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>

Q: How long does it take to finish a basement?

• <div><p>Finishing a basement normally takes four to eight weeks, but the timeline depends on the size of your basement, your contractor's availability, and the extent of finishing work. Framing the basement will take three to five days, while adding electrical and rough-in plumbing can be another three to five days. Adding drywall can take five days, and floor installation can take two to three days. Final touches, like painting and adding trim, will take another week.</p></div>

Q: What room is the most expensive to renovate?

• <div><p>It may not come as a surprise that the kitchen is the most expensive room in the house to renovate. This is due to the expensive appliances like the range, hood, and fridge, but also because the bones of the room&mdash;like electrical and plumbing&mdash;are expensive to move or replace. While there are ways to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-should-kitchen-remodel-cost.htm">renovate a kitchen on a budget</a>, it will always carry a hefty price tag, even if you cut some corners.</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: What adds the most value in a renovation?

• <div><p>Renovations that add functionality or more comfortable floor space generally add the most value when remodeling your home. Attic or basement finishing can add floor space without altering the home's structure, saving you renovation money while adding valuable space. Smaller improvements, such as installing smart-home components or replacing entry doors and windows, also experience high ROIs. </p></div>

The repairman provided options for the repair and I went with the cheaper option. Which was the correct assessment. He finished in less than 15 minutes. He also provided a solution to unclog in the future if it occurs again.
