This Could Be Your Basement!

Finishing your basement is not only a great winter project, but it will add livable space and value to your home. Depending on where you live, paying someone to finish it for you can cost anywhere between $30 and $60 per square foot. You can do it yourself for a fraction of that. We'll walk you through how to finish your basement from installing an egress window to putting in a gas fireplace.

What Would You do With an Extra $50k?

	Add an Egress Window to Make Your Basement Livable
	Keep Your Heat. Insulate Your Rim Joists.
	Avoid Soggy Carpeting
	Make Your New Basement Cozy With a Fireplace
