Additions
Bathroom Upgrade or Addition
Most homeowners renovate their basements to add an extra bathroom. It’s the most common addition. Space in the basement is rather abundant in most homes, so you can create a large spa-like getaway that may not be suitable in other areas of the home. This upgrade can be as simple as installing a larger tub or as complex as building a full sauna and hot tub. If you’re looking to sell or rent out your house, whatever upgrades you decide to go with, it’s a given that it’ll increase the overall value and desirability of your home.
