What to Expect with a Basement Remodel in 2022


Is your basement nothing more than extra storage space?

Do you wish you could get more out of your home’s extra square footage? Now that we’re all home more often, would your basement benefit from a remodel?

If you want to expand your living space and get the most of your square footage, your basement is a great place to start.

As you start planning and before demo starts, there are some basics to consider as you work to turn your basement into livable space:

1. Check for moisture: Moisture is the number one enemy of basement finishing! If you have actual pooling of water, you may not be able to finish your basement. Minor moisture problems can be treated and cracks can be sealed, but it can be costly. Be sure to have your basement inspected for any potential leaks before you start the demo!

2. Plan for new walls: New walls not only make your space more aesthetically pleasing, but they make it easier to run electrical wires and provide space for receptacles. Walls can also make the room more insulated to noise and temperature.

3. Get electrical up to code: Your refinished basement will be required by local city and county regulations to provide a certain number of electrical outlets. Make sure you comply with code! Working with a contractor is a great way to make sure everything is done correctly and safely.
