How do you begin remodeling your basement?

If you want to remodel your basement, but you just don’t know where to start, you must first check for any water issues in your basement and repair any cracks in your foundation before you begin the planning process.

Once you are sure that the basement is waterproofed and the foundation is solid, you are ready to set a budget for your basement remodeling project.

The cost of a basement remodel is between 10 and 35 dollars per square foot. Assuming that the average basement is 1000 square feet, that would make the cost of a basement remodeling project lie between $10,000 and $35,000 depending on if you choose to do most of the work yourself or hire a home improvement contractor to do the work for you.

If you choose to hire someone to remodel your basement, be sure to check references and make sure that they are licensed and insured. You don’t want to hire a contractor that will do part of the work and then not follow through with their obligations, and you want someone that is experienced in basement remodeling and other quality home improvement work.

A professional basement finishing and remodeling company will be able to help you design your basement remodeling project from start to finish.

If you plan on doing most of your own work, you will want to begin by looking at they layout or blue print of your basement design.

Here are a few tips to get your basement remodeling project started.

Put the most socializing area in the spot that gets the most natural light to draw people in.

Bedrooms need a window for egress, so they’ll need to be located at the perimeter.

The TV viewing zone can be in a darker spot, to reduce glare and create a home theatre type feel.

Stack and beverage storage should be in a place that you can access without crossing in front of the TV.
