Your basement is 800 square feet of concrete block and one light bulb. Meanwhile, your family is stepping over each other upstairs. Finishing that basement adds a bedroom, a playroom, a home office, or all three — without moving or adding an addition.

You got a quote to finish your basement and the contractor didn't mention moisture testing or egress windows. In Maryland, those aren't optional — they're code. A permit-skipping finish can fail a buyer's inspection years later and cost you the deal.
