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’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>

Can you paint wires in a basement ceiling?

• <div><p>You technically can paint wires in a basement ceiling, but there are several important safety and code considerations. It's safe to paint non-metallic sheathed cable as long as the labeling remains visible. You can also paint low-voltage wires and conduit and junction boxes to help them blend into your basement. </p><p>However, you should not paint damaged or deteriorated wiring is a fire hazard because it poses a fire hazard. The same goes for painting over high-heat wires that connect to heat-generating appliances or systems. Be sure to avoid painting multiple coats onto any wires, as that traps heat and poses fire risks.</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>

Q: Is framing a basement challenging?

• <div><p>While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That&rsquo;s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation. </p></div>

Q: What are popular design options for basement remodeling?
