Finished basements can be a great addition to your home. But, problems there can significantly decrease the value of your home, while cost-effective finishing work can add livable square footage, vastly increasing its value. The costs of this major improvement to your home can be substantial. The national average is $2,436 – $3,646 just on flooring!
Egress windows greatly increase the available light in what often is the darkest area of your home, and makes that room of your basement legal as a bedroom. Care must be used when choosing materials. A sturdy one piece window well in either galvanized steel or composite has no seams to come apart over time and leak.
The first thing to sustain damage in a flooded basement is that expensive flooring. Ask your contractor about the installation techniques of your egress well, the window, and what cover will be provided.
