There are so many potential uses for a finished basement in your home. Do you need a family room? A recreational are dedicated for entertaining guests? How about a media room for watching movies or playing games? Or perhaps you’d like to create an apartment out of your basement, complete with a kitchen, bedroom, living and dining areas and perhaps a bathroom. With a complete living space like that, you could have room to house an older child or an aging parent. You could even rent out your basement apartment for additional monthly income!

In addition to adding more living space for your home, a finished basement can also add to the value of your house. Although you may not directly recoup the full 100% of the cost put into remodeling the basement when you sale your home, it will still likely increase the value of your home while simultaneously providing you with additional square footage to enjoy.
