JordanUtah 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!Posted on Google

Darian WestWe 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.Posted on Google

Utah Basement Bedroom FAQs
Everything You Need to Know About Basement Bedrooms.
Quick Answer:
Yes. Basement bedrooms in Utah need an emergency escape and rescue opening. In most homes, that means having an egress window that meets current building code requirements.
Detailed Answer:
An egress window gives someone a way to get out of the bedroom in an emergency and also gives firefighters another way to get in. Because of that, a regular basement window doesn’t automatically qualify just because there’s already one in the room.
Sometimes an existing window is large enough and meets the requirements for egress. If it does, you may not need to make any changes. We can check the window size, how it opens, and the window well to see whether it will work for a bedroom.
If the existing window is too small, we can usually enlarge the opening and install an egress window and window well. This is fairly common when adding bedrooms to older unfinished basements that weren’t originally set up for them.
We’ll check the windows when we’re planning your basement and let you know if any of them need to be changed. If you need a new egress window, we can include it in the project and take care of it along with the rest of the basement.
Quick Answer:
Not always. A closet generally isn’t what determines whether a room can be considered a bedroom, but we still recommend adding one if you have the space.
Detailed Answer:
A lot of homeowners assume a bedroom has to have a closet, but that isn’t necessarily the case. Building codes are generally more concerned with things like the size of the room, ceiling height, smoke alarms, and having a proper way to get out in an emergency.
That said, a closet is still nice to have. If the room will be used by a child, teenager, guest, or other family member, having a place for clothes and other belongings makes the bedroom a lot more practical.
Closets can also be worked into the basement layout without taking up a huge amount of space. A standard reach-in closet is enough for most basement bedrooms, and sometimes we can use an area that would otherwise be difficult to do much with.
If you’re tight on space, though, we can look at the overall floor plan and decide whether a closet is worth giving up the extra room. Depending on how you plan to use the bedroom, you may decide you’d rather have the additional floor space.
Quick Answer:
The biggest things are light, temperature, and finishes. If the room is bright, comfortable, and finished like the rest of your home, it won’t feel nearly as much like a basement.
Detailed Answer:
One of the biggest giveaways that you’re in a basement is a small window and not much natural light. If we’re adding an egress window for the bedroom, the larger opening usually helps quite a bit. Good lighting inside the room is important too, especially once the sun goes down.
Basement bedrooms can also feel cold if the heating and cooling aren’t planned correctly. We look at the HVAC and insulation when we finish the basement so the bedroom stays comfortable instead of always feeling a few degrees colder than upstairs.
After that, a lot of it comes down to how you finish the room. Nice carpet or flooring, good trim, normal bedroom doors, and the same kind of paint and finishes you use upstairs all help. You don’t need to do anything fancy you just don’t want the bedroom to look or feel like a converted storage room.
We’ve finished plenty of basement bedrooms that don’t really feel like basement bedrooms when they’re done. A good-sized window, plenty of light, and a comfortable room make a bigger difference than most people expect.
Quick Answer:
It can. A finished basement bedroom gives your home more usable space and can make it more appealing to buyers who need an extra bedroom.
Detailed Answer:
Adding a bedroom is one way to get more use out of the square footage you already have. Instead of building an addition, you can turn part of an unfinished basement into a bedroom for kids, guests, teenagers, or family members.
An extra bedroom can also be a selling point when you eventually put the house on the market. Buyers may like having the additional space, especially if the rest of the basement is finished and the bedroom feels like it belongs with the rest of the home.
That doesn’t necessarily mean a basement bedroom will add a specific dollar amount to your home’s value. How much it helps depends on the home, the neighborhood, the local real estate market, and how basement space is treated when the home is appraised.
If you’re already planning to finish the basement, adding a bedroom can still make a lot of sense even if resale isn’t your main reason for doing it. You get a room you can use now, and when it comes time to sell, the next owner has that extra space too.
Quick Answer:
Yes. We take care of the permits and schedule the required inspections as part of your basement finishing project.
Detailed Answer:
If you’re adding a bedroom while finishing your basement, there are several things that need to meet local building code. That can include the bedroom size and ceiling height, electrical work, heating and cooling, smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, and the required emergency exit.
We handle the permit application before construction begins and work with the city throughout the project. As we reach different stages of construction, we schedule the inspections and make sure the work is ready before the inspector arrives.
There are usually several inspections along the way, including framing, electrical, HVAC, and insulation. The exact inspections can vary depending on the city and what we’re building in your basement.
You don’t need to apply for permits, figure out when to call the inspector, or keep track of what needs to be inspected next. We handle that as part of the job and keep the project moving once each inspection is completed.
Quick Answer:
Yes. We include a 2-Year Craftsmanship Warranty with every basement we finish, along with our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
Detailed Answer:
We want you to be happy with your basement when we’re finished, but we also know that sometimes small things show up after you’ve been living in the space for a while. That’s why our work comes with a 2-Year Craftsmanship Warranty. If something comes up that’s related to our workmanship, give us a call and we’ll come back and take care of it.
Your approval is important. We do detailed inspections at each milestone of the basement finishing process. The final inspection is vital and the city lets us know that the basement is complete and ready for habitation. There will be a few touchups that we will handle for you quickly. We do not receive final payment for your basement until the punch list is done and you’re happy with the basement.
Once the basement is complete you can enjoy your comprehensive 2-year warranty and know that we stand behind our work.
