A basement remodel not only enhances your living space, but can add value to your home. In general, you can increase the usable space by adding a play room, extra bedroom or a space for a home office. In fact, this strategy is actually cheaper than adding a traditional addition to your home.
Before you begin work on your basement remodel, you should make sure any water or moisture problems are addressed by waterproofing your basement. Furthermore, waterproofing your basement is essential to the health and structural integrity of your home.
By waterproofing your basement, you are getting the most out of your basement remodel.
When it comes to the basement remodel itself, be prepared to take time planning. If you already have an existing basement, then half your battle is already over. Simply adding a new color and/or type of flooring can really freshen up your space.
However, when it comes to paint selection, it’s important to stick with light colors. In particular, you will want to keep your walls
bright in your basement remodel. Basements can quickly take on a cave-like appearance without proper basement design. It’s important to choose a wall color that keeps the space as light as possible.

Basement Remodel: Unfinished Basements
If you are starting with an unfinished basement, your basement remodel will take just a little more effort. An easy way to finish your basement floor is to choose the simple route of staining a drab grey floor with some other color. Also, this can really save money on things like flooring materials for a subfloor install. Not only does it save time and money, but it looks great too.
Ultimately, a basement remodel is a great way to up the value of your home and increase your overall usable square footage. Nonetheless, keep in mind the space needs to be properly sealed, conditioned and waterproofed. To clarify, it’s best practice to have your foundation inspected to ensure it’s structurally round prior to beginning the work.
