Basement Remodeling Basics

Homeowners look forward to refinishing their basements so they can convert an unused space in their home into something extraordinary. Popular choices include a “man cave”, sports room, theater room, children’s play room, extra bedrooms, a bar, entertainment area, a second living area, and much more. Really, there are endless options for basement remodels, so it is solely up to the homeowner to decide what their family’s needs are, or the needs of their home.

Even though the options are endless, no one wants to move forward with a basement remodel until they have an idea of how much it’s going to cost. In fact, the total cost of a basement refinishing job largely influences what type of space conversion a person chooses. If a family has their hearts set on a new home theater, but also wish they had a fun play room for the kids, the cheaper option may end up being the winner. When something is out of budget, there are always other options.

Common Factors that Influence the Cost of Basement Remodeling:

Size and Square-Footage
Window Requirements (i.e. egress windows, replacement, number of windows, etc.)
Door Requirements (i.e. patio doors, glass doors, number of doors, etc.)
Appliances (i.e. sinks, refrigerators, cook-tops, full kitchens, etc.)
Extent of Electrical Work 
Flooring (i.e. custom carpets, hardwood floors, laminate, dance floor, stage, etc.)
Baseboards and Trim
Painting
Water Damage/Water Leak Repair
Support Pillars

A few of these factors are decision-based by personal preference, while others are critical parts of every basement remodeling project. It is vital to have water damages and leaks repaired and under-control before any work on a basement can move forward. The rest is simply interior design and customization. This is where you might control the budget. Once the major renovations and repairs are calculated, a homeowner can determine which amenities are most important and desirable, and weed out what they can afford and what they might think about doing later on when they have more disposable income.
