Basement Finish Length

One of the most popular questions I receive is "How long does it take to finish my basement"? There are many different responses to this question. I have done a simple basement finish in 700 sq ft basement without paint in 2 weeks. This is working with a two man crew around the days, nights, and weekends. You really have to fly to get it done this quickly. An average basement with a few more rooms, trim upgrades, and paint usually takes about a month. If you get into a high end basement finish with tile, bathroom, shower, wet bar, media center, built in bookshelf, stairway, and stain work. Expect to spend at least 6 weeks.
