If you’re looking for a home remodeling project to add to the comfort and convenience of the household, renovating the basement is a fantastic place to start. Remodeling the unfinished room will give your family more space to spread out. Below are a few additional reasons to give the basement a makeover.

3 Reasons to Opt for a Basement Remodel Project

1. A Boost in Property Value

If you ever put your property on the market, a finished basement will make your house more attractive to buyers. A remodeled cellar will add to the overall square footage of the property, as the space can be used for more than storage or holding laundry appliances and HVAC equipment. Because a finished basement makes your house more appealing, you can increase the asking price.

2. More Functional Space

From having more kids to moving aging family members into the home, quarters can become cramped quickly. If you need an extra bedroom, play area for the kids, or den for the family, a basement remodeling project is a cost-effective investment. Home remodeling contractors will move walls, install plumbing fixtures, and do anything else needed to give you more space without having to move to a bigger house.  

3. An Increase in Household Safety

When it rains, moisture often seeps through a property foundation and settles in the basement. It only takes 24 to 48 hours for mold and mildew to form on damp surfaces. This means family members could be exposed to harmful pathogens each time they enter the basement. Home remodeling specialists will insulate the walls and framing, caulk gaps between joists and insulation panels, apply floor coverings, and do other work to correct water problems and keep out moisture. This will prevent mold and mildew growth that could make your family sick.
