A new or additional family room, an in-law suite, another bathroom, a kitchenette, additional bedrooms, a game room, a children's play room, a home office, a musician's practice room, or a craft room. In most cases if you can think it, we can build it.&nbsp;</font><br /><br /><br /><font color="#2a2a2a" size="3">Depending upon your taste and needs, the cost of remodeling a basement can be as little as 1/4 to 1/3 the cost of an addition to a home. This translates into a savings of as much as $100 per square foot.&nbsp;<br /><br /></font><br /><font color="#2a2a2a" size="3">Also, finishing a basement can be a good investment. &nbsp;You can expect to see a payback on your money too. &nbsp;Remodeling magazine conducted a cost versus value survey on the average return on investments for basement projects in the United States and found that it is currently around 75 cents for every dollar you spend. &nbsp;<br /><br /></font><br /><font color="#2a2a2a" size="3">As far as home renovations are concerned you will not find more significant savings anywhere else than finishing your basement. &nbsp;Let us know how we can help you finish yours!<br /></font><br /></div>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
