I don't remember living in a house with a basement. When I was growing up, my friends and I would categorize basements as creepy and dark so; anything negative can happen in it. Well, gone are those days of basement horror and neglect! We are in the generation of innovation where home design does not end in the bedroom, bathroom or living room.
I have seen home designers on TV who were working on a project that provides the curb appeal of the home as well as building an enchanting backyard to the lucky recipient. The work was hard but I think, renovating the basement is the hardest.
If you have an ancestral house and you wanted to splurge your basement; more issues are likely to arise such as spending more on electrical, plumbing, heating as well as the foundation of the house. If you plan a basement DIY project, I suggest that you should think twice.
You should hire a professional who are expert, knowledgeable and bonded. Make sure that they are building code compliant and they listen to the client's need.
