The author talks about remodeling your home and compares the cost of adding a room or finishing a basement and indicates that if the basement is dry and does not have any water issues, is should be substantially cheaper. The author also compares the two options and advises the reader to consider the pros and cons of each before deciding on either.
Key Takeaways:
- If your basement is truly dry then a lower level remodel is the way to go for creating more finished living space.
- With a room addition, you typically can achieve more natural lighting for example.
- In addition, adding living spaces that include plumbing is also traditionally easier with building a room addition than finishing a lower level.
