Types of Basement Construction
There are 3 kinds of basements that are suitable for remodeling:
Daylight Basements
These are split level basements, with half underground and the other half above ground level. Daylight basements span the full space of the house, matching the space on the first floor. They do not have an exterior door, but usually feature at least one small window to let fresh air in.
Walk Out Basements
Walk out or walk up basements have an outside entrance, which may or may not have stairs leading up to it. These basements sit fully at ground level or half and half, like daylight basements.
Cellars
Technically, cellars are not considered a basement, but this is a common misconception. Cellars extend beneath a small part of a house. This creates temperature consistency, making them the perfect place to store wine, produce, and non-perishable goods. They also make great finished basement living spaces and, with some foundation work, can easily be converted to a full walk out or daylight basement.
