The average cost to finish a basement depends on the size of the area and your style. If you have a contractor finish it for you the cost could range between $30-$50 thousand for a basement that is around 1200 square feet. If you are any kind of handy man or have a good friend that is, finish it yourself or at least the majority of it. This will save you a lot of money on labor. And you will
. have more money to spend on the furnishings.
