Basement Features

consider which features you needIt's important to consider what's best not only for you personally but what could work in terms of resale. Basements are commonly converted into guest bedrooms with en suite facilities, laundry rooms, office space for those working from home, hobby rooms, game rooms, home entertainment areas and even separate apartments. It's important to remember that the size and design of the space may effect what types of conversions are possible, which will in turn have an impact on building costs.

Design Decisions

Most contractors offer a consultation during which ideas will be discussed in terms of the materials and labor required, resulting in a price estimate. These important design decisions should take into account how well the renovation will complement the rest of your home, and homes in your area. A renovated basement should feel like a natural extension of the existing home and not an afterthought. Don't bring down your five-star home with a shabby refurbishment.

Check for Dampness Beforehand

Although you may be excited about remodeling works, it’s essential to see what levels of dampness is present in this area before getting started. This will help you to make the best possible choices with regards to which flooring and paint products to use that will keep existing dampness at bay.
For example, if higher levels of dampness than normal are found, it is not recommended that carpeting be used on the floor. Over time, carpeting will absorb much of the dampness, causing it to rot and develop mold. It is also a good idea to use mold repellent paint in damp areas.
Our experienced contractors will be able to determine how damp it is before starting any work. Once this has been done, they will provide you with recommendations regarding which finishes are going tol be the most suitable for your basement area.

How Much Will Basement Remodeling Cost?

how much does remodeling Broward County basements cost? Basement finishing can be pricey depending on the design and extent of the project including labor and material costs. The larger the space and the more extensive the remodeling, the more expensive the project is going to be. Certain materials such as granite and hard wood will also cost more. Should the refurbishment require plumbers and electricians, this may also affect the cost. Don't be shy to ask the Broward County professionals about cheaper alternatives on everything from the design to the fittings.

DIY?

We don't recommend attempting a DIY approach. The list of things that could wrong during a DIY remodeling is a long one: structural problems, insulation issues, incorrect wiring, inadequate plumbing, badly fitted tiles, and the improper installation of appliances. A DIY job gone wrong might end up costing you more in the long run while putting your family in harm's way. Why risk a potentially dangerous DIY when trusted companies are ready to work on your project?
