Q: Is it less expensive to finish a basement or add an addition?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s less expensive to finish your basement than it is to build an addition to your home. The average cost to refinish a basement is <b>$32,000</b> (between $7 and $23 per square foot) while building an addition to your home costs $50,325 ($80 to $210 per square foot). Depending on the size of your basement and other factors, like moving plumbing and electrical, refinishing a basement is a more cost-effective option in most cases.</p></div>

Q: How do I save money on basement remodeling costs?

• <div><p>Since DIYing a basement remodel isn't typically advised, there are some ways that you can still save money on this project without putting yourself in danger. Some <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/budget-basement-remodel.htm">ways to save money on a basement remodel</a> include:</p><ul><li><p>Painting walls yourself versus including in the cost of the remodel </p></li><li><p>Installing light fixtures yourself</p></li><li><p>Choosing prefabricated fixtures, like cabinets, over custom ones</p></li><li><p>Choosing a budget-friendly flooring option, like laminate or vinyl flooring, and add rugs where necessary</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Is an extension less expensive than a loft conversion?

• <div><p>Adding an extension or addition to your home costs more than a loft conversion in all but the rarest cases where the home's structural integrity is lacking. Because a home addition requires a new foundation section or significant structural upgrades to handle a cantilevered portion, the cost compared to almost any loft conversion is significantly greater for the same square footage.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to finish a basement?

• <div><p>Yes, finishing a basement is worth the money in most cases. Although the project is a relatively expensive one, finishing a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/are-basements-included-in-square-footage.htm">basement adds usable square footage</a> to your home and typically increases your home value. Many times, your finished basement will add value that&rsquo;s equal to or greater than the cost of finishing.</p></div>

Q: How hard is it to add a basement to an existing house?

• <div><p>The difficulty of adding a basement to an existing house can vary depending on the house&rsquo;s location, the size of the basement, and the type and condition of the existing foundation.

The spray team was on time and completed the job ahead of schedule. They answered all my questions and did not seem to mind my asking. Work looked great, I am very excited to have this more efficient insulation in my home. I recommend Jared and his team for your next home improvement.
