3 Benefits of Finishing Your Basement

An unfinished basement might be a great place to keep your forgotten boxes and storage items, but when you need to expand your living space, a basement can be a valuable piece of real estate to make the most of the square footage of your home. Here are three reasons you should consider Augusta, GA basement finishing, and the local Northern Atlanta area.

1: Flexibility to Create Your Space

Unfinished basements are often left as completely open space (except for a few support walls), so with all that square footage you are free to create the exact space that you want. Whether it’s more bedrooms for a growing family, a recreation room where you can exercise, or an entertainment area to gather and watch movies or play games, the basement is like a blank canvas to create your dream space.

2: More Complete Square Footage, Less Costs

If you are thinking about adding a bedroom or an exercise room, it would cost a lot to do that by adding on to your main floor. Basements offer a place where you already have the space and that won’t cost as much per square foot to finish. Basement finishing in Augusta, GA, and the surrounding area, offers you the best price per square foot of any project. You can even add a second living space, such as a mother-in-law apartment, or a place that you can rent out (provided your neighborhood is zoned for that type of space) and recoup some of the costs of the addition.

3: Entertainment

The basement is the premier place to add entertainment space for your family to enjoy. With the wide open spaces and the unlimited possibilities, many families find that this is the best area to add things like entertainment rooms or movie theaters. You can also incorporate game rooms that will give you the space you want to gather together with friends and loved ones. Since basements are generally at least partially underground, they are also naturally dark enough to provide great movie-viewing experiences.
