Answer 1

You should have an inspector look the basement over very thoroughly, since basement's traditionally can be damp, have mold, radon, asbestos insulation or flooring. A lot of basement re-dos are bandaids to hide problems like a leaky or cracked wall or asbestos covered pipes.

So make sure the blank slate you start with is in good shape. If covering walls and floors its a good idea to prime or seal them first. I also am a big advocate for not using wood or carpet for flooring. One heavy rain, or broken pipe will ruin $1000s of investment. I'd recommend large 18" ceramic or stone tiles, or a composite or vinyl floor. Even painted or stained concrete can give you that edgy "loft" look. Then use washable area rugs. I live in MN, and some counties also have codes about egress window and exits, so check all you local codes as well.

It depends on a whole lot of things.  What are you doing exactly.  For full renovations you should use about $100 per sqft to set your budget.  It could be more or less depending on the materials you use and who you use.

Approx. $30.00 a square foot
