Review: Outdated, but excellent - People love to say how you can do anything thanks to Youtube, but truthfully you need a ton of time to do it that way.

The author of Remodeling a Basement has lived it for years and has practical advice for each step along the way. Reading a pithy chapter with carefully selected photos is actually better than spending hours on videos. Just look past the tired interior decorating and the outdated tools depicted. Review: Used this book to finish my first basement! Thank you! - I have a 500 sq-ft basement with an oil tank, boiler and water filtration system and wanted to turn it into livable space and partition out those items at the same time. Without ANY prior experience with putting up walls or anything like that, I looked for a good book and came across this one. It looked promising so I gave it a try and it turned out to be the perfect book. There are a lot of great photos and diagrams to accompany the instructions and it all made the project easier than I expected. I do have to admit, we had one section of our basement professionally finished prior to me starting on the other sections and while the contractor was downstairs working on it, I would periodically go downstairs to watch and learn. This book more or less enforced some of the things I saw him doing. For anyone considering a project like this for the first time, it may seem overwhelming. Getting started was the toughest part. I remember my buddy and I just staring at the basement ceiling to figure out where to start and we were just staring for the longest time. Once we got started and secured the first 2x4 we were moving fast and things began coming together much quicker than expected. It was actually fun at times too! I had the drywall professionally plastered (or mudded, whatever you want to call it) and he was the same guy that did the other section of the basement. He was very surprised with the quality of my work and has praised me several times for it especially knowing this was my first project. Thanks to the book! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #960,296 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #104 in Interior Painting & Wallpapering #1,214 in Home Design & Construction (Books) #1,317 in Do-It-Yourself Home Improvement (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 230 Reviews | ## Images ![Remodeling a Basement: Step-by-step guide to finishing basements safely, from waterproofing to walls.

This is what I would say is a very good book for beginners to mid level carpenters. I got a lot out of it and enjoyed reading it. I recommend it to others, worth the price, it has many good tips and ideas on framing, flooring, plumbing and electrical work in a basement remodel. It is easy to read and follow with good directions with clear instruction, which is a very nice feature of this book, anyone can read it and learn from it and then apply what they read and see in the methods or directions from this book. Very good read and easy to understand, I really liked this basement remodel book, and it actually helped me on a remodel job I just finished in a basement a month ago so I got my moneys worth out of this book. ## Frequently Bought Together - Remodeling a Basement: Revised Edition (Taunton's Build Like a Pro) - Black & Decker The Complete Guide to Finishing Basements: Projects and Practical Solutions for Converting Basements into Livable Space (Black & Decker Complete Guide) - Basements Complete --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/2740845-remodeling-a-basement-step-by-step-guide-to-finishing-basements](https://www.desertcart.it/products/2740845-remodeling-a-basement-step-by-step-guide-to-finishing-basements) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-06-22*
