According to the Annual Cost vs Value report released by Remodeling Magazine no other project designed to increase livable space is cheaper. An addition requires added foundation, walls and a roof. A basement remodel does not require any of that because the basic structure is already in place. Finishing your basement is utilizing space that already exists. This is why basement remodeling offers the best value per square foot in comparison with additions.
Houses with finished basements are in high demand. You can receive up to 150% return on investment with a complete basement remodel. This is higher than any other remodeling project.
Basements are usually large areas so finishing your basement can add lots of livable space to your home. On average a basement remodel can increase your livable space by about a third. And some basement remodeling projects nearly double a home’s livable space.
Basement remodeling can make room for extended family or for a teenager who needs some privacy. Tired of tripping over toys? Basement remodels are a great way to add a play area so the little ones can play and not worry about the mess. You can build a special closet to store the toys when not in use.
