The average range is between $11,000 and $29,000. With that, the cost also depends on which part of the basement you’re renovating, including the types of materials you’re using.

This article will provide an in-depth guide into average basement remodels. Let’s explore.

The Plumbing

To add plumbing, a plumber must connect the basement to water lines and sewer lines.

If you intend to add a full bathroom, the average cost (including parts and materials) is between $10,000 and $15,000. The cost will be less if you intend to add a half bath.

When it comes to bathroom renovations, the largest costs break down as follows:

  • Labor: $1,200 to $5,500
  • Bathtub Installation: $1,000 to $5,000
  • Tub Installation: $200 to $2,000
  • Fan Installation: $250 to $500

Other expenses (i.e. faucets, doors, and shower parts) usually hover around $200 each.

The Wiring

The wiring cost depends on the square footage of the basement.

  • Example: If your basement is 1,000 square feet, the cost could run you between $800 and $1,500.

Other factors, such as light and wall fixtures, will factor into the overall price. The cost will be lower if the basement has a wider space. If the basement has separate rooms, however, the cost will be higher.

The Frame

Framing a basement means contractors will add wood framing to create rooms. Framing also paves the way for additional work, such as insulation, plumbing, and wiring.

With framing and drywall installation, a 1,000 square foot basement can cost around $3,000. With that, the national average for drywall and framing is $1,100. For a basement that’s 1,800 feet, you could pay $5,500.

Overall, the cost to frame the basement is $1 for each square foot. Painting and installation are separate factors, costing $2.70 to $3.39 per square foot.

Insulation could be more expensive, with a price range of $700 to $4,000. The insulation cost range applies to spray-based insulation foam.

Moreover, experts recommend foam installation due to its non-permeable nature, preventing condensation accumulation.

Framing can be a heavy undertaking, and costs can spin out of control easily. To keep costs affordable, use a basement remodel cost calculator. Visit Carosyl Home Additions Inc. to learn more about basement remodels.

Basement Remodel Cost: What is the Best Way to Stay Within Budget?

To learn more about the basement remodel cost, talk to a reputable contractor. A contractor should be certified, and you should read online reviews about the contractor.

Overall, a basement renovation can cost up to $45,000.

Plumbing is one of the biggest expenses, which can cost you around $10,000. If you want a full remodel, consider a basement frame that supports plumbing and wiring infrastructure.
