New Poll Reveals Homeowners' Growing Confidence in DIY Basement Projects

BasementCalculator.com, a leading online resource for basement planning, cost estimating, and remodeling guidance, has released the results of its latest visitor poll-revealing how homeowners plan to approach their upcoming basement finishing projects.

In the poll, site visitors were asked a simple but telling question: "Do you plan to do the basement finishing work yourself?" The results highlight a blend of DIY ambition and a continued reliance on professional expertise:

32% of respondents said Yes, they plan to take on the project themselves.

21% said No, indicating they will rely entirely on professional contractors.

46% chose a middle-ground approach, saying they would do the easy parts themselves but hire a pro for the rest.

"These results reflect a trend we've been noticing for years," said Jason Keeley, owner of BasementCalculator.com. "Homeowners want to be more hands-on, especially with tasks like painting, flooring, or simple framing, but they still trust professionals for complex work like electrical, plumbing, or structural changes. It's a smart hybrid approach."

The data underscores the increasing empowerment of homeowners thanks to online tools, tutorials, and cost calculators-while also acknowledging the ongoing importance of licensed contractors for specialized work.

BasementCalculator.com continues to provide homeowners with practical tools and guidance, from estimating project costs to connecting with qualified basement finishing professionals.
