Extra Space – A basement remodel is an excellent solution for acquiring additional space which you can then use for a variety of purposes. The extra space could be used for recreation, to host visitors from out of town and for entertainment.

Value – Finishing a basement offers the best price per square foot of any remodeling project. If you are looking to sell your home either in the near future or even down the road, a basement remodel is the best way to increase your home’s value. A general contractor can help you design the best basement remodel to fit your needs.

Versatility – A finished basement can serve many purposes. Unlike your main level, where often you only have a limited floor plan, a basement remodel allows you to realize the space you want and need during the construction phase.

Income – Basement apartments are a great way to add extra income and resale value to your home. On average, basements apartments rent at 75% of the cost of your monthly mortgage. This extra income can quickly offset the costs you accumulated during your basement remodel.

Multi-Family Living – It is becoming increasingly common for homes to include multi-generational living. A basement remodel can help you and your family create the space you need to enjoy living close to each other, while respecting each other’s privacy.
