Q: Can you put an in-ground pool in your basement?

• <div><p>In many homes, an unfinished basement is an ideal place for an in-ground pool. The concrete floors, protection against water damage, and access to the ground below your home make this a large contender. Speak with a <a href="https://www.angi.com/companylist/remodeling-basements.htm">local basement remodeling contractor</a> to ensure your space is right for the large construction. </p></div>

Q: Should you refinish your basement?

• <div><p>Finishing a basement can provide a great return on investment, by increasing the market price of your home when you want to sell. Beyond that, there are many reasons to finish your basement. Doing so expands the usable square footage of your home, so you can enjoy it more, even as your family grows. Renovating your basement costs less in terms of time, energy, and money than having to search for and buy a new home.</p></div>

Q: Can I add a door to my basement?

• <div><p>Yes, you can add a door to your basement&mdash;it might even be required, depending on building codes in your area and whether or not you&rsquo;re using the basement as a bedroom. A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-questions-ask-basement-waterproofing-contractor.htm">basement contractor</a> can give you some advice on installation and help you add a door to your basement.</p></div>

Q: Can I convert a basement into a game room, and what are the challenges?

• <div><p>Basements are commonly converted into game rooms. The potential challenges you may run into include controlling moisture, working with low ceilings, limited natural light, and the need for additional electrical or HVAC work. Addressing these issues can add to the total cost, but it ensures a comfortable and functional space.</p></div>

Q: How much basement wall bowing is acceptable?

• <div><p>Generally, a wall can bow up to 30% of its thickness, or around 2.5 inches for an 8-inch-thick structure, before it becomes an urgent situation. If your basement wall bows more than 1 inch, it's time to have a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-inspect-your-basement.htm">basement inspection</a> to determine if a repair is necessary, depending on the soil conditions and structural specifics. Walls nearing 4 inches of bowing will require significant repairs. More than 6 inches of bowing usually means the wall will need replacing. </p></div>

"We recently hired Joe & 2T Construction to completely remodel our kitchen, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, the experience was smooth, professional, and stress-free. They began by handling the full demolition of our old kitchen with care and efficiency, making sure to minimize disruption to the rest of our home. Throughout the remodel, their communication was excellent—they kept us informed at every stage and were always available to answer our questions. He help design the new kitchen layout and had really great plans detailing the new kitchen layout. The craftsmanship and attention to detail were outstanding. Everything from the cabinetry and countertops to the flooring and lighting was installed with precision and care. The final result is not only beautiful but also highly functional. The team was punctual, respectful of our space, and cleaned up thoroughly each day. We appreciated their transparency with the budget and timeline, both of which were met as promised. We highly recommend 2T Construction to anyone considering a kitchen remodel. They exceeded our expectations in every way."
