Can a Finished Basement Add Value to My Home?

• When you contact an appraiser to value your home,
  youll 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.
