Finishing your basement can do more than improve the look of your home. It can also increase your home's value and give you additional living space without having to go all-in with a home addition.

 

That said, it's natural to have a lot of questions about whether it's a feasible option for you, so we're going to review the answers to the most common basement remodeling questions.

 

What Does a Basement Remodel Include?

 

Typically, basement remodeling will include the addition of walls, ceiling, and flooring. However, if you're working with a blank slate, you may also need to have electric, gas, and plumbing work done to ensure that your basement is up to code.

 

Keep in mind that you're also going to need all of the necessary permits and at least one egress point like a large window. 

 

How Long Does a Basement Remodel Take?

 

Most basement remodeling takes one to two months to complete, but this can vary greatly depending on your basement's current condition and your overall vision for the project.

 

If you're creating an additional bedroom with a bathroom, that will take longer than simply laying down some tile and putting up walls. 

 

How Much Does a Basement Remodel Cost?

 

There's a pretty wide range, anywhere between $5,000 and $50,000 or more. Your basement size, material choices, design ideas, and even geographic location can increase or decrease your overall costs dramatically.

 

That said, to give yourself a better ballpark, expect to pay between $25 to $50 per square foot.
