One of the best ways to get more out of your existing house is to
finish your basement. Without expanding
the house footprint, you can not only add a lot of livable space, but also
substantially increase the worth of your home.
Carter Construction Management recently got a job to put a family room
with a wet bar, a full bathroom, and an exercise room in an unused
basement. The space is ideal, as
basements go, in that it has plenty of headroom and no water or moisture
problem. It is in good shape and clean, and
there is no need to add or improve the egress to the outside.

That is not to say it will be a trivial job. Among other infrastructure changes, we must
install a separate heat/AC zone off the existing furnace, add an electric
subpanel, and mount a new air-exchange system.
