Basements
Space You Already Have?
At APSE Builders, we believe your basement should be an extension of your home! In fact, it is an additional floor of your home, which should be used for living space. Those that have had their basements finished by our company agree that finishing your basement is a valuable investment.
The space you create can be used for many things. Some of the most popular would be: a space for your children to play, entertaining business associates, family and friends, or just a place for you to unwind from your long day. We believe that a well-designed basement should accommodate all of the above!
What Illinois Homeowners Need To Know About Basement Remodeling
The easiest way to add a new room or rooms to your home is to better utilize the space you already have. Basement remodeling can be more economical than building an addition, because, with the walls, floor, ceiling, and utilities in place, your space is already about 30% finished. Basements are the lowest cost living space you can add to a home.
Also, since you’re building within the existing envelope of the house, you don’t have to worry about zoning issues such as setback from property lines, height restrictions, or solar shading of your neighbor.
Design
Think carefully about your family’s needs - now and in the future. When you design keep those changing needs in mind. A playroom now will need to become something else in a few years. Plan for it and you won’t have to do a complete overhaul again. You want to work with a company that has a qualified design person. They can transform a basement into a lower level.
