We list below some of the most popular and valuable home renovations that provide ROI for 2022.
Create Space with a Finished Basement
Basements are commonly used for storage and while storage is useful, it is not as appealing as the many options a finished basement presents. A home theater, playroom, home office, or an extra basement not only adds useable space, but another chance to put some design and beauty into your home. The top things to consider when planning a basement remodel are moisture, flooring, proper lighting, radon, and being built to code with regard to egress.
