Hi folks I am thinking about turning my unfinished basement into usable living space but I have no idea where to begin with estimating the cost Before I even start talking to contractors I want to understand a ballpark figure for what this kind of project might run Especially since I would like to include things like flooring lighting and even possibly a small bathroom I have seen a wide range of numbers online and it is confusing trying to figure out what is reasonable versus what is over the top Has anyone here completed a basement renovation or found a good breakdown of typical costs because I would really appreciate any insights before I get buried in quotes that seem all over the place
