Finishing a basement can add value to your home, give the kids a place to play or you can create the ultimate "Man Cave". Depending on the amount of work needed and whether or not you need to run mechanicals the cost and time to finish can vary greatly. If mechanicals are in place a professional contractor should be able to complete all the necessary work in about 3 weeks from the time the permit is pulled.
A 15x30 basement will cost about four thousand.
Firstly, make sure your basement is dry and there is no moisture on the interior and exterior walls. You will then need to check to see if you need a permit to carry out the work. You need to consider installing some type of insulation to prevent damp appearing and choose a suitable heating method as the basement tends to be the coldest room in the house.
It depends on your income and current status. If you are barely hanging by a thread now, it would not be wise to finish the basement. If you are doing pretty well, it would probably be a good time to do this because people need work.
