We are so grateful we found Brian and Ryan! Finishing an unfinished basement can easily be overwhelming. However, Basement Builders completed the task in a timely manner with clear communication throughout the whole process. In addition, they gave us a competitive quote. The crew are great to work with, and happily adjusted plans when ideas came to mind along the way. We were comfortable having them in our home, and are very approachable. If an item needed fixing or adjusting, they always resolved the issue swiftly; we are confident in contacting them following this experience if something needs to be fixed. We have no regrets using Basement Builders, and will use them in the future when we are ready for additional projects.

We had a great overall experience working with Utah Basement Builders! They gave us a competitive quote and, most impressively, stuck to that budget. Brian and Ryan’s crews worked efficiently, and we are very pleased with the quality of the finished work. There were some delay’s with working into subcontractor’s schedules, but the communication was great, and we felt like we always had a good idea of what was going on. We recommend them!

Brian and team finished our basement on time, despite the many additions and alterations along the way. My wife and I had a good initial gut feeling about Brian, and he followed through, impressing us the whole way to finish. Communication could not have been better, quality was great, prices were very fair. I highly recommend this company.

I needed my basement to be turned into a walkout apartment. It was a big ask. They took my vision and made it work. Literally everything I asked for was done. I was most impressed with the communication. They were quick to respond and asked me questions of what I wanted for the entire project. They stayed on budget which I know is a rare thing. I have worked with two others companies on home projects and have never been on budget. Their original quote was accurate and only changed if I made changes from the original agreement. Quality was beyond my expectations. I will absolutely work with them again. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Brian & Ryan are fabulous to work with. Their quote was the most reasonable and their quality finishing my entire basement apartment was superb - everyone who visits talks about how high quality the work is, what nice craftsmanship. They were flexible and happy to work with me on a few new requests as we went along.

Why Basement Remodeling & Finishing Makes Sense

Your basement offers the potential for doubling the livable square footage of your home — or at least increasing it significantly.
But unlike an addition, the foundation, ceiling, and walls are already in place. Utilities are all in place as well, making it quick, easy, and affordable to connect power, water and drain lines throughout the space. Construction time and cost are lower, and the potential for interrupting your life is minimal. Heating and cooling your basement is also more cost-effective, thanks to the impressive insulating qualities provided by the surrounding soils.

Finally, you have virtually unlimited options for how you want to layout and configure your space. Build bedrooms, closets, bathrooms, storage space, or whatever you and your family prefer. Or if you rather, create a large, open, and flexible space you can define with furnishings.

Basement Remodeling & Finishing Options

Although you have the freedom to layout your space however you prefer, consider some of the most popular options for your project. These options deliver the maximum for your investment, improving the value of your home as well as its comfort and convenience for your family.
Home theater rooms are more popular than ever, especially as we are spending more time at home with family and friends. You can have a true cinematic experience without ever going out. Likewise, game rooms — especially those that include a basement bar or kitchen — are a perfect choice for families who enjoy video games, board games, and other leisure activities.

If you’re outgrowing your home, consider adding bedrooms and bathrooms. You can add common areas and living room space or even a full guest suite, which is perfect for visitors, older kids or in-laws.

Whatever your layout of choice, we can create a design with the basement flooring, built-ins, and finishes you prefer. We can install basement windows to maximize natural light and safety and even replace your basement stairs with a safe and functional new staircase.
