Basements can easily become an afterthought when building or moving into a newer home. It was one of those spaces that you could “get to later” but just never did. If you have a neglected and underutilized unfinished basement, Talee Renovations can help.
Here are some reasons by you should finally finish the basement:
Expand your living space
Basement renovations in Calgary can turn your gloomy, drab basement into a cozy family hang-out space. Having a finished basement will nearly double your functional living space. Instead of being a dumping ground for storage items, transform it into a space for entertaining, relaxing, playing, and working-from-home.
Your basement can include a family or entertainment room, spare bedroom, additional bathroom, and even a space for a home office. Or, you can create a playroom for the kids, an at-home gym, or a workshop to work on hobbies. Start using that valuable living space with professional basement development.
Improve property value
Having a finished basement will improve the market value of your home. Plus, it will be valuable to you to have while you’re living there. This cost vs. value report shows that a basement renovation can recoup 70% of its cost. So, if you spend around $70,000 on basement development in Calgary, you can add nearly $50,000 to the overall value of your home. That property value increase and ROI are significant.
You can take it a step further and create a legal secondary suite in your basement. If you don’t need the space yourself, renting it out to tenants is a smart way to earn income and cover living expenses. Plus, having a secondary suite will attract real estate investors and drive up resale value should you decide to sell.
Create a space for guests or a growing family
Adding bedrooms and an additional three-piece bathroom in the basement is a great idea for growing families. These spaces are also perfect for households that receive guests. Bathroom additions increase resale value, and bedrooms are so versatile that they can meet your changing needs. They might be a guest room today, a teenager’s room tomorrow, or a home office down the road.
