Ideally you should include as much natural lighting as possible. If possible put in windows in knee walls to increase natural lighting. If there is a walkout side to the basement, consider including French doors or slider doors to let in more natural light.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In addition to natural lighting, it is important to provide sufficient electrical lighting. I highly recommend using a generous amount of can lights to maximize the lighting in the finished basement area.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 374px;\">\n<td style=\"text-align: left; height: 374px;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Basement Additions and Flooring<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Basement additions typically have high humidity levels. Consequently the use of wood flooring products should only be used after the moisture concerns have been fully resolved. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">If you plan to install a wood floor in your finished basement, make sure to install it on a wood subfloor. This will prevent the wood flooring product from coming directly in contact with the basement floor.<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 374px;\" width=\"3%\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 374px;\" width=\"47%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2148 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Basement_Addition-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Basement Addition and Basement Finishing\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Basement_Addition-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Basement_Addition.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Besides wood flooring you can also consider using ceramic tile, marble, vinyl and carpet flooring products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Again with vinyl and carpet it is important that all basement moisture issues have been permanently resolved.

The two main ceiling choices are drywall and ceiling tiles. Both have their individual benefits. Drywall ceilings have a smoother finish, however ceiling tiles have come a long way in terms of looks and they offer much more utility when it comes to accessing overhead plumbing pipes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The third choice for a basement addition ceiling is the industrial look. The industrial look is simply the application of paint over the existing basement ceiling, including all of the existing wires, pipes, and ductwork.<\/span><\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"2\" cellpadding=\"2\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Hiring a Basement Addition Contractor<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Once you have developed your basement addition plans, you can then begin the process of hiring a contractor to build it.

Usually a good rule of thumb for evaluating a home addition contractor is to see how long their reference list is. The longer the list provided to you, the higher the probability that the contractor has a solid reputation. A long reference list also helps to get a sense for how long the contractor has been in business and his level of pride in his work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Regardless of the length of the reference list, it is important to contact at least 3 or 4 of the references. Typically I like to contact a couple of recent basement addition projects completed by the contractor, and a couple 2-5 years out in the past. This way I can get a sense of his current work ethic and quality, as well as a feel for how his work holds the test of time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">So if you are looking to add new living space to your home, a basement addition or basement remodeling project is a great solution. Just plan accordingly and pull your construction permits first. By addressing the issues mentioned above prior to starting construction, you will save yourself a lot of hassles and get the basement addition you are looking for.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\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>.
