Hello,
I don’t really know if I’m in the right place here, but I think so ;o)
We bought a "used" house, but the question probably also concerns new homeowners:
The basement room is still quite original: one large room, no tiles, two opposite basement windows, gas boiler in the basement, exposed pipes, water connection for washing machine.
We would now like to make the basement a bit more appealing, meaning: build walls, cover the floor (tiles? or is there another alternative), and the pipes etc. should be covered.
My questions:
- Should I do the floor first and then build the walls or the other way around?
- Do I have to consider ventilation if rooms are created that have no windows?
- What will the floor covering (tiles??) roughly cost me (almost 70 sqm)?
- What does the installation of the walls including doors cost? About 3-4 rooms should be created, so about 4 walls.
Is it actually possible – and sensible – to install underfloor heating in the basement afterwards? And how expensive would that be? At the moment, there is no heating downstairs at all.
------
Furthermore, some of the roller shutters already have electric switches. We would like to replace these with modern ones. I assume this can be done without any problems, right? What are the costs? Especially where there are only manual controls?
-----
What costs should I roughly plan per sqm for wallpapering the house (also possibly for the wallpaperer)? (medium to better wallpaper quality)?
----
What do I have to roughly calculate per sqm including installation for flooring (wood)?
---
How much does it cost if I completely tear down a wall about 4 meters long to open up a room?
----
I know, many questions and not all for the new build… but maybe you can still help? THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
