What exactly is the basement finishing cost?
There are different ways of looking at and calculating the basement finishing cost and this is where some homeowners get into trouble. If you are planning to do a simple, do-it-yourself project, such as painting the area, you can get a fairly accurate estimate by simply adding up the price of your materials and supplies. It’s simple enough. The problem with determining a basement finishing cost often comes into play when other types of more complicated work is required. For example, you may hire a plumber to rough in the plumbing for your new bathroom, but is that the final cost? Chances are it is not. The same can be true with carpenters who are roughing in an area. Once they are done with their work, you may be left standing there wondering who does the rest of the work and who pays for it. The answer is usually you!
