Torn between finishing your basement? Don’t worry! The Basement Guys of Pittsburgh are here to assist. We made a pros and cons list for homeowners like you. Here’s what you should consider:
Advantages:
-
Your home, your design. We do not make the decision when it comes to how you want to utilize the space. We also don’t force customers to pick a certain design over another. We want to build YOUR dream space.
-
Increases a home’s value. If you plan on selling the house in the future, a finished basement can help raise the value. If you don’t want to sell, it makes the best use of space!
-
Adds personal value. Some of our customers come to us with specific plans in mind. Seeing what you create come to life is an amazing feeling and adds a nice personal touch to the home.
-
Expand the space of your home. The space is there, why not use it? Sure it can be for storage, but you can do much more!
-
Company will want to visit. Friends and family will want to see your beautiful space, so take the opportunity to host parties or events.
Disadvantages:
-
Expensive. We get it. Never commit to an expensive project unless you are ready. But once it is finished, the increase in value can cover 70-80% of what you spend.
-
Mold, moisture, or mildew problems. We recommend getting the basement waterproofed before finishing. However, our finishing products are specifically made for basements and protect your belongings. We also offer dehumidifiers as well.
-
Harder to access any plumbing or wires. The Basement Guys of Pittsburgh can add access panels over anything that the homeowner wants within reach.
