Crawl Space Conversion: Maximizing Underused Areas
Heide Contracting excels in turning neglected crawl spaces into vibrant areas, offering additional square footage for various uses. This not only increases living space but also adds significant value to your home, making it more attractive to potential buyers. Converting your crawl space can result in energy-efficient, organized, and flexible spaces, suitable for music studios, exercise rooms, or in-law suites.
Basement Dig Out: Creating New Dimensions of Living
Basement dig outs can transform a crawl space into a full basement or expand an existing basement. This process adds living space more affordably and less invasively than other home additions, improving the property's structure and waterproofing, and raising the basement ceiling height. The cost for such a project varies depending on factors like size, excavation method, and finishing, ranging from $10,000 to $45,000.
Cellar Conversion: Bringing Life to Forgotten Spaces
Modern cellar conversions defy the old stereotype of damp, dark spaces. With innovative architecture, these areas can become the home's hub, offering direct light, stylish designs, and versatile uses such as games rooms or additional bedrooms. These conversions can also be a source of income through the rental market, especially in high-demand areas.
