Finishing a basement myself?? Under 5k?
I've recently been thinking about finishing a basement room, not the entire basement but about 540 SF.
I got a few quotes with the lowest coming in at 5k to the highest for $8800 thus far.
The 5k quote included the following
Framing (2 walls require framing, 2 doors)
Drywall, Mud, Tape
Drop Ceiling
Trim
Electrical wiring
All materials and labor
The guy is good and knows what he is doing. We would need flooring on top of this which he does not do.
Then the $8800 quote included the same minus flooring so about 10k with flooring.
My question is, could I do better than the 5k by doing it myself and taking my time. I would have an electrician come in but I would do the framing, drywall, drop ceiling.
I'm a beginner so I'd really be taking my time to learn about doing this and do it right.
I don't think its a huge job or would be super hard.. 3 walls are already framed and insulated its essentially 2 walls that need framing..
Can I do better than the 5k quote all inclusive ??? I mean, it would be amazing do it it myself and do everything for 5k but I;m not sure its possible..
