[quote=Anonymous]As with any home improvement you can control the cost by determining ahead of time where you want to invest money and where you are willing to cut back. Do a lot of research. Go to kitchen stores, look over cabinets,  counter tops - at all levels- high, middle, cheap. Decide what you can live with and what you can't. We are in the process of a basement renovation. It doubles the size of our house. Its above ground so very usable enjoyable space. My DH only wants high end applicances and materials, I work on finding cheaper alternatives to keep within budget. We did the demo of the old basement ourselves to save money. How long did it take my DH to decide it was time to renovate the basement? 10 years. Each year we pick a project to work on, he was more interested in the outdoor landscaping, while I was more interested interior updates. In the 10 years we've talked about the basement renovations our needs have changed. We wanted nice bathroom tile and vanity/sink and toilet. We reduced costs in other areas to make up for the cost for the bathroom. [/quote]
