We're often asked what to expect when remodeling a basement. To answer this, we'll address three topics: Basement remodeling costs, realistic project timelines and the benefits of having a full-service design/build firm handle your remodel from start to finish.
Cost
$125,000 - $300,000 & up
- Basements in older homes require much more work than those in newer homes. They typically require a complete system overhaul, bringing electrical, plumbing and HVAC up to code and possibly expanding the footprint of the space. We can create completely new layouts, enlarge existing, add new windows for more light, build new, safe staircases, dig out crawl spaces, lower the floor and much more.
Timeline
- Design & Pre-Construction: typically 2-4 months
- Engineering & Permitting: typically 1 month
- Construction: typically 4-6 months
