If you go for a Basement finishing system, the cost would be in thousands but it could be
worth it. You will be working with a company; similar to the interior designers and leave
everything in their hands. They mostly use high-quality materials and they don’t need your
guidance. They ensure the insulation is used for the walls. However, you have to be careful
when you are adding extra features to the basement. There might be extra charges added to
every feature you add. Hence, do your research, yes more research, on the company, look for
the people who used their service and then go for it!
If you choose to give it as a contract, you are the designer but the budget may not be under
your control. The contractor will mostly follow your guidelines, and get the materials and then
gives you the furnished space. Hence, it is almost like giving it to a Basement finishing
system. The advantage here is, all the purchases made will be transparent and you can raise
or lower the budget and change the design as much as you wish. Keep in mind, the changes
we are talking about is, before beginning the work. You will still have to be prepared to spend
a five-figure sum for it.
Do ItYourself

We have come to my favourite part. You would probably want to hire a handyman for helping.
Doing it yourself involves a lot of work and time but it is indeed budget friendly and 50%
lesser than the above options. However, you still have to use the insulating material for the
wall and the right type of flooring and lighting. You are in charge of all the purchases, which is
good. So, you have to be patient until you have done a great amount of research before
starting the work.
