Utah County Basement Finishing Contractor
Turn the biggest unfinished space in your house into living space or rental income. Family rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, home theaters, and full basement apartments, permitted and built right.
Most homes built in Utah County over the last thirty years came with an unfinished basement. Finishing it is usually the cheapest square footage you'll ever add to your house, and in a market this tight, a basement apartment can cover a real chunk of the mortgage.
We finish basements for families who need the space and for homeowners who want a rental unit. Both get the same work: proper framing, insulation, electrical and plumbing rough-in, drywall, doors and trim, flooring, and a bathroom that's waterproofed by the crew that's responsible for it.
A rentable basement apartment is more than a finished basement with a lock on the door. It needs egress, separate entry, a code-compliant kitchen, fire separation, and in most cities a specific permit. We've built basement apartments with full kitchens, custom cabinetry, quartz counters, and durable flooring that holds up to tenants, and we handle the permit process with the city.
We also do light commercial basement and lower-level build-outs: offices, studios, and storage spaces.
Most homeowners' biggest fear isn't the cost, it's the unknown. Here's exactly what happens after you reach out.

Questions
It depends on size, whether you're adding a bathroom or kitchen, and the finish level. We don't quote by the square foot; we walk the space and give you an itemized quote so you can see exactly where the money goes and adjust the scope.
Most Utah County cities allow accessory apartments with the right permit, egress, parking, and separation requirements. We'll tell you what your city requires before you commit to the project.
Any basement bedroom needs a code-compliant egress window, and apartments need one too. We install egress windows and wells as part of the finish.
Several weeks for a standard finish; longer for a full apartment with a kitchen and separate entrance. The quote includes a realistic schedule.
Yes. Newer homes with unfinished basements are some of our most common projects, and the newer the home, the more straightforward the finish usually is.
