If you’re like most homeowners in Highland, your basement is probably where Christmas decorations and forgotten boxes go to collect dust. But there is serious untapped potential in your basement.

Imagine walking downstairs to a cozy family room where everyone wants to gather, a quiet home office where you can focus on work, or a guest suite that makes visiting relatives feel welcome. Whatever your family needs, your basement can become that space, designed exactly how you want it.

And it’s not just about making your life better – it’s also smart money. While adding on to your house can cost over $200 per square foot, finishing your basement typically runs between $35 and $45 per square foot. That’s a lot more space for way less cash, and it adds value to your home.

With hot Utah Summers, basements can be a great place to stay cool. They’re naturally cooler on the upper floors and make them a haven when the temperatures are in the 90s.

Utah Basement Finisher is a locally owned, licensed general contractor in Utah. We have been in business since 2010 and focus exclusively on basement finishing.

Step 1: Consultation & Bid
We begin with a free in-home consultation to walk through your space, hear your ideas, and offer suggestions that align with your goals and budget. Whether you’re dreaming of custom cabinetry, a basement kitchen, or premium finishes, we’ll explain the cost of each feature and suggest innovative alternatives if needed.

After we talk, you’ll get a straightforward bid that breaks down everything – what we’re doing, what it costs, and where you have options to make changes if your priorities shift or your budget needs tweaking. No confusing jargon, mysterious line items, or hidden surprises that pop up later, just honest, precise numbers laid out so you know exactly what you’re getting into and can make decisions with confidence.

Step 2: Drawings & Permits
Once you give us the go-ahead, we’ll draw up the exact design so we’re all on the same page before we start swinging hammers.

We’ll also take care of all the permit stuff with Highland. Yeah, it’s paperwork, but it’s essential paperwork – it means your basement will be safe, up to code, and won’t cause headaches when you go to sell your house down the road.

Step 3: Construction
Our crew knows what they’re doing, and we’ve got a system that keeps things moving along without breaking your budget. Most Highland basements take approximately 10-12 weeks to complete, although adding a kitchen, wet bar, or other custom features may require an additional week or two.

We’ll keep you in the loop the whole time – checking in when we hit major milestones and walking through the space with you so you can see how everything’s coming along.

Step 4: Final Walkthrough & Completion
After the final inspection is passed, we’ll conduct a comprehensive walkthrough of the space together. We’ll take care of anything that needs attention within five business days. We don’t consider the project complete until you’re 100% satisfied.
