Finishing Your Basement: 11 Tips for Creating the Ultimate Multipurpose Room

Basement finishing for Herriman’s foothill homes

Herriman had about 1,500 residents in 2000. Today, it has about 60,000, and most of that growth climbed straight up the eastern slopes of the Oquirrh Mountains into master-planned neighborhoods like Rosecrest. That foothill terrain, on the opposite side of the valley from the Wasatch Range, shapes what a basement project here needs.

Why Herriman homeowners choose Utah Basement Builders

Ryan and Brian have finished and remodeled basements for nearly 30 years, long enough to have watched Herriman grow from a small farm town into a city of 60,000. That means experience with both the handful of older homes near the historic town center and the master-planned foothill neighborhoods that make up most of Herriman today.

Herriman homeowners get the same process every time: the bidding owner runs the crew on-site, construction stays contained to the basement, and we manage permits in-house through final cleanup.

  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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a difference between basements in Herriman's historic town center and the newer foothill subdivisions?

Yes. Homes in the historic core sit on flatter ground with older, simpler basements. The newer foothill subdivisions climb the eastern slope of the Oquirrh Mountains and often have enough grade change to support a walkout basement.

Given Herriman's growth over the past 25 years, are most basements here unfinished builder spaces?

Largely, yes. Most Herriman homes were built during that growth period, and many still have unfinished basements awaiting their first finish, similar to other fast-growing cities on this side of the valley.

Does Herriman's foothill wildfire risk affect basement design?

It can factor into exterior considerations, such as a walkout door’s materials or an egress window well’s placement near dry brush, though it doesn’t affect the basement finishing work itself.

Are Herriman's Oquirrh Mountain lots different from Wasatch-side cities for basement excavation?

The Oquirrh Mountains have a different geologic history than the Wasatch Range on the other side of the valley, which means different soil and bedrock conditions from one foothill lot to the next.

Does Herriman's fast growth affect how quickly a basement project can get scheduled with a contractor?

It can. High demand in a fast-growing city can mean longer lead times for a quote to become a scheduled start date. We build realistic timelines into every estimate rather than promising a date we can’t hit.

Can you legally live in a basement in Herriman?

Yes, as long as it meets Utah’s requirements for legal living space, including a compliant egress window for any bedroom, adequate ceiling height, and a working smoke detector. A finished basement that skips these requirements is still usable, but it won’t count as legal living space for resale or appraisal purposes.

Is it unhealthy to sleep in a basement?

Not inherently, as long as the space is properly ventilated and any bedroom has a code-compliant egress window.

Moisture and mold are the bigger concerns in a below-grade room, so proper drainage, airflow, and sometimes a dehumidifier matter more in a basement bedroom than they do in an upstairs bedroom.

Why are basements so common in Utah when they're rare in other states?

Utah’s frost line requires foundations to be dug several feet deep, regardless of whether a basement is planned, so adding one costs relatively little once that excavation is already happening. In warmer states with a shallower frost line, a basement is a bigger added expense, which is part of why they’re less common there.
