[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is from 2010 ...

We did the waterproofing (interior drains, wall liner, sump, and battery backup system) for about $9.5K.  We got a 10% discount by being flexible on the timing and letting them schedule the job on a "will call" basis.  They did a fantastic job - very professional, diligent, hardworking and clean crew, and we haven't had a single problem since thru many major storms.  That was money very well spent!

We finished the basement in 2010 also - spent approx $30K - very basic job.  We left 1/2 the basement unfinished, and finished a playroom/rec room and a laundry room.  Nothing fancy ... drywall, 3 doors, some electrical work, and berber carpet (which we paid for separately so that is not included in the $30K) in the playroom and tile flooring, some very basic cabinetry, some plumbing & electrical in the laundry room.[/quote]

wow, that is SO expensive! A home inspector just told me that finishing a basement is around 10K.[/quote]

We had several quotes and none of them were anywhere near 10K .... would have been nice, though!  If you can find someone who will do it for 10K, by all means go for it![/quote]
