A basement that’s unfinished is a space with wasted potential in your home. Working with Premier Construction, you can create more functional room in your home while adding value.
Each year, Remodeling Magazine releases reports on cost vs. value of popular home renovations. The typical return on investment (ROI) of finishing a basement is around 75%. That makes it one of the best home remodeling investments you can make. Another bonus: when you’re finishing a basement, you’re likely adding more bedrooms and bathrooms, storage, etc. All things potential buyers are looking for, if and when you decide to resell.
By installing a dehumidifier, the moisture level in a basement can be cut down quite a bit. However, as we know, Iowa springs and summers can bring a lot of rain. A sump pump will help remove any excess water that may make its way into a basement in an emergency situation. Plus, a sump pump that works properly can actually add value to your home. When a basement is kept dry, it can protect the structural integrity of the home.
If you’re thinking of adding a bedroom to your basement, in order for it to be considered an actual bedroom in Iowa, you must install an egress window. The window has to be large enough for a firefighter to fit through it wearing all of their gear. Safety is key and with an egress window, your family’s safety is kept a priority.
When your basement is unfinished, your home just has a bunch of wasted space. If you have a ranch with 1,500 square feet above grade living area and a 1,500 square foot unfinished basement, you could double your living space. It sounds like a no-brainer, right?
If you’re running out of room upstairs, finishing your basement could be much easier (and more cost-effective) than buying a new, larger home. By creating more space downstairs, you free up that space upstairs. Just think of how much easier it would be to keep your house clean if you had more storage.
