Finished basement family room with carpet, recessed lights and an egress window

Basement finishing in Denver, COMore room. Right below you.

Turn the unused floor under your house into space your family uses every day. We plan it and build it with you.

Basement Finishing

The biggest room you are not using

Most basements start as storage and stay that way. The space is there, and so is the square footage you already pay for.

A finished basement can be a family room, a guest bedroom or a home office. It can also be a gym, a bar area or a bathroom.

We start with how you want to live downstairs. Then we plan the framing, floors and light around it.

What it can include

What a finished basement can include

  • 01

    A family or media room

    A comfortable room for movie nights, games and kids, with the lighting to match.

  • 02

    A guest bedroom

    A real bedroom for visitors. Building code requires an egress window, and we plan for it.

  • 03

    A home office

    A quiet, bright place to work that is away from the main floor.

  • 04

    A gym or play space

    Open floor for workouts or toys, with flooring picked to take the wear.

  • 05

    A bar area or a bathroom

    A bar area for guests or a basement bathroom, planned with the plumbing in mind.

  • 06

    Framing, drywall and paint

    Walls framed, hung and finished, then painted, with lighting that fits each room.

  • Newly finished basement with fresh carpet, gray walls and recessed lighting
  • Hands spreading joint compound over a drywall seam
  • House interior at the framing stage with studs and sheathing
Is it time?

Signs your basement is ready to finish

  • It is full of boxes

    Storage has taken over, and you rarely go down there for anything else.

  • The finishes are dated

    Old paneling, a drop ceiling or carpet laid straight on the slab.

  • You are short on rooms

    A growing family, a guest, or a parent who needs somewhere to stay.

  • You work from home

    The kitchen table is not an office, and you need a door you can close.

Denver-area homes

Basements in Denver-area homes

Many homes across the metro have a basement, and plenty are unfinished or dated. That is a lot of room waiting to be used.

Colorado’s health department recommends testing homes for radon. Test for radon before you finish a basement, so you know what you are building over.

Questions

Basements: your questions.

Does a basement bedroom need a window?

Yes. Building code requires an egress, or emergency escape, window in a basement bedroom.

What about moisture in my basement?

We look for signs of moisture first and talk it through with you before we plan anything.

Do I need a permit to finish a basement?

Many finishing jobs that add walls, plumbing or wiring need one. Ask us about permits.

Is financing available?

Ask about financing when we give you your estimate. We will tell you what options there are.
