We have approximately 800 unfinished square feet in our basement. We are looking for estmiates... the ceilings are too low (it used to be an outdoor cellar), you have to duck your head under the doorway on your way down the stairs, we have 4 windows that need to be replaced (maybe make 2 of them egress windows, we would like to add a bedroom, a rec room and a bathroom down there, along with a storage space and possibly a laundry area. We also have a large crawl space around the perimeter. Our home is 100 years old, and we are looking to stay with the craftsman style of the home. Thanks.
