All you have to do is simply close the door to the basement. And if there is outside access to the basement, even better. Contractors can access the basement from the exterior door.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Deciding to convert a basement over to finished living space enables several new rooms to be created within the home.<\/span><br \/>\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- 468x60_below_Author_Name --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 468px; height: 60px;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3988490936633155\" data-ad-slot=\"5936342260\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">New rooms that can be created when doing a basement conversion include bedrooms, recreation rooms, exercise rooms, office space, bars, and even bathrooms and kitchens.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Considerations for Converting a Basement to Finished Living Space<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">To determine if your unfinished basement is appropriate for converting over to finished living space,\u00a0 there are three main items that you need to carefully consider.<\/span><\/td>\n<td width=\"1%\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"49%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9366 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Basement_Addition-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Converting a basement into finished living space\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Basement_Addition-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Basement_Addition.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">You need to check with your your local building inspector to confirm that there is sufficient headroom in the basement to create finished living spaces. Typically you will need at least 7 feet of headroom.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Next, it is important that the basement has easy access, and has a couple of methods of egress, e.g. via a staircase, windows and\/or walkout doorways.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Before kicking off converting your basement into finished living space it is important to make sure that the basement is free from moisture problems. You may want to hire a professional to inspect and help deal with any basement water or moisture problems prior to beginning construction. See this article on <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/basements\/waterproofing-basement-walls-and-floors\/\">ways to waterproof your basement<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span>.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">If you&#8217;re unfinished basement meets all three criteria then converting your basement to finished living space may be your best and most affordable solution for creating additional comfortable living space within your home.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Specific Tasks Associated with How to Convert a Basement into Finished Living Space<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Once you&#8217;ve decided to kick off your basement conversion project, you&#8217;ll need to frame out the walls, which will include attaching furring strips to the concrete basement wall, and then framing out interior walls. Framing in the basement can be challenging because of plumbing pipes and electrical wires running through the overhead floor joists. Thus, you may want to hire a frame with experience doing this type of framing work. Also see my article on <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/basements\/framing-basement-walls\/\">framing basement walls<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">After the framing is complete, you&#8217;ll need to rough in the electrical wiring, and any plumbing. Typically you&#8217;ll need to install many individual light fixtures, such as can lights or fluorescent lights in the basement ceiling. See article on <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/basements\/how-to-finish-your-basement-and-basement-remodeling\/\">basement lighting options<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Also, because a basement is subjected to water threats more than upper level floors, GFCI circuit breakers will be required in the basement. Typically several new circuit breakers will need to be added for a basement conversion project.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Once the rough electric and plumbing are done, any insulation you want to add, such near the exterior basement walls, should be installed. Rigid foam insulation is best to use in these areas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Then the sheet rock can be installed, followed by painting, and finished electric and plumbing. Finally the flooring and trim work can be done, including the installation of interior doors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><b><span style=\"color: #008000;\">For more help on Basement Additions<\/span><\/b>, see HomeAdditionPlus.com&#8217;s <b><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/basement-remodeling-bid-sheet\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Basement Remodeling Bid sheet<\/span><\/a><\/b>.
