Basement finishing costs in Kennesaw
A straightforward finish — framing, insulation, drywall, LVP, lighting, trim and paint — runs $55 to $95 per square foot in Kennesaw. Add a full bath at $16,000 to $28,000, or a wet bar at $9,000 to $20,000.
Any basement bedroom needs a code-compliant egress window or door. Cutting and shoring a window well in a poured or block wall is $6,500 to $12,000, and skipping it means the room can never be listed as a bedroom when you sell.

Garages: floor, storage, then insulation
Diamond-ground epoxy or polyaspartic coating on a Kennesaw two-car garage is $2,500 to $4,500 and takes two to three days. Wall-mounted storage and overhead racks add $1,800 to $6,000 and are what actually let a car park inside again.
If the garage is becoming a gym or shop, insulating the walls and door plus a mini-split is $4,500 to $9,000 — worth it here, where an uninsulated garage runs above 100 degrees for four months a year.
HOA architectural review
Interior basement work rarely needs HOA approval, but anything that changes the exterior — an egress window well, a basement walkout door, a new patio at grade — usually does. Kennesaw boards commonly meet monthly, so figure two to four weeks.
We prepare the drawings and material specs boards ask for so the review runs on the first submission instead of the third.
