Considering turning an unfinished basement or crawlspace into a more appealing area in your home? Tired of damp or dark spaces that can only be used for junk storage? There are many tangible benefits to finishing your basement or crawlspace. Below are some benefits of a finished basement for 2020. Give yourself the gift of a finished basement this year.
Cost-Efficiency
Nothing adds more usable space to your home than finishing the basement. Basement refinishing is far more affordable than other remodeling projects when comparing the square-foot renovation costs.
Open Floor Plans
Because the basement is an open space, you have the ability to make the space anything you like without the hassle of knocking down walls or removing existing features. The basement is the perfect space to add the features you are missing upstairs, whether you want a game room, a playroom or a home theater.
Increase The Home’s Value
The overall value of your home is impacted by many factors, including the usable space indoors. A home that features a finished basement is very attractive to buyers, allowing you to earn more when selling your home.
Inviting Comfort
Transforming your basement into an open, inviting space is a simple way to enjoy your home. Families with finished basements often say it is their favorite space in the home.
Space for Guests
A finished basement can easily become a guest apartment for family and friends to enjoy. The space is often large enough for a living room, kitchen or kitchenette, bathroom and bedroom, allowing your guests to feel at home, whether they are visiting for a night or for an extended time.
Family-Style Entertainment
Whether you want a big screen television, a state of the art gaming center, or a space to relax and watch movies with the kids, the basement is a great place to spend time with your friends and family, have parties or just hang out with your immediate family.
Rental Space
If you are looking for extra income, a basement apartment allows you to easily earn extra income each month. The rent for the apartment could pay for the basement renovation in just a short time.
Organizational Space
Refinishing the basement with lighting, shelves and a separate storage space is a simple solution to storing your seasonal or sentimental items. With a finished basement, you don’t have to worry about moisture damage, and the well-organized space allows you to find the things that you need quickly and easily.
Temperature Control
A professionally finished basement is cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Today, a wide variety of building materials are available to ensure the basement is well-insulated and comfortable. This helps reduce heating and cooling costs throughout the year.
Affordable Materials
With the rising cost of building materials, especially in regions with fast growth, now is the time to finish your basement. You can take advantage of reasonably priced materials to create a space that you and your family enjoy for many, many years to come.
