Re: Cost Per Square Foot In Basements
What's the ceiling - sheetrocked or acoustic tile?
Number of doors/windows? Anythings need to moved? For example, relocate the W/D closer to the heat/hot water, central vac. relocate, etc? Is the basement prone to flooding? Do the walls need to be "dry-loc'ed"? Sump pump? french drain, etc? etc etc etc

Re: Cost Per Square Foot In Basements
$25-45 a foot for a decent finish. Higher end assumes maybe a kitchen down there.

Re: Cost Per Square Foot In Basements
I think they were a joint venture of the Dick Lovett Group & Cox Holdings.

Re: Cost Per Square Foot In Basements
I do about 5-8 per year. 400 up to 1500 sq. ft have been my range. If homeowner helps (painting, gets own carpet) I can do larger units around 15-20 per. Sq.Ft. For smaller units about 20-25 per sq. ft. I have done some pretty basic units with limited corners and doors for about 12.00 per sq. ft. with this price homeowner primes and paints when I am done (not during the project) so I don't have to come back later to finish trim and drop ceiling. They also handle there own flooring. These prices are with licensed electrician and permits for building. I'm in Ohio near Akron
