For a basement remodel, you'll have to consider walls, ceilings, flooring, lighting, and insulation. If you're adding a bathroom, then you'll deal with installing countertops, cabinets, a toilet and even a shower or bathtub. All of these options mean various price ranges, depending on the types of materials selected. It's important to figure out your budget and then choose the most important aspects to focus on for the remodel. The main challenge in basement remodeling is the number of obstructions you have to creatively work with and around, such as poles, columns and utilities.

1. Evaluate the space. Be sure to consider potential obstacles to your basement remodel like low ceilings, excessive moisture or ventilation concerns. Determine if your basement needs to be professionally waterproofed before spending tens of thousands of dollars to renovate it as neglecting to address moisture issues will simply result in expensive damage repairs.

2. Determine its use. Meet with family members to determine how a remodeled basement could best fit your needs. Do you need space for your teenage daughter and her friends? Or do you need a guest bedroom for relatives? Would you want a kitchen or a bathroom space that would require plumbing?

Be sure you check for legal requirements in your area that may go along with the purpose you choose for your basement. For example, a bedroom may be required to have an egress window in case of fire, and bathroom plumbing will need to be up to code.

3. Set a budget. List your needs and wants and be aware the cost of a basement remodel project can range from $19,000-$100,000 with an average cost around $28,000 depending on the details you choose. Installing a bathroom in your basement, for instance, could significantly add to the total cost due to the complexity of adding plumbing below grade.

4. Interview basement remodeling contractors. You may be tempted to try and save money by managing a basement remodel yourself, but it's most likely worth it to hire a professional. Check affiliations, licensing and referrals and/or reviews from neighbors and friends before interviewing contractors for the final selection to be sure to avoid choosing a bad remodeler. Contractors who specialize in basement remodeling may be better equipped to handle your project.

5. Understand the scope of the project. Although the basement may be out of sight, if you don't have a walk-out basement, anticipate workers constantly walking through your home with materials to accomplish the project. Also, the project could take four to six weeks.

Check for any water issues in your basement before beginning the planning process. Obvious signs are pools of water or drips coming through the below-grade walls. Check outside to make sure the ground is graded away from your foundation. Also look for cracks in your foundation walls and repair that damage if necessary.

Finishing the basement increases the value of a home, and since a remodeled basement is attractive to many buyers, it may help sell the home more quickly. Depending on the location of the home and local regulations, a finished basement with the proper features can usually be included in the official square footage of a home's for-sale listing.

Homeowners likely to see the best return on their investment are those who make the newly finished basement attractive and functional, rather than highly personalized.

Spending extravagant amounts of money will not expand the pool of potential buyers. Most buyers look for finished walls, ceilings and floors in a remodeled basement as well as proper wiring to accommodate televisions and computers.

Many buyers have specific plans for the basement, such as media and game rooms, and providing an impersonal, functional space will allow them to personalize the basement to their own tastes and needs.
