Hello for Toronto Canada,
I always wanted to finish my basement so I could put in a home theater system. I know I can afford to have a state-of-the-art setup but I want to get a decent projector and a good sound setup.
My basement is unfinished. The space i want to finish is about 700 square feet. Ceiling hieght is not bad but the ducts will be an issue in a few places. I want a decent level of finishing with pot lights and a few nice doors. Maybe some wood trim. No kitchen or bathrooms.
I only got one quote so far and it was for 28K! Sounds way to high to me as I know others who had theirs done with a nice bathroom for a lot less. At least they gave me a nice floor plan for free.
A few questions...
1. Anyone out there finish their own basements who only has basic tool skills like me? how did it go?
2. Know anyone in the area of Toronto ( I am in Whitby) who has done good work for you or friends?
3. What is a decent cost per square foot to have someone finish a basement. My last quote worked to $40/foot
