Is it worth it to finish a basement?

• <div><p>Yes, finishing a basement is worth the money in most cases. Although the project is a relatively expensive one, finishing a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/are-basements-included-in-square-footage.htm">basement adds usable square footage</a> to your home and typically increases your home value. Many times, your finished basement will add value that’s equal to or greater than the cost of finishing.</p></div>

How long does it take to frame a basement?

• <div><p>Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.</p></div>

Q: How do I budget for a basement remodel?

• <div><p>The average cost of remodeling a basement is <b>$30 to $75 per square foot</b>. 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 &ldquo;what if&rdquo; situations.</p></div>

Q: Do I need rebar on a basement floor?

• <div><p>Rebar is an essential part of reinforcing a basement floor, as not having it can impact its structural integrity. It helps absorb the tension factors that contribute to cracks in your floor and strengthens its load-bearing capabilities by evenly distributing the weight. Not including rebar could lead to an unstable floor, so don&rsquo;t skip it!</p></div>
