Remodeling a basement can add a lot of value to your house. Creating more usable living space for your family to enjoy, improving the overall monetary value of your home, income source, a remodel can also add a more desirable selling point. If you are choosing to sell in the future a finished basement can be a deal maker!
The question to ask yourself is a basement renovation worth it? What are the steps to get the process going? How long will the remodel take? Most importantly, how much is it going to cost?
Is It Worth Finishing a Basement?
Definitely! The benefits could be additional guest room or rooms, home office, home gym, family room, in-law apartment or even a rental apartment. The options are endless. Your basement is a blank canvas for you to create what fits your needs. Any option you choose, you’ll be adding usable space and valuable square footage to your home. It’s a win-win!
A basement renovation has the potential to add significant value to your house. If you’re planning to sell soon, a finished basement can mean the difference between full asking price and a lowball offer or no offer at all. And the return on investment (ROI)? It can be up to 50%-80%.

The magic begins…….
How long does a Basement remodel take?
Our average basement project remodel timeframe from the signed “final” contract, (this is after the design process) is approximately 16 weeks to completion. The design process and what has been chosen to do with your basement can take some time as well. Some things that may make the project longer than the 16 weeks are “unknowns” and change orders. All existing new remodels must be built to today’s building codes and opening existing walls can have unknowns behind them. I have added the famous emotional roller coaster remodeling project page here. 😊 Most of our customers find this extremely helpful during a remodel.
What does a Basement remodel cost?
The cost of your basement remodel depends on what you would like to have completed. For instance, you can have a basic basement for around 55k plus, a midlevel basement 75K plus and an upscale basement approximately 95K plus. See our cost to remodel guidelines here.
