Have you been debating whether to finish your basement? Are you wondering whether the cost is really worth it? We at Booher Remodeling Company want to give you a few reasons why basement remodeling is a home improvement you should consider.
1. Create livable space.
If you have an unfinished basement, chances are you spend very little time down there. Maybe you do a load of laundry or pull something out of a storage box, but the fact of the matter is that it’s not space you live in. Not true of a finished basement!
2. Expand your square footage.
Do you need more space? Finishing your basement is a great way to add square footage without having to do a room addition. You just work with the space you have.
3. Increase your home’s value.
According to Remodeling, the average cost of a basement remodel in 2015 is around $65,000. However, they go on to estimate that this home improvement increased the home’s value by about $47,000—meaning that homeowners could see about a 72% return on investment.
4. Have a space to entertain.
Is your family room or bonus room just not quite big enough when you’re entertaining friends and family? The basement is a great place to create a play area, in-home theatre, or game area.
5. Avoid the hassle of moving.
If you need more space but like your neighborhood, avoid moving by finishing your basement. Perhaps adding another bedroom or a bathroom will be the right home improvements to make you stay.
