Q: Can I add a door to my basement?

• <div><p>Yes, you can add a door to your basement&mdash;it might even be required, depending on building codes in your area and whether or not you&rsquo;re using the basement as a bedroom.

Q: How hard is it to put a bathroom in a basement?

• <div><p>Installing a bathroom in a basement isn&rsquo;t a project for most homeowners. Many parts&mdash;plumbing, electricity, and carpentry&mdash;go into this project, each requiring expert-level knowledge and tools. One miscalculation can lead to very expensive repairs. Plus, some homeowner&rsquo;s insurance might not pay for damages caused by a homeowner DIYing this project. You can protect yourself by allowing the pros to complete this job for you. </p></div>

Q: Is an extension less expensive than a loft conversion?

• <div><p>Adding an extension or addition to your home costs more than a loft conversion in all but the rarest cases where the home's structural integrity is lacking. Because a home addition requires a new foundation section or significant structural upgrades to handle a cantilevered portion, the cost compared to almost any loft conversion is significantly greater for the same square footage.</p></div>

Bob remodeled our basement for us and did an excellent job. He completed the job the way he would have if he was doing it for himself. A few different times he wasn't happy with his own work and redid it without even having to be told. It's okay about 6 weeks to complete the basement...
