Why Should You Finish Your Basement?

Homeowners have many reasons for wanting to finish their basement in Charlotte, such as:

Extra square footage for a fraction of the cost: Do you wish your home were bigger? Finishing the basement creates additional living space at a much lower cost than adding onto your house somewhere else.
A place to add luxurious amenities: You might not have space upstairs for a theater room, but finishing the basement makes room for fun, distinctive features like this.
Increased home value: If you eventually sell your home, a finished basement is a significant differentiator that will help your property stand out.

The type of living space you create from the previously unused square footage is entirely up to you. Some popular options include:

Playroom: Tired of the kids’ toys being all around the living room? Make the basement a playroom to eliminate this problem.
Home theater: The basement provides the perfect movie-watching experience because you can design a theater room without windows.
Recreation space: Picture a 4K TV in front of a reclining sofa with built-in wall speakers to provide surround sound. Off to the side are a pool table, poker table, and wet bar. You and your friends will never want to hang out anywhere else.
Storage and laundry room: A little practicality never hurt anyone. Tuck these utility spaces away from the main living area.
Wine cellar: Put your collection on display with room to expand in the future.
Apartment suite: Turn the extra square footage under your home into a moneymaker by finishing it into an apartment suite you can rent out.

Frequently Asked Questions About Basement Remodeling

Is it worth finishing a basement?

You should jump at the chance to add square footage to your home. Unlike other home additions, basements have walls, ceilings, and floors before you even begin to remodel, saving you money on your project.

Basement renovations also offer unique opportunities, such as putting in a windowless home theater or a playroom where the kids can be as noisy as they want.

In addition to improving your quality of life, finishing your basement offers an impressive return on investment of around 79%.

How much does it cost to finish a 1,000-square-foot basement?

Estimates range from $7 to $50 per square foot. This means you could expect to spend between $7,000 and $50,000 to finish a 1,000-square-foot basement. If the space already has drywall and a concrete floor, expect a lower cost per square foot.

If you use luxury materials or hire an interior designer, know the cost will be toward the higher end. You’ll also need to factor in furniture and decor.

How can I remodel my basement cheaply?

Finishing a basement is already one of the most cost-effective ways to expand your living space. Since labor makes up 10% to 25% of the project’s budget, you can save money by doing some of the work yourself.

Just remember you should always leave plumbing, electrical, and other technical aspects of the project to a licensed professional.

What do I need to remodel my basement?

Here are the steps you’ll follow when finishing the basement:

Decide how you want to use the space
Set your budget
Clean out the existing space
Apply for a permit
Understand building codes and requirements
Address moisture
Insulate the walls and floor
Add electrical wiring and plumbing fixtures
Frame any new walls
Finish the walls, floor, and ceiling
Enjoy the newfound space

Is it illegal to have a bedroom in the basement?

No. In fact, adding an extra bedroom or an apartment suite in the basement is a popular choice. You need to include a code-compliant egress window in all basement bedrooms.

This means the window must be large enough (at least 24 inches tall and 5.7 square feet when open) and low enough (no more than 44 inches above the finished floor) to escape through in an emergency.
