A great way of adding property value to your home is by adding square footage to its living space. Having a nice bathroom, for example, can give an ROI of 50% – 75%. HomeAdvisor, a popular remodelling magazine, stated that a fully functional and well finished basement can give a 20 – 30% return on your investment.

The biggest influences on your ROI are the quality of finishes, the funcationality and design of your basement as well as the local market. 2 of the 3 primary factors are something you have complete control over and we experienced renovation contractors to be able to help you with that.

Factors determining how much return you will get include:

  • Minimizing basement construction costs
  • Materials used to increase the price of your property

We will happily consult you in your basement renovation ventures to find the optimal strategy to fulfill these criteria. Simply give us a call and we will set up a time to discuss your project.
