Remodeling Bedrooms
Circumstances may require you to obtain a bedroom remodel or add a bedroom to your home. Ailing relatives, new babies, college students moving home, and many other reasons may necessitate an extra bedroom. Adding a unit to your home is likely to be more expensive than repurposing your basement space. There are many benefits to turning your basement space into an extra bedroom.
Benefits of Bedrooms
Making your basement into an extra bedroom will provide more living space for your family. You can either make it into an extra bedroom, a guest bedroom, or a rentable bedroom. This method utilizes space that you already own. Finishing a basement will cost less than building an addition and won’t take away any of your yard space. It will also increase the overall property value of your home and may allow you to rent out your basement, especially if you have installed a bathroom and kitchen in your basement.
Why You Need a Basement Specialist
Not just any contractor is equipped to finish a basement or provide you with a bedroom remodel. Basements require special materials and skills. They are especially prone to problems caused by moisture, mold, and many other things. Additionally, most cities require larger windows to be present in any room that is used as a bedroom. A specialist will be able to get your building up to code. Even if your local area doesn’t require this, it may still be a good idea. The larger window is intended to allow an individual to escape through it in the event of a fire or other emergency. Installing a large window in your basement bedroom can help keep your family safe.
Making your basement space into a spare bedroom can provide many benefits to your home. The total number of bedrooms in your home will significantly impact its resale value. It can help you make more money monthly, as well as have more space for visiting relatives and guests.

Frequently Asked Questions
Whether finishing your basement is right for you depends on your specific needs, preferences, and circumstances. Consider factors such as your budget, the available space, your desired use for the basement (e.g., extra living space, home office, entertainment area), and your long-term plans for your home. Additionally, think about any potential challenges such as moisture issues or local building regulations. It’s often a good idea to consult with professionals like us to assess the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of the project and determine if it aligns with your goals and lifestyle.
The duration of the basement finishing process can vary significantly based on several factors, including the size and complexity of the project, the level of customization, any necessary structural or electrical work, and local permitting and inspections. On average, a basement finishing project can take anywhere from several weeks to a few months.
Here’s a rough breakdown of the timeline:
Design and Planning: This phase can take several weeks to a couple of months, depending on how quickly you can finalize your design and obtain necessary permits.
Construction: The construction phase is the most variable. Simple basement finishing projects might take a few weeks, while more complex ones with custom features or extensive renovations can take several months.
Finishing Touches: Once the major construction is complete, finishing touches like painting, installing fixtures, and furnishing the space can take several weeks.
Inspections and Final Approval: Depending on local regulations, inspections may add a few weeks to the timeline.
Unforeseen Delays: Keep in mind that unexpected issues, like weather delays, material shortages, or changes to the project scope, can extend the timeline.
To get a more accurate estimate, it’s advisable to consult with a professional basement finishing contractor like us, who can assess your specific project and provide a timeline based on your requirements and local conditions.
Whether you need a permit to finish or remodel your basement depends on your local building codes and regulations. These regulations can vary significantly from one jurisdiction to another, so it’s essential to check with your local municipal or county building department to determine the specific requirements in your area.
In many cases, you will need a permit for basement finishing or finishing if the project involves:
Structural Changes: If you plan to make structural alterations, such as removing or adding walls, changing the layout, or altering the foundation, you will likely need a permit.
Electrical Work: Any electrical work, including adding outlets, lighting fixtures, or wiring for appliances, typically requires a permit.
Plumbing Work: If your basement project involves adding or altering plumbing fixtures, such as sinks, toilets, or showers, a permit is usually required.
Egress Windows: Installing or modifying egress windows for safety and code compliance often requires a permit.
HVAC Changes: Altering or adding heating, ventilation, or air conditioning systems may require a permit.
Change of Use: If you are changing the use of your basement space (e.g., from storage to a living area), this may trigger permit requirements.
Fire Safety: Certain fire safety measures, such as fire-rated walls or doors, may require permits.
It’s crucial to contact your local building department early in your planning process to understand the specific permit requirements for your project. Failure to obtain the necessary permits can result in costly fines and complications down the road, including difficulties when selling your home. Working with a professional contractor like Northern Utah Basements, who is familiar with local building codes can also help ensure compliance with regulations.
