Q: What is considered a finished basement?

• <div><p>A finished basement must have a heat and electrical supply with an entrance that meets building code requirements, such as a stairwell to the home's main living space. It often must include finished walls, ceilings, and floors. If the finished basement includes a bedroom, it should have a heat source, an egress window, and a closet.</p><p>Remodeling, as opposed to finishing, means altering an already finished basement by adding a bathroom, bedroom, or living area.</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 adds the most value in a renovation?

• <div><p>Renovations that add functionality or more comfortable floor space generally add the most value when remodeling your home. Attic or basement finishing can add floor space without altering the home's structure, saving you renovation money while adding valuable space. Smaller improvements, such as installing smart-home components or replacing entry doors and windows, also experience high ROIs. </p></div>

Q: Can you add a kitchenette to a basement?

• <div><p>Yes, you can add a kitchenette to a basement. However, you&rsquo;ll have to consider the costs associated with basement kitchenettes. If you&rsquo;re starting from scratch in an unfinished basement, you&rsquo;ll need to account for brand-new plumbing, electrical, flooring, and more in addition to the cost of the kitchenette. If you&rsquo;re putting a kitchenette in an already finished basement equipped with plumbing and electrical, you&rsquo;ll save considerable money. </p></div>

Last year, I got service on my basement fromÂ Everdry Waterproofing, Illinois. Until now, I have not encountered any problem since the service received. Also, the service was superb from the company. And I was enjoying my dry basement a lot and recommended them to my friends.

We had a lot of things for them to fix for our home that we built. They built the room sizes too small by 2 feet and our house ended up being 600 square feet less than it should have been. Our concrete cracked in the basement, walls and other places. The ceilings are now pulling away from the...

The most previous experience I had was extremely great. I am in the process of remodeling my basement, but I can only do so much at a time. I just recently had him come in and do a little bit of drywall, as well as paint the walls and do crown molding. The walls look beautiful, and it was done...
