And unlike adding an addition onto your home, ground\/site work and installing a new foundation are not required. Consequently a basement remodeling project can be a much more affordable project to do and provide a much higher return on investment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">However before you decide to tackle a basement remodeling project it is important that you first develop a basement remodeling plan.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Goals of Basement Remodeling Project<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Part of a good basement remodeling plan is listing the purposes of the finished basement.\u00a0For example, will the finished basement be used for a recreation area, or for bedrooms? Is a bathroom or a kitchen area desired? Is a home theater or wine cellar part of the ultimate plan? Understanding how the finished basement will be utilized will help in determining what specific engineering and mechanical needs are required in the actual design and plans for the basement remodeling project.<\/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%\">\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Making Preliminary Repairs before Basement Remodeling Construction<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The second major item that should be addressed before tackling a basement remodeling project is taking care of any problems that exist in the basement. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">For example if there are cracks in the foundation walls or floor, they need to be repaired before starting the basement remodeling project. Also, if there are leaking or sweating pipes they should be repaired before remodeling starts. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In addition, if the basement remodeling plans include plumbing that will require demolition of some of the basement floor it is critical to do this before the rest of the basement remodeling project starts.<\/span><\/td>\n<td width=\"1%\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"49%\">\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/basement-remodeling-bid-sheet\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2150 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Basement_Remodeling_Bid_Sheet_Cover_Page-1-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Basement Remodeling Bid Sheet\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Basement_Remodeling_Bid_Sheet_Cover_Page-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Basement_Remodeling_Bid_Sheet_Cover_Page-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Basement_Remodeling_Bid_Sheet_Cover_Page-1.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Also you should consider the size and location of the furnace. You need to determine if the existing furnace will be adequate to properly heat the newly remodeled basement area?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">If it is not, a larger furnace may be required. You also need to consider the location of the furnace and the noise it generates. If the furnace is going to be located near a finished basement area then you may need to wall off and properly insulate the furnace room from the finished basement area. You may also need to modify the furnace design such that fresh air is pulled in from the outside of the home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Insulation of the exterior walls should also be considered. During the framing\/construction phase, rigid Styrofoam insulation can be installed to help make the remodeled basement area warmer. Consider insulation requirements before starting the basement remodeling project.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\">\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Basement Remodeling and Lighting<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">One of the most important aspects of a basement remodeling project is the lighting. A finished basement that is naturally dark is very uninviting for family members and guests. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">To address this problem, your basement remodeling plans should consider adding natural light wherever possible. If the foundation has concrete knee walls, consider framing in windows above the knee walls. If the basement has a walk out area, consider installing glass sliders or French doors.<\/span><\/td>\n<td width=\"1%\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"49%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-2214 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/framing_basement_walls.jpg\" alt=\"Framing basement walls in a basement remodeling project.\" width=\"317\" height=\"237\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In addition to adding natural light to the basement, consider installing can lights in the ceiling, and sconces on the walls. They can really brighten up the basement area and make the space into a warm and inviting area.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Basement Remodeling Floor Layout Tips<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">When developing the floor layout of your basement remodeling project, consider putting bedrooms and recreation areas near the natural light areas, e.g. near the walkout sliders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">If a home theater or wine cellar is part of your basement remodeling goals, locate them in areas of the basement where natural lighting is not required.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">If a bathroom or kitchen area is part of your basement remodeling objectives, locate them directly below existing plumbing on the first floor of the home. This will help to minimize the amount of piping that is required in the precious head room area of a basement. It will also help to limit the amount of structural\/framing work required.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Again, if there is a furnace area that needs to be contended with in terms of noise, locate the wine cellar, or storage spaces near the furnace. These areas\/rooms can help to insulate the rest of the basement rooms from the noise of the furnace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">If there are Lally columns (support posts) that need to be contended with, try to develop a basement remodeling plan that locates walls such that the Lally columns can be buried in them. If burying them is impossible, then consider schemes for boxing them in or finishing them off so that they become less of an obstruction and eye-sore to the finished basement.<\/span><\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"2\" cellpadding=\"2\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"50%\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Basement Remodeling and Ceilings<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">When developing a Basement remodeling plan, the ceiling choice is an important decision. Many homeowners choose to install dropped ceiling tiles, while others elect to install drywall ceilings. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Both have their pros and cons. Dropped ceiling tiles allow easy access to pipes and electrical wiring, however they do impact the ceiling height more dramatically than a drywall ceiling.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"50%\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<div style=\"background: url('http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/images\/Home_Addition_form_Ad_Small_rev1.jpg') no-repeat top; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; height: 190px; width: 275px;\">\n<form action=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/UHI-info\/Additions.htm#form\" method=\"get\"><input style=\"float: left; width: 80px; margin: 110px -255px 50px 165px;\" name=\"PC\" size=\"20\" type=\"text\" \/><br \/>\n<input style=\"float: right; background: url('http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/images\/homeadditionplus-btn-next.gif'); height: 34px; width: 91px; border: 0px solid #000000; ; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 25px; margin-top: 130px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" type=\"submit\" value=\"\" \/><\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Drywall ceilings, on the other hand can give a more finished looked and provide more head room, however access to pipes and wiring is limited. If a drywall ceiling is your preference or requirement due to limited ceiling height, plan for access doors underneath first floor bathtub J-traps, valves, and key electrical junction boxes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Who will perform the Basement Remodeling Construction<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Deciding on whether to hire a basement remodeling contractor, or do it yourself is always a big question. Yes, you can save yourself a bundle if you do it yourself. However, frequently many homeowners start a basement remodeling project and never complete it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">If you truly want a finished basement, you need to be honest with yourself on the time commitment and the skills required. If you can not dedicate your next 12-16 weekends to the project, or lack skills in framing and construction, then you should probably hire either a general contractor or act as your own general contractor. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In either case, my <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/home_addition_bid_sheets\/basement-remodeling-bid-sheet\/\">Basement Remodeling Bid Sheet<\/a><\/strong><\/span> can help you. The Basement Remodeling Bid Sheet contains, amongst other things, a comprehensive questionnaire that you provide to prospective basement remodeling general contractors. The prospective general contractor(s) fills out the questionnaire and returns it to you for review. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Additional information is included in the Basement Remodeling Bid Sheet to help you assess the answers from the prospective general contractor(s) to ensure you hire the right person for the job. If you choose not to hire a general contractor, the Basement Remodeling Bid Sheet can also help by providing you with the information you need to develop your own Basement Remodeling cost plans and schedule, as well as provide you with the information necessary for hiring the right sub-contractors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">A Basement Remodeling project is a great way to provide additional living space in your home at a fraction of the cost of building an addition onto your home. With proper planning, a finished basement can become the spot in your home where the family and friends want to spend all of their recreational time. Good luck with your basement remodeling project!<\/span><\/p>\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>.
