Basement Finishing Cost

Finishing a basement for sure adds value to the property and extra square footage to accommodate the needs of any family. In most cases,  clients want to add that extra room for their teenage girl/boy or that rec room for family fun time.  The potential to use the extra space comes with its price tag based on its mere use. 

For personal use, there is always a need for a bathroom, a new laundry, or a 2 pc bathroom with a room and area that covers the electrical/HVAC room. 

Different elements are involved in the process such as Framing, Insulation (Soundproofing optional) Drywall, Taping, Painting, Flooring, Baseboard, Doors, Windows, Pot lights, rough in for bathroom and a kitchen. With current rising price of materials, one can expect for $29-$36 per square foot.
