...BASEMENT FINISHING:
The Best Reasons to Finish Your Basement Now
- COST vs. VALUE - Finishing your basement today means a lower cost than waiting. Labor and materials are at all time lows, and will stiff competition all excess has been cut giving you the best value. Basement finishing is actually the best value per square foot of any home remodeling project. Compared to home additions, such as kitchen upgrades or even small projects to increase space, basements are the best value for your money. Undertaking a basement remodeling project will not only add value to your home; but you will be doing your part to spur the economy and provide a neighbor a job.
- SPACE and ORDER - Most families aren't using unfinished basement space effectively - with boxes or other items randomly stacked or scattered everywhere. A finished basement creates organized areas for shelving and storage, as well as living space. No more dark spaces full of cobwebs, searching for what you need! For living areas, adding large rooms with good lighting add beauty to your home and make it more inviting. After a professional basement finishing project, many people claim they'd rather spend time in their basement than anywhere else in the home!
- ENTERTAINING and ENTERAINMENT - Going hand-in-hand with your newly finished basement space is the room to accommodate visitors- especially family. Many clients request rooms for extended family - separate bedrooms, bathrooms, living rooms and even kitchens mean enjoyable visits even for extended terms! As entertainment space for your family, a finished basement can provide simple TV rooms or something as involved as a luxurious home theater space with surround sound and tiered seating. When families spend so much time "hanging out" in the basement, adding great entertainment pieces like game rooms or pool tables make a finished basement a popular place for parties.
- INCOME and RESALE VALUE - With the addition of separate living areas such as bathrooms and kitchens, a basement apartment can rent for as much as 75% of your monthly mortgage - a great way to add extra income. Knowing you are creating an investment in your home helps offset the up-front cost of remodeling. For resale value, finished basements are always in high demand. Clients who have finished basements have received returns on investment of over 150%!
