"Dan and his team were very professional and knowledgeable about the work. The planning and estimation process was very transparent. No hidden costs or surprises. All work is done legally with a professional contractor for plumbing and electrical work. Different options and recommendations are shared through out the project work. Crew was very polite, respectable and professional. They made sure no unnecessary noise was created and kept the house & working area clean. They would clean up after the work. I will recommend Beautiful Basements for any remodeling work and especially for the basement remodeling."

"Project was managed by James Deel from CARE Ohio. The work crew was fast, professional, and very personable. They took care of our house and garage, kept the work area immaculate, and stayed late until the job was done to their high standards. I have nothing but praise for Construction and Remodeling Experts, James Deel, Lloyd Hilton, and the entire roofing crew! I would strongly recommend them to anyone who wants a great looking roof on their home and wants the best bang for their bucks!"

Basement Remodel FAQs, answered by experts

Envision the type of bar experience you'd like to create for your guests. For example:

  • Does your basement have enough finished space for bar stools or seating?

  • What type of additional lighting would set the tone for the room?

  • Are there basement windows or an HVAC system?

  • Do you need new plumbing in your basement for a proper wet bar?

  • Could you be happy with a built-in wall cabinet bar rather than a full-scale wet bar?

Physically, the most challenging part of finishing a basement is installing egress windows or doors when the space is below ground level. Mentally, the hardest part may be envisioning the project and planning around load-bearing and mechanical obstacles.

Any bowing in a basement wall indicates a problem that needs to be addressed by a professional. If your basement wall bows more than 1 inch, it's time for an inspection. Generally, a wall can bow up to 30% of its thickness (around 2.5 inches for an 8-inch-thick wall) before it becomes an urgent situation. Bowing of 2 to 4 inches is more straightforward to fix than bowing of more than 4 inches, which will require significant repairs. If the bowing is more than 6 inches, the wall will likely need to be replaced. The sooner you address the problem, the easier and less expensive the repair will be.

When considering finishing your basement, take into account a few pros and cons:

Pros

  • Can increase the value of your home

  • Separate space from the rest of the house 

  • Customize and personalize the basement to suit your needs and style

  • Increase the amount of living space in your home

Cons

  • May not regain enough value to cover the cost of finishing

  • Lack of natural light if it’s below ground level

  • Moisture or flooding can cause costly damage

  • Installing plumbing and electrical can be messy and costly

The average cost of remodeling a basement is $30 to $75 per square foot. If your space is unfinished and looks like it may need more help, use the higher number when calculating your estimated basement remodeling costs. A good rule of thumb is to add an additional 20% to the top of your estimate to cover any “what if” situations.
