Basement Renovation: The Best Way to Add Space and Value to Your Home

Many single-family homes boast full or partial basements. When left unfinished, basements don't add much value or usable space to your home, besides possibly storage. By finishing your basement, you are taking advantage of a great opportunity to add more existing usable and livable space to your home while also adding value.

The first step in basement renovation is to determine what you will want to include. Would you like to create a new office space, kids' playroom, or maybe add an additional bedroom? After you determine what your new finished basement will be used for, it is time to determine your budget. The amount you spend on your basement remodel should reflect how long you plan to remain in your home. Unless you can confidently determine that you will be in your home for at least 5 more years to come, it is best to keep your basement renovation cost under 20% of your home's value.
