Q: Does a finished basement count toward a home's square footage?

• <div><p>A finished basement does not always count as square footage, as this varies by state regulations. In areas that allow below-grade spaces to be included in a home's official square footage, the basement must typically meet certain conditions. These conditions often include having a functional egress and being a livable space with flooring, finished walls, and temperature control. To be certain, contact your local assessor to confirm your area's specific policies regarding basement square footage.</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: Is it more affordable to finish an attic or a basement?

• <div><p>It is generally more affordable to finish a basement than an attic, though it ultimately depends on how you plan to use the space. The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-finish-basement.htm">cost to finish a basement</a> ranges from $7 to $23 per square foot, while attic renovation costs $30 to $60 per square foot. However, a simple attic conversion to a storage space will cost significantly less. </p></div>

Q: What is the most challenging part of finishing a basement?

• <div><p>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.</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>

Valderrama homes did a great job on a complete barn remodel. They made 100 year-old barn look new again but still keeping the charm of its original look. The job looks fantastic. They have also done other upgrades on other buildings and they all came out top-notch

"I called Jesus on Friday and asked if he would come to Grove and give us a quote to lay out flooring. He was there the next morning- wow talk about responsive! Once we were ready, he was able to get to our house the next week! The work was done extremely well. We had remodeled and didn’t want our freshly painted trim removed to lay the floor. No problem for Jesus and his team, there wasn’t even a scratch on the base boards. I highly recommend Jesus if you need great service and follow up. We will use Jesus again when we remodel or r downstairs!"

"I called him on very short notice. He came out and fixed the drywall, which was quit a problem. He cut out the drywall and got everything ready for the tiling. He did the job on Friday and called Saturday and asked if everything was okay. He came out on Saturday to help my husband on some things that we needed done without charging extra. I thought he was a very nice guy. He was concerned about the work and our satisfaction. I was really happy with the work. And that he helped my husband with tiling which we did not hire him for."
