SOME TIPS FOR A BASEMENT RENOVATION
 The basement is the coldest and most humid part of the house an easy remedy for this is to get a fireplace or
heating installed. It is best to heat your basement 3 seasons a year in order to dry out the air in your space
and as heat rises it will not be wasted as it will heat the lower floors of the house lowering the overall
hearing bills.
 When
renovating your basement and installing a gypsum ceiling it may be an idea to consider
soundproofing or insulation if the basement is to be self-contained and rented out space.
 Adding a bathroom in the basement is expensive but essential if you intend renting out the extra living area.
If not it always adds convenience and significant value so recouping the costs and getting a return on the
investment is highly likely.
