Q: How long does a typical basement remodel take?

• <div><p>Project timelines vary significantly, typically from weeks to months, depending on design complexity and active permitting processes.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to finish a basement?

• <div><p>It costs an average of $32,000 to finish a basement, and most projects total between $15,000 and $75,000. If you just want to make the space look a bit nicer and don&rsquo;t need to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-turn-basement-into-living-space.htm">convert the basement to legal living space</a>, you could spend as little as $3,000 to install drywall and flooring. On the other end of the spectrum, your costs could rise to $100,000 if you want to make structural changes to the space, repair existing structural damage, waterproof your basement, or install a kitchen and bathroom along with living space.</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>

Q: What are the hardest parts of finishing a basement?

• <div><p>Roughing in and connecting utilities are the hardest parts of finishing a basement, and they&rsquo;re the parts we typically don&rsquo;t recommend doing as a DIY project. Unfortunately, your finishing timeline can be extended by weeks while you wait for contractors and inspectors to install electrical wiring, plumbing lines, and heating/cooling equipment and carry out inspections.</p></div>

Q: Is a walkout basement below grade?

• <div><p>A walkout basement is considered to be partially below grade because at least one wall is entirely exposed. In some cases and in specific municipalities, inspectors and appraisers will still count walkout basements as below grade, which means the space can&rsquo;t serve as living space or be rented out. If you intend on using the area as living space or a separate apartment, you should check with your local building department to make sure it&rsquo;s legal to do so.</p></div>
