Q: Can I install a basement bathroom without breaking concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, you&rsquo;ll use a macerator pump to install a basement bathroom without breaking concrete. The purpose of breaking into concrete is to connect the drain pipes to the main sewer line. But a macerator pump will bypass this step and break up solids until they are soft enough to pass through a discharge pipe. That pipe will carry the waste to the sewage line.</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 renovations add the most value to a house?

• <div><p>Home improvements that increase value not only enhance quality of life but also offer a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/remodeling-projects-highest-roi.htm">high return on investment (ROI</a>). Replacing a garage door has one of the best ROIs at 93%. Other high-ROI projects include remodeling your kitchen, installing a stone veneer, and replacing windows. These updates make homes more appealing to buyers and improve functionality, which helps if you plan to sell your home in the future.</p></div>

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>
