Additional Details on Basement Finishing Cost Estimates
Basement finishing cost estimates assume open layout. The more walls and upgraded trim details, the higher the price per sqft goes up. Please note that even though the size of a basement may be smaller than 1000 sqft and the cost may be less, the price per square foot may increase.
¾ Bath is based on a 5′ x 8′, which includes a vanity, toilet, and shower. Whether the drains are pre-roughed & the level of cabinetry, countertops, fixtures and tile will indicate the final price.
Wet Bars are very hard to estimate until a final design is established. An Entry-Level Beverage Center consists of 7’-8’ of cabinetry and countertops. A Mid-Level Wet Bar includes the same as the basic-level except it adds an island or peninsula section for bar stools. A Luxury-Level wet bar is a more customized space for parties including multiple appliances and high-end finishes.
INCLUDED IN BASEMENT FINISHING COST ESTIMATE: Space planning and layout design with our designer, a dedicated project manager, and all labor & materials. access to our customer portal where you can monitor progress and design selections via your phone and computer.
NOT INCLUDED IN BASEMENT FINISHING COST ESTIMATE: Demo, adding egress windows, upstairs smoke detectors (code requirement), or permit fees. Caution: Flooring upgrades such as hardwood, tile, & luxury vinyl tile (LVT) can accelerate the cost significantly. Please note that, Pricing estimates do not include new appliances, permit fees or additional smoke detector systems that might be required for inspection approval.
