Measuring Square Feet

Question: How is square footage measured?

Answer: The business of measuring square footage may seem fairly clear, but that is not the case.

Some folks measure inside wall to inside wall, others measure to a point halfway into the wall. Some count garages, balconies, and patios, others do not. Some owners and builders count basements, others only count "finished" living space. Another way to measure space is to look at the outside dimensions of a house.
