess their structural integrity and moisture conditions. Look for any signs of damage, such as cracks, bowing, or excessive moisture. Ensure proper drainage and address any underlying issues before proceeding. </p><p>Consult with a professional if you're uncertain about the structural stability or potential risks associated with finishing your basement walls.</p></div>

Q: What is the hardest room to renovate?

• <div><p>While bathrooms and kitchens are nearly equal in terms of renovation difficulty, kitchens are the most challenging. Kitchen design, layout, electrical, and plumbing needs all depend on each other for the success of the entire project, and mistakes early in the project can cause trouble later on. </p></div>
