When you contact an appraiser to value your home, you’ll realize that a
finished basement worth more than an unfinished basement per square
foot. The valuation of your house is based on a scale. There is a desired
value placed on all above grades per square footage and below grades per
square footage .Unless a room is well heated, most appraisers will not
consider it finished or liveable in addition to considering other valuable
options.
Another way to surely increase the worth of your home is by through
finished basement done by a professional. A professionally finished
basement requires the necessary permit during the remodelling period
and that the work was carried out in a professional manner. In the event
that the homeowner is not well versed in home improvements such as
electric, plumbing, heating and much more, hire the services of a licensed
contractor to assist you is a necessity.
If you are looking to install a low ceiling, you may be denied the
necessary permit needed to finish the renovation. If the ceiling height is
affected by heating duct work, consider replacing it with a smaller one.
