Your Basement, Step by Step

Step 1: Consultation & Detailed Bid

We’ll meet with you at your home, take a look at the basement, and talk about what you’d like to do with the space. This is a good time to go over your ideas, budget, and any features you’re considering. If there are a few different ways to approach something, we can also talk through the options and what they’ll cost.

From there, we’ll put together a detailed bid that breaks down the project and pricing. You’ll be able to see what’s included, make changes if needed, and decide what works best for your budget.

Step 2: Drawings & Permits

As part of the preconstruction process, we will create a technical drawing of your basement that includes all of the features listed in the bid. This way, you can visualize the basement before construction starts and identify any obvious issues with the design or layout. We’ll also use this template during construction to stay consistent with your desired basement design.

We’ll also handle the permits with Draper City and schedule the inspections required during the project. You won’t have to figure out who to call or when an inspection needs to happen. We take care of that as part of the job.

Step 3: Construction & Project Management

Once construction starts, we manage the schedule and coordinate everyone working on your basement. That includes framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, drywall, flooring, paint, and the other trades needed to finish the space.

Most basements take 12 weeks to complete once construction starts. Sometimes, due to ordering issues features like kitchens or custom theater rooms can add to the completion time. If so, we will update you accordingly and keep you informed on your basement’s progress.

Step 4: Final Walkthrough & Completion

At the end of the project, we’ll walk through the basement with you and take a close look at the finished work. If you notice something that needs to be touched up or adjusted, we’ll add it to our list and get it taken care of.

Once those final details are finished, your basement is ready for you to move in and start using.

Draper Basement Finishing FAQs

Helpful answers to common questions about planning, pricing, permits, timelines, and finishing your basement in Draper.

How long does basement finishing take in Draper?

Quick Answer:
Most basement finishing projects in Draper take about 10–12 weeks once construction begins. Larger basements or projects with more custom features may take a little longer.

Detailed Answer:
Finishing a basement takes 12 weeks. We follow a 12-week process. What can happen to change this timeline? Change orders, especially those that require special orders. City requirements that extend the process. This is somewhat common if you are planning to add a basement apartment. Kitchens and wet bars are usually not a problem, but if the countertop fabricators are booked, they can sometimes take a couple of weeks to fabricate and install the countertops. This can add to the overall basement completion time.

Before we start construction, we will review the schedule with you and point out items you need to choose and when we will need your choices. We do our best to stay on schedule and most basements are finished in 12 weeks or less. If we have any delays, we’ll keep you updated on your progress and timeline.

Do I need a permit to finish my basement in Draper?

Quick Answer:
Yes. Finishing a basement in Draper requires a building permit, along with inspections at different stages of construction. As a licensed general contractor we can handle this for you and keep your home safe and code compliant.

Detailed Answer:
Permits are a normal part of finishing a basement. Depending on the work being done, the city will inspect things like framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and other parts of the project before everything is covered up.

We will schedule and handle all of the inspections for you. Any follow up items will be dealt with promptly and brought to compliance with city codes. We do this process daily and know the cities and their requirements. Your home will be safe and code complaint.

Can you help design the layout of my basement?

Quick Answer:
Yes. We can help you figure out a basement layout that works for your space, your family, and what you want to include.

Detailed Answer:
You don’t need to have the entire layout figured out before you call us. During the consultation, we’ll talk about what you want in the basement and look at how the space can best be used. That might mean finding room for another bedroom, making the family room larger, deciding where a bathroom should go, or planning ahead for a future wet bar.

Once we have a layout you’re happy with, we’ll create a technical drawing showing where everything will go. You’ll have a chance to look it over and make changes before we start construction.

We can also talk through different options if you’re trying to fit several ideas into the space or stay within a certain budget. Sometimes a small change to the layout can make a big difference in how the finished basement works.

Can you finish my basement around a specific budget?

Quick Answer:
Yes. We can help you prioritize your plans and choose features and finishes that work with your budget.

Detailed Answer:
Basement finishing gives you the flexibility to prioritize what matters most, so you can feel confident customizing your space within your budget. Keeping some areas simple allows more room for upgrades like a nicer bathroom, wet bar, fireplace, or upgraded flooring.

We do our best to help you find budget-friendly alternatives to finishes that do not fit your budget. Pinterest is a popular source of ideas. The problem is that most of these ideas and implementations have close to unlimited budgets. Often, we can help you find a budget-friendly solution that is very similar to the Pinterest option but keeps you on budget and still delivers the feature you are hoping for.

Will finishing my basement add value to my Draper home?

Quick Answer:
A well-finished basement can add useful living space and make your home more appealing to future buyers, helping you feel more confident about your investment.

Detailed Answer:
Finishing space you already have can be a cost-effective way to expand your home’s usable area, but understanding typical costs and required permits can help you plan better. Additional bedrooms, bathrooms, entertainment areas, and flexible living spaces can make the home more functional for your family while you live there.

A professionally finished and permitted basement may also be attractive when it comes time to sell, giving you confidence that your effort can pay off in the long run.

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!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.
