Basement Finish Estimates

[dskurz]

We are house hunting (stupid timing I know) and some houses don't have finished basements. Is their a rough estimate how much it is per square foot to finish a basement. It would be around 2000 sq ft. Mainly would add a bedroom and bathroom with a wet bar.

2000 should put in 2 large bedrooms a full bath and big den with bar 3 TVs and leave a ton of space unfinished for staorage, peloton, tradmill etc... $35k

$17.50/sf? More like $60/sf.

Depends on the price of materials.

If they double over night, your budget could take a real hit.

$60/ft^2 isnt too far fetched in many parts of the country.

I’ve heard recently that you’re looking at about 30k for 1,000 sq ft. Wet bar gonna add more though as that was just for full bath, bedroom and some flex space.

this is a tough question to answer without more details about how you want to finish.

however it’s not that hard to do a materials take off. Just measure and figure out cost and add about 10% for waste. Labor should be less than materials so if you assume they are the same, you have a good budget
