Variables in Basement Remodeling Costs

Designing and transforming a basement can bring tremendous value to your home. However, with so many layouts and options, it can be difficult to provide a ballpark estimate. We start all our basement projects by defining a budget before we create a scope of work that fits your needs.

The cost to finish or remodel your basement can vary widely for many reasons, but our basements typically cost $50,000 to $150,000, depending on finish level and the options you choose. However, in general, our price per square foot ranges from $85 to $185 or more.

Other factors that can influence complete project cost include:

Age of the home
Total square footage of the project
Basement accessibility (such as interior stairs to the basement, or a walk-out basement door)
Home systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC)
Egress windows or doors
Foundation or slab condition

Ceiling height
Insulation
Flooring
Cabinetry
Staircase installation, replacement, or refinishing
Division into multiple living spaces
