Boutique Basement Finishing
Increase Your Home Value by Finishing Your Basement
Basement finishing is the process of making a basement look more like the rest of your house. This process can include improving the appearance, insulation, and structural integrity of your basement.
Improving the appearance can include adding drywall, paneling, or paint. Improving insulation includes adding insulation to walls and floors with blanket insulation. Structural improvements are done by adding steel beams and increasing wall thickness to improve load-bearing capacity.
Why get your basement finished?
Basement finishing is a lot more than just hanging drywall on the walls. It can include installing a ceiling, wall insulation, adding a bathroom, flooring, and trim.
The benefits vary from person to person and house to house, but here are some of the most popular reasons for finishing your unfinished basement:
- Increased living space.
- Improving the resale value of your home.
- Enhanced insulation and air quality.
- A finished space is overall more useful.
- Creating a mancave of your dreams.
A finished basement can be a great space to use for entertainment, guest rooms, or even a new living area. There are tons of benefits to getting your basement finished.
Increased Living Space
For centuries, living spaces were limited to the top floors of a house or building. As time went on, more rooms were created with each subsequent story of the home. Today, we have more options for the spaces we need whether it’s to have some privacy, like a guest bedroom or bathroom, or for a growing family with an additional living room, laundry space, or game room.
Finished basements are one of the latest trends in homeownership because they not only provide you with more square footage but also the opportunity to get creative with your ideas and make your basement space your own!
Enhanced Insulation and Air Quality
Basements are used for storage and to house mechanicals such as furnaces, water heaters, and electrical panels. Without insulation, basement walls tend to be cold (especially in the winter) and damp. This can lead to mold growing on the walls, which is not only unsightly but also can cause respiratory problems.
It’s important not just to insulate the basement walls but also to use appropriate insulation that meets code or exceeds code requirements in order to reduce moisture that may creep into a home through the basement wall.
Better resale value
Many homes can see an increase in tens of thousands of dollars just from finishing their basements. This gives a house that previously just had an empty storage room, but now has a full space for parties, games, workouts, and more!
It’s often roomier than an upstairs bedroom. Most bedrooms are only pieces of the house but, with a basement, it can become a much roomier and full living space to beat out even the master bedroom if done properly.
With a finished basement, you have a new space for visitors or guests to stay in your home as well. Your basement can be the new hangout spot for kids when they need their own common space or even a movie room for the whole family to enjoy time together.
At that same token, a finished basement, when not done properly, can actually decrease the value of a home. The reason is that it takes away from the curb appeal and makes it harder to sell because the basement will be closed off, not a visible space, and potentially pose mold problems.
It is often said that it’s better to have your basement completed by professionals so you can avoid these issues. This all depends on how much time and money you want to invest in your home and what you value as more important – saving time and adding value or saving money and risking value.
