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>

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>

How long does a basement remodel take?

• <div><p>Assuming you are going for a full remodel for an average-sized basement with a reputable contractor, the process can take up to two weeks or more. Remember that basements have many stairs and often difficult access—it’s not like working in the entryway. The shuttling of materials, increased need for ventilation and safety precautions, and making sure everything can be removed through a doorway all increase time and cost.</p></div>

Q: Is it cheaper to build up or add a basement?

• <div><p>Building up by adding square footage to the top of your home is often less expensive than adding a basement, but it depends on the specifics of your house, your property, and supply costs. Because building a basement requires excavation, it can be a more expensive option than building up.</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>
