Your basement has much more than just extra space to be used as storage for holiday and seasonal items. It also has the ability to increase your home’s value if it is finished properly. If you haven’t considered the fact that your home could be worth more after remodeling your basement to create additional living space, then you will want to speak to a contractor sooner than later.
Here are 6 other reasons to finish your basement:
- Cost: Many people choose to not remodel their basements, because they believe that it will cost too much money. However, a basement remodel can be less expensive than kitchen and bathroom remodels or a bedroom addition. Yet, you still get the extra space that you need and desire.
- Extra Income: You may be able to earn some extra income each month if you create a stand-alone apartment during your basement remodel. These types of apartments are normally larger than regular apartment units, so it is possible that you could charge a renter up to 75% percent of your mortgage each month.
- Flexibility: Your newly remodeled basement can be used in many different ways, and you get to choose which ones work best for you and your family. You can choose to create a family room, office, workout space, playroom, or any other space that you need.
- Entertaining: Since basements are so large, it is the perfect space for entertaining. You can create a large family room and set it up so that it works well for both small intimate gatherings as well as larger parties.
- Create Order: As you are remodeling your basement, you can create spaces for all those items that need to be stored at some point during the year. Imagine having a designated space for all your holiday decorations, sporting equipment, and more, without needing to trip over them throughout your home.
- Add Comfort: Your new basement will be the perfect place to sit and relax during the winter months, because you will have a cozy warm space where you can forget about the snow and ice piling up outside. During the summer months, your basement will be the coolest space in your home, and you won’t even need to turn the air conditioning on in the space.
