## Basement bedrooms, done to code A basement bedroom is the cheapest square footage you will ever add to a Twin Cities house — as long as it is done properly. Done wrong, it is an unpermitted room that an appraiser will not count, an insurer can argue about, and a tenant should not be sleeping in. ### What a finished basement bedroom needs - A compliant **egress window** and well (see our egress window page) - **7-foot ceiling height** over the required area - **Moisture control first**: fix the grading, gutters, or drain tile before framing - Framed walls held off the foundation with a **rigid or spray foam** layer, per Minnesota's basement wall insulation rules - **Heat**: a supply register plus a return, sized for the space - **Interconnected smoke alarm** in the room and a **CO alarm** nearby - Code-count receptacles, a switched light, and a permitted electrical rough-in - Egress path from the room to the exterior that is not through a mechanical room ### Typical scope and timeline Framing and insulation, electrical and HVAC rough-in, inspection, insulation inspection, drywall, texture, paint, doors, trim, flooring, closet, final. Most single-bedroom projects run **3 to 6 weeks** including inspection scheduling. ### Rough cost | Scope | Typical range | |---|---| | Bedroom only, egress already in place | $9,000 – $18,000 | | Bedroom plus new egress window | $14,000 – $28,000 | | Bedroom plus a 3/4 bath | $28,000 – $50,000 | Estimates for planning, not a quote. ### The cash-flow math Price the rent for a comparable room in your city, subtract nothing for a room already inside your footprint, and divide your project cost by that monthly number. A basement bedroom that rents by the room in Minneapolis or St. Paul frequently pays for itself in well under five years, and it counts as a bedroom when you sell — provided the permit and the egress window are there.
