A Basement Designed Around Your Budget

A great basement doesn’t have to include every upgrade to be a space your family will love. We can help you decide where it makes sense to spend a little more and where you can keep things simple. By planning the layout, finishes, and features around your budget from the beginning, you can get the space you need without paying for things you don’t.

Basic finishes: $35–$45 per sf. for a fully finished basement.
Mid-range finishes: $45–$60 per sq. ft. with features like wet bars, upgraded bathrooms, and theater rooms.
High-end finish: We don’t do many basements like this. If you want custom features like an entertainment center, custom finished carpentry, or an off-the-charts theater room, you’ll spend a lot of money.

Design Ideas to Make the Most of Your West Jordan Basement

An unfinished basement gives you a lot of options. You might need another bedroom, a larger family room, or simply a place where the kids can hang out with friends. Or you can use the space for something completely different. The best basement designs start with how your family actually lives and what would make your home more useful.

Home Gyms

If getting to the gym is half the battle, having a workout space downstairs can make things a lot easier. A basement gym doesn’t have to be elaborate, either. A few weights, some open floor space, and your favorite equipment may be all you need. Rubber flooring, good lighting, mirrors, and a ceiling fan can make the space even more comfortable.

Theater Rooms

Basements are a natural fit for home theaters because it’s easier to control the lighting and create a comfortable place to settle in. Depending on your budget and available space, you can keep things simple with a large TV and sectional or go further with surround sound, theater seating, and built-in entertainment features. It can also double as a great place for watching sports, gaming, or spending time with family.

Home Offices

Sometimes the biggest benefit of a basement office is simply having some separation from the rest of the house. Instead of trying to work at the kitchen table or in the middle of a busy family room, you can create a quieter space that’s set aside for work. Good lighting, plenty of outlets, built-in storage, and a solid-core door can help make it a comfortable place to spend the day.

West Jordan Basement Finishing FAQs

Helpful answers to common questions about planning, pricing, designing, and finishing a basement in West Jordan, Utah.

Do I need a permit to finish my basement in West Jordan?

Yes, basement finishing projects generally require permits and inspections, which are standard steps to ensure your project is safe and compliant.

Permits help ensure important parts of your basement, including electrical, plumbing, framing, HVAC, and life-safety features, meet applicable building requirements, which may involve permit fees that we include in your project estimate.

We handle permitting and inspections as part of the project, so you can feel confident that we manage all safety and compliance requirements smoothly on your behalf.

Can I finish my basement on a limited budget?

Quick answer: Yes. With careful planning and a little creativity, we can help you feel confident that you are maximizing your basement finishing budget and find a way to get the most out of the money you have.

Detailed answer: We can help you identify where it makes sense to spend more and where simpler materials or design choices can reduce costs so that you can make informed decisions. A well-planned standard finish can still create an attractive and comfortable basement without expensive upgrades.

If you have a specific budget that you can’t go over, let us know. Your home’s square footage drives most basement plans. There are ways to reduce cost and/or defer some finishes for later. For instance, you do not need carpet to pass final inspection. You can defer this until later. You may also finish the bathroom to pass the 4-way inspection and then stop. We’ll inspect the bathroom, and you can delay the cost of the full finish until you have more money on hand. This way, you won’t have to tear into drywall to finish the bathroom, which will save you money in the long run.

Can I add a basement apartment or mother-in-law suite?

Quick Answer:
In many cases, yes. West Jordan has specific requirements for basement apartments and accessory dwelling units, so what you can build will depend on your home, property, and how you plan to use the space. We can help you work through those requirements before construction begins.

Detailed Answer:
A basement apartment, especially if you already have a separate exterior entrance for your basement. If you don’t, we can help, but the entrances are expensive, usually about $17,000. You’ll also need to include a laundry room and a kitchen or kitchenette in your basement so that it will work as an apartment.

The biggest thing that most cities are cracking down on now is off-street parking. They will require at least one off-street parking space for your basement to qualify as an ADU. We can help you understand the city’s requirements and policies so you can have a legal apartment.

We have experience working with West Jordan and can help determine what your project will require, handle the permitting process, and build those requirements into the plans from the start.

Will finishing my basement add value to my home?

Quick Answer:
Yes. Finishing your basement gives you more usable space and can add value to your home, especially when the work is done well and the layout makes sense.

Detailed Answer:
One of the nice things about finishing a basement is that you’re making use of space that’s already part of your home. An unfinished basement might not do much for you now, but once it’s finished, it can give you another family room, bedrooms, a bathroom, an office, or whatever else your family needs.

And you don’t have to wait until you sell your home to get something out of it. You get to use that extra space every day. Then, when it is time to sell, you have a home with more finished living space for buyers to consider.

Step-by-Step: Finishing Your Basement in West Jordan

Step 1: Consultation & Bid

First, we’ll come out and take a look at your basement. We’ll talk about what you want to do with the space, what’s most important to you, and what you’d like to spend. If you have ideas already, great. If you’re not sure what will work, we can help with that too.

We’ll prepare a detailed bid and specifications for your review. The bid is long, about eight pages of detail. We want you to know exactly what is included in your basement. The cost to complete the basement as bid is guaranteed and will not change unless you specifically request a change order.

Step 2: Drawings & Permits

Once we have the bid settled, it usually takes a few iterations to dial it in, and we’ll provide you with a detailed technical drawing of the basement. This will help you visualize the basement and act as a guide for the workers and contractors who finish your basement.

We’ll also submit the plans to West Jordan and handle the permits. As construction moves along, we’ll schedule the required city inspections. That’s all part of what we handle for you.

Step 3: Construction

Once we have the permits, we can get to work. Most basements take around 10–12 weeks to finish. Kitchens, wet bars, and some custom work can add time to the schedule. Countertops are a good example because we can’t measure them until the cabinets are installed.

Throughout the basement finishing process, we will keep you updated. At each milestone, we will do a walkthrough with you to make sure that the basement is progressing according to plan and that it is being built to the agreed-upon specifications.

Step 4: Final Walkthrough & Completion

At the end of the project, the city will complete its final inspection, and we’ll walk through the basement with you. This is your chance to look everything over and point out anything you want us to take another look at.

If we find something that needs to be touched up or corrected, we’ll take care of it. Once those last details are finished and you’re happy with the basement, the project is complete.

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.
