Your wife has been hinting you need to look for more space. Your kids are growing, and you really do not have a yard. You want them safe, and it would be really nice to have space for your fly tying equipment. Your wife wants a craft area, and – thanks to “dear” Uncle Rod – your teenager got drums for their birthday. If you only had a larger house to put some of those things, or a nice big garage to isolate the drummer in…
You do. It is right under your feet
Contacting the best basement finishers Colorado Springs has can save you money
We are fortunate in Colorado that so many homes are built with basement space. Our great geography allows us that privilege, but sadly, few basements get used for much more than junk storage, the holiday ornaments, or the laundry room. Your basement is most likely the size of your main floor of your house – which is a lot of area. Why consider an expensive addition or even buying a larger house with a bigger mortgage when you can utilize the existing space you have already been paying for in the basement?
What They Say About Us...
Basement Remodeling in Colorado Springs Creates Usable Space
When you have a basement being used for storage, laundry, or even an old fashioned pantry, it is time to wisely use your investment. Hiring a licensed contractor who specializes in basement remodeling, finishing, and construction is a wise move, costing far less than it would to sell your current home and buying a bigger one with almost definitely a larger mortgage payment. Financing an expensive addition to your current home, if you even have space on your lot, can be very costly and may not be highly recoverable when you go to sell. You are already paying for the space, and it most likely is already under heating and cooling. Use what you already have, smarter.
How many times have you wished you could have the guys over for some snacks and the big game, and stay out of the way of the wife? Had a space for a home wine cellar? Does your teen have a study group that you would like to know where they are for the studying instead of just “out”? What about needing a home office for your small business, start-up, or a place for your spouse’s budding craft hobby? A well-planned and finished basement can be all those things, as well as a studio apartment, a guest bedroom, an in-home theatre, art studio, music room, den with a fireplace, recording studio, exercise room, and so many more dreams. What is your dream space? Finishing your basement can make it happen.
Colorado Springs Basement finishing is not a DIY job
Some people think they are going to tackle the basement in their home and do the remodel or build-out themselves. They plan and talk and buy materials and tools and start…. And more often than not, it does not get very far. Either the other half is not happy with the dust and noise, or the DIY-er quickly realizes just how hard it is to hang drywall over their head, frame in walls, or build enclosures around things that just seem to jut out or be in the way in a basement.
Building out a basement is more complicated than most people think. It is not just a big grey box to fill with…stuff.
Building out a basement requires planning, knowing what you want to end up with, and how to get there so it is aesthetically pleasing, utilitarian, and frankly, fun. A well designed basement remodel adds space, rooms, to your home, and not space you rarely if ever see, kind of like all that stuff you have stored down there right now. What is in that big box behind the Christmas tree, anyhow?
Basements also require code compliance. A lot of the electrical, plumbing, duct work, sewage pipes, gas lines, and other things that supply and take care of the rest of the house originate in or pass through the basement. A lot of those things have to be accessible on occasion, too. That means when you plan a wall or a ceiling, you have to plan how to build it safely around what is there, reroute if necessary, tie into if necessary, or make access panels to get to it when you have to. Those are not usually jobs for any DIY enthusiast. You only have to have one plumbing leak behind a wall to swear you will never build something that way, ever again.
