“Ok Drama King, slow your roll, the man-cave will come,” jokes Melissa.
John smiles and rolls his eyes. “As the king decrees, so it shall be! Nah, just kidding. But really, we need to get this basement remodel going.”
“Where do you want to start?” asks Melissa. John frowns and strokes his beard as he thinks. “Well, I guess starting with basement remodeling costs would be good. Gotta make sure the price is right!”
Melissa chuckles. “Good one. Ok, so basement remodeling prices then. Let’s get on Google!” John shakes his head. “Let’s see if any local contractors to Worcester County have pricing or price blogs. Might find someone who can do what we want with our budget.”
Here’s what the couple discovers:
The Cost To Remodel A Basement
Basement remodeling costs can range from $52,000 to over $100,000. This is just for remodeling the basement area. The price is based on factors such as size, material choice, additions, location of the additions, damages, and extra features.
- Small basement remodels under 500 square feet: $52,000 to $62,000
- Average size basement remodels of 600 to 900 square feet: $62,000 to $78,000
- Larger basement remodels of 1,200 square feet or more: $125,000 and higher
The Cost For Basement Additions
Adding a standard half-bath can increase basement remodeling costs by about $10,000 to $15,000. A full bath can be $20,000 and up.
Adding a bedroom can increase basement remodeling prices by anywhere from $5,000 to $18,000. It depends on the location (find out more about this below).
The Cost Factors
Size is the most obvious factor. Larger basements take more materials, time, and labor. Smaller basements can be pricey too depending on material choice and other factors.
Material choice has a huge impact on basement remodeling costs. More expensive materials will drive up the price. But, they should look better for longer than lower-quality materials.
Additions like bedrooms and bathrooms will change the cost. It’s more work for more pleasure!
Location of the additions is kind of a complicated factor. It’s really about the windows. Basement bedrooms need a window people can use as an escape in case of fire. If we have to cut through the foundation and dig out the ground it’ll raise the cost.
Damages can be found before and during the remodeling process. They need fixing first or they’ll be a worse and costlier problem later.
Extra features are fun but increase basement remodeling prices. These include wet or dry bars, kitchenettes, and other features.
