Q: Should I buy or build a custom basement bar?

• <div><p>If you have the woodworking experience to build a bar from scratch and you have the time, DIYing the work is a no-brainer and can save a few thousand dollars. However, if you&rsquo;re looking to include a sink, additional lighting fixtures, or high-end bar tops and cabinets, it&rsquo;s usually a better idea to call in a pro. It will cost more, but the finished product will likely be worth it.</p></div>

Q: Can I remodel a basement myself?

• <div><p>Unless you have extensive experience in construction work, remodeling a basement is best left to a professional. There are several tasks associated with this project that require exact precision, including:</p><ul><li><p>Replacing insulation </p></li><li><p>Replacing carpet or other flooring </p></li><li><p>Adding heating and cooling</p></li><li><p>Adjusting or adding walls and doors</p></li><li><p>Altering or adding plumbing elements</p></li></ul><p>If any of these elements is done incorrectly, it could severely impact the quality of your basement remodel and be dangerous. Changing a basement often comes with <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/finished-basement-code-requirements.htm">code safety requirements</a>, like egress windows and proper ventilation. Therefore, leaving it up to a professional is often the best decision.</p></div>

Q: Is it OK to live in a finished basement?

• <div><p>Living in a finished basement is acceptable, but only if the space has the proper points of egress and includes smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors to ensure the safety of the occupants. A good way to ensure your finished basement is suitable for use as living space is to get the basement finishing project properly permitted. </p></div>

Q: How do I save money on basement remodeling costs?

• <div><p>Since DIYing a basement remodel isn't typically advised, there are some ways that you can still save money on this project without putting yourself in danger. Some <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/budget-basement-remodel.htm">ways to save money on a basement remodel</a> include:</p><ul><li><p>Painting walls yourself versus including in the cost of the remodel </p></li><li><p>Installing light fixtures yourself</p></li><li><p>Choosing prefabricated fixtures, like cabinets, over custom ones</p></li><li><p>Choosing a budget-friendly flooring option, like laminate or vinyl flooring, and add rugs where necessary</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What adds the most value to a basement?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/finished-vs-unfinished-basement.htm">Finishing an unfinished basement</a> adds the most value, with an average return of 70% or $22,400. A bathroom addition in the basement will provide an ROI of 75%, but the higher cost will leave you with a lower actual return of $9,000, on average. Finishing a basement and adding a kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom to rent the space will leave you with the highest possible ROI, as you could see well over 100% if you rent the space out long-term.</p></div>
