"I purchased a Pella patio door & installation through a retailer that turned into a total disaster and was eventually abandoned by the installer. I called Cransten to properly install, frame out, insulate & trim the door unit. Alan did everything | asked for and more. Alan is a true craftsman who took on a very challenging project and turned it into perfection! I would highly recommend Cransten and will definitely use again."

"Ed and his crew did a great job. The work was done quickly. The texture matched the existing texture where the new drywall met existing and where there were patches. He was very easy to work with and professional."

"Corey was an amazing project manager. The company came out at the beginning of 2023, as I was expecting my first child by mid-summer, and they were able to complete the entire basement in the time that I needed. Very happy with their work. They even came out about a year later, when we were having issues (water leaking through one of the windows) with one they had put in and sealed. Would highly recommend. "

"I had Hometown Construction redo the tile in both of my showers. The main bathroom they took out the tub converted to shower only all new tile to ceiling, new floor, shower doors.Second shower new floor, walls, tile to the ceiling. New fixtures in both. They came out beautiful!! Today they put in my new counter top in the kitchen. I absolutely love all the work that this company has done for me. Thank you Josh & Shawn for making sure that every thing came out perfect. Your teams came in all were so nice and professional. And knew what was happening in each step. I loved how they all cleaned as they worked & made sure it was cleaned up before they left. So happy with everything. I will hire this company again, & again. I would recommend to anyone for their home remodels THANK YOU HOMETOWN CONSTRUCTION "

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Aurora, CO

Finishing a basement turns unused square footage into livable space and returns up to 70% of what you spend when you sell your home. Beyond that resale boost, you gain a playroom, home office, or guest suite you can start enjoying right away. That mix of daily comfort and solid return on investment (ROI) makes basement finishing one of the smartest upgrades you can tackle.

In some parts of the country—especially lots on swamps, high water tables, or other wetlands—local codes prohibit basements. Saturated soil puts constant pressure on foundation walls and lets water seep in faster than any sump pump can handle. 

If your property sits on waterlogged ground, building on a slab or crawl space is often safer, more affordable, and code-compliant.

Most basements wrap up in four to eight weeks. Framing takes three to five days, with electrical and plumbing rough-ins following over the next week. Add five days for drywall, two to three for flooring, and another week for paint, trim, and punch-list items. 

Delays can happen if materials run late or your contractor’s calendar is packed, so build in a little cushion when you plan.

Whether a finished basement counts toward your home’s official square footage depends on local rules. Many areas only include below-grade space if it has code-approved egress, fully finished walls, ceilings, and floors, plus consistent heating. 

Check with your local assessor or building department before you start; meeting those standards can affect taxes, appraisals, and resale value.

Building codes require a checklist: dedicated heat and electrical service, a code-approved stairway, and at least one egress window or exterior door. Walls, ceilings, and floors must be fully finished and meet insulation, ventilation, and fire-separation standards. If you add a bedroom, you’ll also need a closet, proper clearances, and safe exits. If you change the layout later, be ready to update the space so every new room still meets today’s code.
