How much does it cost to remodel a basement?

NK's planning ranges for basements of about 700 to 1,800 square feet are $110–$120 per sq ft for everyday basement living, $150–$170 per sq ft for a designer remodel and $220–$250 per sq ft for a private retreat. A new walk-out or basement egress, a kitchenette, or major foundation, underpinning, structural or drainage work can bring a project to $250K+, depending on the size and current condition of the basement. These are planning ranges, not fixed quotes. NK provides a free estimate for the agreed project scope.
