Benefits of a Remodeled Basement

When most people think about a basement, they see in their minds a dark, dank, smelly place where you keep things you may need some day. But most people don’t think about the benefits of a remodeled basement.

Certainly, added storage is a plus for a remodeled basement, but that’s only one of many. And the kind of storage you can have is the kind where you can put any keepsake you can think of and be assured it will continue to be just as beautiful and useful as the day you stored it.

Another benefit of a remodeled basement is the functional and beautiful room you can make there. In essence, when you add a room in your basement, it can look just like the best room in your home upstairs. This can add more bedroom space, a man cave, a theater room, or even an in-law apartment.

Adding another room in your remodeled basement can add to the value of your home, also. Even though you may not be thinking about selling your home now, in the future an additional room downstairs will add to the square footage of your home. Many people who are looking to buy will appreciate the added space.

When you remodel your basement and add a room, it will be less expensive to build another bath there. Usually, you’ll have access to the plumbing and electrical wiring in the basement. This means less time spent hooking up these utilities and lower overall cost.

You will also get the benefit of more energy savings with a remodeled basement. You’ll have more insulation, more carpeting, more drywall. All these will decrease your cost to heat or cool your home. Remodeling your basement will lead to sealing up cracks and small holes that before had sapped the heated and cooled air out of your house.

A remodeled basement is less expensive to do than a remodeled kitchen or bathroom. It’s not unusual to see a significant return on this investment when you sell your home, sometimes as much as 50% — or more.

Another major benefit of a remodeled basement is the fact that it’s less intrusive for your family. You get to continue living in the rest of your home upstairs while the basement is being remodeled.
