Basement Finishing in Colorado Springs

How does finishing your basement make the most impactful change you can make to your home’s value?

An unfinished basement is quite simply just a large storage room. There, we said it. With an unfinished basement you are literally sitting on an untapped resource that will add to your home’s overall value more than anything else you could ever choose to improve for your home.

Yes, finishing your basement carries an initial investment, but it also delivers a near immediate return. The simple formula for determining your home’s overall value is that county assessors base the value on finished square footage. The more you have, the more it’s now worth. Not only can you add functional and liveable space for a home theater or game room, a mother-in-law or guest suite, an entertainment hub, or something else entirely, it also adds equity back into your home. In many cases, homeowners have borrowed from their home’s current equity to help with the cost to finish their basement. Then they might choose to refinance with the increased valuation to pay a large portion, if not all of the project off!

What is the typical cost to finish a basement?

A: The two biggest factors for a basement finish cost are the overall size, and the amenities and rooms you are looking for. For a more basic basement finish, you can anticipate to be approximately $50-55 per square foot. The best way to get an accurate estimate, is to schedule a free estimate with us to discuss your project and specific needs.

How long does a typical basement finishing project take?

A: The timeline varies depending on the size and complexity of your project. On average, a basement finish project takes 4-6 months from start to finish. Some will finish in as little as 1-2 months, others are 6 months or more. The scope of work desired is the main contributing factor for how long your project will take. Our estimates are free and once we see your project and understand your needs, we can then provide a tailored estimate for both cost and overall timeline to completion.

Can I include custom features like a home theater or a wet bar?

A: Absolutely! We specialize in designing and building custom spaces tailored to your lifestyle. Most theaters can be accommodated easily in almost any area you would like. Wet bars and their locations will depend on the location of existing plumbing supply lines and drains. Very few situations have not been compatible with code requirements to make it work.

Are you able to help with unique or unconventional ideas for my basement?

A: Sure! We love bringing creative ideas to life, whether it’s a hidden bookcase door to a speakeasy, a wine cellar, a sports fan’s dream room, a tongue and groove ceiling, or just about anything else you can think of, we’ll do our best to make whatever you can think of happen.

How can I maximize my basement’s value for resale?

A: Quality finishes, a well designed layout, and popular features like guest suites, theaters or entertainment and gaming spaces can significantly boost your home’s market appeal. Most of all, keep in mind the finished square footage will add the most to your resale value so if you want to keep it simple that’s okay too.

Most of my basement is already finished, can you finish the rest? Or I only want to finish one area right now, is that okay?

A: Yes, we do partial basement finishes too. Some people just need one last area finished, and some only want to finish a small area and leave the rest as is. We’ll work with your needs.

Do you handle permits and inspections?

A: We handle all necessary permits and inspections to ensure your project complies with local regulations and building codes. The permitting and inspections process is something we work with on a daily basis. Any issues raised concerning our work during our inspections are resolved by our team very quickly if they are needed, and at no additional cost to you. We pride ourselves in passing our inspections the first time as often as we can. Sometimes an issue is discovered during a project that we were not able to see in the estimating process.
