For many people, the basement is their sacred space. It’s the perfect, multi-purpose location to host parties or gatherings, watch the big game, or just kick back your feet and relax. For other people, it’s a constant reminder of unused potential. A recent study claims that only 9 percent of all new homes in the U.S. now have a finished basement.
Is your unfinished basement sitting in your house unused and wasting space? When you pay for a home, you’re allotted a certain amount of square footage and you pay for every last inch. Why then would you let those extra square feet go to waste? Hiring the right contractors to work on a basement remodeling or addition can turn your currently vacant space into the most frequented and beloved rooms of your home. Below we’ve compiled a few reasons why you should decide to make the upgrade today!
Energy Cost:
In Chalfont and the surrounding areas, we experience all the seasons and the weather patterns that arrive with them. Old or unfinished basements are notorious for bad air circulation, dampness, and darkness. They often require excessive use of fans or air conditioning in the summer, and repeated use of the furnace in the cold winter months. All of this constant temperature shifting and thermostat can waste tremendous amounts of energy. A new, finished basement will make sure insulations are tightly-sealed and your heating and cooling systems work efficiently. This reduces your home energy consumption, thus reducing your utility bills.
Endless Opportunities:
When it comes to home upgrades and additions, your basement is ripe with possibilities! They typically are home to some of the largest rooms in your house, and they also offer a fresh, blank canvas to express your creativity and style to match the rest of your home. Do your kids need a playroom? The basement is a great place to store an abundance of toys and offers the space to facilitate that. Now more than ever, the pandemic has shifted many of us to work from home. Turn your basement into an incredible, modern office space that puts you in the right atmosphere to succeed in your job.
Increase Home Value:
Certain upgrades and additions can add more marketplace to your home than others. One of the most effective ways to add value is your interior spaces like kitchens, bathrooms, and of course, your basement. The property value on your home can dramatically increase with an upgraded, liveable, and stylistic basement. Basement renovations signify to potential buyers that their potential home will not require more upgrades and projects, and it ensures them that your home is modern and move-in ready.
