A finished basement is an empty canvas you can transform into anything you desire! Not to mention, it will increase your home value. What are you waiting for?
If your basement is finished and being utilized, there is a good chance it is one of the most popular spaces in your home. If your basement is currently an unfinished, dark and dusty place for storage – there is a good chance you are avoiding it at all costs. Finishing your basement is one of the most beneficial remodeling projects, with flexible design options and financial perks. Let’s talk about why.
Increase Your Home Value
A home with a finished basement is worth more than a home with an unfinished basement for several reasons. Finishing your basement helps save you money on future energy costs, since unfinished basements are poorly sealed and insulated. If you plan to sell your home one day, a finished basement will boost its value – resulting in a faster, fairer sale. A potential buyer isn’t going to want to spend any more time in your unfinished basement than you do, and likely won’t want to purchase a home with something major on its to-do list off the break.
Utilize Your Space Creatively
Unfinished basements are large, empty canvases that you can transform into whatever you desire. Could you use another sitting room to enjoy television? What about a home theater to entertain guests? How about a wine cellar or home bar? You can get as creative as you want when remodeling your basement.
Income
It’s not uncommon to finish or remodel a basement to feature a master suite (implementing a bedroom, bathroom, and kitchenette) that could function as its own apartment. If you have overnight guests or family members staying long-term, it is a perfect and private option to make both parties comfortable without feeling crowded in your space. It could also serve as a great source of income if you choose to rent it out, as the cost of many basement rentals can return 75% of your monthly mortgage cost. It’s a great way to make money and offset the price of the project.
