American Home Improvements can help you with a basement plan for many types of homes. If you currently don’t have one, and want to know if a basement can be added to your existing home, please give us a call. A basement can add quite a bit of square footage to an existing structure and still maintain the overall architecture of your home. Here are some uses for a basement.

Additional Living Space:  Who couldn’t use a big bonus room for entertaining or just relaxing with family. A converted basement can offer not only more square footage for your home, but a relaxing retreat for family and friends.

Storage Solution: An unfinished-basement can be a dark and damp environment that does not offer a friendly or convenient location for valuables. As a storage room, shelves and cabinets can be installed suitable for various size items. Waterproofing and other safeguards will make the space more user friendly and offer peace of mind. This will also offer a cost savings and convenient alternative to using a storage facility.

“Mother-In-Law” Quarters:  A basement can create a total separate living quarters with second kitchen, fireplace, full bath, etc. These additions are great for older teens that want to have more privacy, a relative that shares your home, or even an additional income source for rentals.
