We are absolutely thrilled with how our basement turned out! Everything was great from start to finish. The bids and applicable change orders were clear and thorough, and the quality of the work was impeccable. They helped us work through a variety of pros and cons with different upgrades, and ultimately everything turned out exactly how we envisioned. Would highly recommend them!

Utah Basement Finishers did a great job finishing my basement in a timely and affordable manner. They finished everything well above my expectations and treated me like their top client, even though I know they had a lot of other projects they were finishing at the same time that probably would have taken priority over my smaller basement. 10/10 would recommend!

We waited until the last minute to start our basement finish. We need more bedrooms due to another baby being on the way. We had our bid within 3 days and started the basement about 2 weeks later. Austin was great. He helped us figure out a couple of details in the framing that really worked out well. The basement was always clean. What a great team. Utah Basement Finishers completed the basement 2 weeks ahead of schedule which was very helpful. We’re so grateful that they responded quickly and that their bid was fair so that we could finish our basement.
