If your unfinished basement serves as the family dumping ground for old toys, sporting equipment, and Christmas decorations, it’s time to call a general contractor for a remodel. Finishing your basement turns an otherwise unusable space into an attractive and functional area for all to enjoy. Here, the general contractor of BM Maintenance & Remodeling in Fairbanks, AK, shares three reasons to finish your basement.

3 Benefits of a Finished Basement

1. Additional Living Space

A finished basement is a wonderful way to add an extra bedroom for temporary guests, or a teen in need of some personal space. By adding proper egress, you could even turn the basement into a full guest suite, complete with a bedroom, bathroom, and mini kitchen.

2. Custom Recreational Area

When finished, a basement is a perfect spot for a home theater. Install some acoustic wall treatments, custom flooring, lighting, and wiring for the electrical components. What about a game room, a man cave, or a playroom for the kids? You could even build your own gym right in your home! The possibilities for a finished basement are unlimited.

3. More Entertainment Space

If your main living area seems a bit cramped during parties or family gatherings, try moving the get-together downstairs. With a finished basement, you can create a customized entertainment space with a wet bar, mini kitchen, serving counters, and comfortable seating to host more guests than you could imagine.

Imagine the possibilities!  Finishing your basement is an excellent way to increase your home’s functional space.
