Is Finishing Your Basement Right For You?

Ready to use your basement for more than storage and laundry? Let us help you turn your unfinished basement into an extension of your home by adding a comfortable entertainment area, luxurious spa bathroom, guest bedroom, home office, rec room, gym, wet bar, and wine room. If you’re considering giving your basement a makeover, you’ve come to the right place!


Finishing a basement adds value to your home if you ever decide to sell, and it also gives you the rare gift of added square footage without tacking on an extension to your home. 


Basements are often wasted opportunities to give you extra, much-needed living space and since the square footage is just sitting there, why not put it to proper use and give you and your family some additional space to enjoy?


We can turn your basement into anything you desire, from a media room to an office or even a bedroom.

    What to Look for in an Unfinished Basement

    When you’re considering finishing your basement, it’s important to take a look at the space and decide what needs to be done in order to make it livable. Here are some things to look for:

    Waterproofing

    If your basement is prone to flooding or leaks, waterproofing is a must. This will help keep your basement dry and prevent any future damage.

    Structural Issues

    If there are any cracks in the foundation or walls, these need to be fixed before you start finishing the space. Otherwise, you could end up with bigger problems down the road.

    Insulation

    Proper insulation is key to keeping your basement warm in the winter and cool in the summer. If your basement is not properly insulated, you’ll be wasting energy (and money) trying to keep it comfortable.

    Lighting

    Natural light is a basement’s best friend. If your basement doesn’t have any windows, consider adding some egress windows to let in some much-needed sunlight.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    • What does it mean to have a finished basement?

      A basement is finished when it has an electrical system, heat, a level ceiling and walls that are similar to the upstairs areas. Rooms in a finished basement can have unsurfaced floors.


      A basement finishing contractor can help you create a finished basement. This means your unfinished space will be transformed into an area that is comfortable for family and friends to enjoy, as well as functional with new installations like heating, air conditioning units, built-in shelves and cabinets, and entertainment systems in place.

    • Should I waterproof my basement before finishing it?

      It is important that a basement be fully waterproofed before any finishing work begins because this will prevent unsightly and dangerous conditions such as wet carpets, moldy drywall and damaged belongings.


      Basement finishing contractors can waterproof your basement and suggest ways to ensure that moisture is not a factor in the future.

    • How much does it cost to finish a 1000 sq ft basement?

      The cost of the finishing work will depend on a number or factors including the size of your basement, what you want to do with it (i.e., entertainment space, playroom for kids), and whether there are any structural changes that need to be made. 


      Homeowners can expect costs from $25-50 per sq ft covered by flooring materials (such as carpet) plus additional charges for technical installations such as heating/cooling systems, electrical installation, and insulation; these expenses average around $75-$125 per sq ft.

    • What is the most expensive part of finishing a basement?

      Framing an unfinished basement can be very expensive due to both the labor and lumber costs, with lumber being the main expense. One way to offset those costs is by using metal studs, which generally cost less than wood studs.

    • Do I need a permit to finish my basement?

      In most cases, you will need a permit to finish your basement. Basement finishing contractors can help you determine if a permit is required for your project.

    • What are the benefits of finishing my basement?

      In addition to adding extra living space, finishing your basement can also increase the value of your home and make it more energy-efficient. Basement finishing can also help to protect your home from water damage by sealing off any openings that could allow water to enter.

    • What should I consider before finishing my basement?

      Before you begin your basement finishing project, you will need to determine the purpose of the new space. This will help you decide what type of finishes to use and how to layout the space. You will also need to consider the budget for your project and the amount of time you have to finalize it. basement finishing contractors can help you with all of these considerations and more.

    • Who do I contact if I have questions about finishing my basement?

      If you have any questions about finishing your basement, contact Grand Rapids Basement Pros! We offer a free consultation to help you determine the best way to finish your basement and make it the perfect space for your needs. Call us at (616) 366-9966 so we can help you get started on your basement finishing project today!

    • Is finishing your basement worth it?

      You can expect to recoup your investment on a basement finishing project. The average return on investment for a finished basement project is about 75 cents on the dollar. Plus you will gain additional living space in your home. 


      Your family members may also appreciate having their own playroom, movie room, game room, etc., where they won't have to worry that they're making too much noise or mess in the main living areas of the house. The option to add more storage space is another benefit for many homeowners as well.

    • What is the cheapest way to finish a basement?

      Usually DIY is the cheapest solution, but you need to consider extra costs and unnecessary hassle. For simple tasks like painting, most can do it themselves; on the other hand, electrical or plumbing work should be left to professionals.


      You can also partially finish your basement on the cheap by getting creative. You can use curtains or cloth to cover the walls, and add area rugs over concrete basement floor, and the basement ceiling can remain bare for an industrial look.

    • How long does finishing a basement take?

       The length of time it takes to finish a basement depends on the size and scope of the project. Most basement finishing projects take between two and four weeks to complete.

    • What are the costs involved in finishing your basement?

      It's impossible to give an accurate cost without knowing what type of work is going to be done, but you can expect it will be more expensive than if you were doing something like painting your living room because there is so much more material and labor. 


      Generally speaking, rough framing for a small space might run $25 per square foot up front with another ten dollars or so on top that every day until the job is complete as well as concrete floors at about $15 per square yard. Drywall installation would start at around $30-$40 per square meter depending on its thickness while flooring typically runs between $0.50-0.70 cents per square inch ($250 - $340 per square yard).

    • What's included in my project?

      All work includes all materials needed for completion of finishing a basement with an additional cost for labor depending on complexity of job. We provide consultations as well as estimates if requested prior to purchase.
