This has literally been my pandemic project.

We had to address foundation and water issues before we started working in specific spots so make sure that gets done first and I suggest hiring someone with a warranty. We used drainage experts and they were great!. We had to bring them back once for a small leak but no water in 2 years is worth the investment.

I’ve been slowly finishing my basement since I began working remote in ‘20. If you have any prior water issues then DO NOT rush the renovation. Tackling it slowly was worth it for us.

Originally I got quotes for a contractor to finish the basement and the cheapest one I got was $20k for about 700 sq.ft of space (including parts+labor). No thanks!

I’m doing it myself and in total it’s cost me about $2k for an office area/room and around $3k for a large playroom. Lots of closets too for the wife. I’m halfway done and it’s going to be less than $6k when it’s finished by the spring/summer.

The only job we are outsourcing is for heating.
