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’s equal to or greater than the cost of finishing.</p></div>

Q: How much does a basement remodel cost?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-basement-remodeling-cost.htm">cost to remodel a basement</a> is between <b>$12,100 and $33,400</b> for the average homeowner. The price you pay can be as little as $3,500 or as much as $50,200, depending on the size and condition of your basement and the type of remodel you're doing. </p><p>If you're doing a simple project like adding a home office to your basement, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000. However, if you're adding a bathroom, which is an extensive project, you can expect to pay between $6,600 to $16,500.</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>

Q: How do I budget for a basement remodel?

• <div><p>The average cost of remodeling a basement is <b>$30 to $75 per square foot</b>. If your space is unfinished and looks like it may need more help, use the higher number when calculating your estimated basement remodeling costs. A good rule of thumb is to add an additional 20% to the top of your estimate to cover any &ldquo;what if&rdquo; situations.</p></div>

Q: Would the newly raised basement ceiling need to be finished?

• <div><p>You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-paint-walls-ceiling-and-trim.htm">paint your ceiling</a> or install a drywall ceiling if the ceiling is unfinished, as they take up less headroom than drop ceilings. </p><p>If there are pipes in the way of ceiling installation, you can do one of two things: reroute the pipes or adjust the installation to fit, which will cost extra.</p></div>

"It was a steady process. Of course there were hiccups along the way, but with Renaissance & myself working as a TEAM on this project, everything was done & done well. I do believe that is KEY on any project, especially one of this size. I told Jamie at the beginning of the project that communication was VERY important to me. Jamie was quick to address any questions or concerns I had. He picked up my calls every time. I will hire Renaissance Restoration for all home improvements and/or updates."
