What burned you before
- Bid was one number, then it climbed halfway through
- Goes quiet for days — you do the chasing
- Cut corners on egress, permits, or moisture
- Gone the second the check clears — no warranty

A finished basement with a code-legal egress bedroom and a full bathroom added.
The most common Utah County basement finish.
$85,000 – $180,000
A complete build-out — apartment, wet bar, or home theater, fully finished.
When the basement becomes its own space.
The clients who love us most are the ones who care about price — and about getting the most for every dollar. That’s exactly how we work: one honest number, no runaround, and you never pay to find out. You’re our kind of client.
Smart question — it’s the one price-focused homeowners ask most. Some things move the number you can’t see from a photo: a tough dig or low ceilings, moving plumbing for a bathroom, adding egress, HVAC or code upgrades, or moisture hiding behind a wall. Dakota’s free in-home visit is where you find out — he walks your actual basement, tells you straight what would add cost and what wouldn’t, and answers every question. That’s how you avoid surprises and get the most for your money.
Square footage · bathrooms & plumbing · egress windows + legal bedrooms · a wet bar or kitchen · ceiling height & HVAC · permits. The more of these you add, the higher the range — and we’ll show you exactly which ones apply to your basement.
Most give a vague quote, then surprise you with change orders once the walls are open. We put real ranges on this page and one exact price in writing after a free visit. The price we put in writing is the price — if anything changes, you approve it first.
A built-to-code, egress-legal finished basement adds real usable living area and genuine resale appeal — though how it counts toward appraised square footage depends on local rules. We’ll tell you straight if it’s worth it for your home — even if the answer is ‘not yet.’
Asked before
It depends on the size and scope — a simple open finish lands at the low end of the ranges above, while adding a code-legal bedroom and a full bathroom (the most common Utah County finish) moves it up. You get a real ballpark here and your exact number after a free visit.
It varies with the finishes you choose and whether you add a bathroom or a bedroom. Per-square-foot can mislead, because a bathroom or wet bar changes it a lot — two basements the same size can land in very different places. We price the whole job in writing, not a guess per foot.
Yes. A bathroom adds plumbing, and a legal bedroom needs a code-legal egress window — both move the range up. We’ll show you exactly how much they add for your basement so there are no surprises.
A real ballpark is right here on this page. The exact number takes a quick, free in-home look — every basement’s size, ceiling height, and layout differ, so an honest exact price means seeing the space. No obligation.
Size, a bathroom, egress, ceiling height, HVAC, and the finishes you pick all move it. That’s why we show ranges by scope on this page instead of one number that fits nobody — then give you one exact price after a free visit.
For most homes, yes — egress-legal, built-to-code finished space adds real usable living area and resale appeal that buyers notice. Just know how it counts toward your appraised square footage depends on local rules, so it’s not identical for every home. We’ll tell you straight — even if it’s ‘not yet.’
