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

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: What costs are associated with basement remodeling?

• <div><p>Costs are guided by renovation scope, materials chosen, project duration, structural needs, and labor. Prioritizing tasks prevents unforeseen expenses.</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 finish a basement with no windows?

• <div><p>Egress windows or doors are required in finished basements to meet safety and building codes. If your basement is unfinished and used as a storage space, egress windows are not required, but anything considered a habitable space must have an additional point of egress in addition to the stairs.</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.

Worst contractor ever and Im talking about Chris. I hired this guy to do 4x4" drywall on my ceiling. First of all he doesn't cover anything with tarp or some protective sheet. My electronics are all covered with dust and he tried to clean my speaker with wet rag and now its stained. My young...

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...
