Re: cost to expand a basement
I'm pretty sure you can only expand a basement if you are adding to the footprint. You can't "dig" under the existing house - or at least easily.
This is our issue. The biggest "complaint" about our house from buyers is that we don't have a full basement - there is nothing we can do about it. It's pretty frustrating.

You absolutely can dig out the basement. My basement was dug out before I bought it. I have a coworker who did it himself. I've seen it on Holmes on Homes. I have no idea on the cost, but it definitely can, and has been done numerous times.
