If your home has a basement, but you aren’t utilizing that space, you can miss out on a lot of square footage. For some, the basement is a place to store unused equipment or clothing, but a basement can be much more beneficial than that. A complete basement remodel can increase your home’s value, or you can add rooms that you never knew you could have in your home. Before you start your basement remodel project, make sure to inspect for any possible water damage. The lowest place in your home is the most likely place for water to accumulate, so if you do find wet or mushy patches or mold growth, you will need to do some repair work first.
A basement remodel may require a permit, depending on the extent of the work. At Vision Design Build Remodel, our experienced contractors know the rules and requirements, so we can help you understand what you need for your project. If you have always wanted to add a theater room, consider adding extra insulation to the walls and ceiling around it, so the surround sound won’t bother people in other rooms of the home or your neighbors. Another popular choice for a basement is adding a home gym, where you and your family can get in shape without an expensive gym membership.
Recessed lighting is another popular option as part of a basement remodel. Since basement ceilings tend to be lower, adding a light fixture can be dangerous if someone bumps into it, but recessed lighting will add the light you want without taking up space.
