"We hired Wright Brothers to do our basement remodel that included a full bar, guest bedroom, bathroom, and a lot of custom millwork (i.e built in entertainment center, wainscoting, base trim and window casing). Although we had a design in mind before we hired Wright Brothers, they were able to offer suggestions to improve what we had already started. Their prices were very fair and the communication from the beginning to the end of the project was outstanding. We never felt pressured to do anything and they were always upfront and transparent when items outside the scope of work were identified. Guests are constantly amazed when they walk in our basement and see the before and after pictures. It is a place our family will use for many years to come thanks to the quality, dependability and integrity Cameron and Jordan put into their jobs."

"Dylan did an amazing job on my living room remodel project. I needed to replace an '80s wood banister with a floor to ceiling wall, along with adding wood planks to the ceiling. He exceeded my expectations and I am so happy with the look of my new living room!"

"We just had our basement finished, and the sub-contractors that were brought in did a great job. We never had to deal with anything. It was all managed by Seth and Phil. We received a finished basement with everything that we wanted."

"Josh and Hometown Construction did a fabulous job on our basement remodel! They were communicative, professional, and showed up on time. All of the subcontractors were also professional and did a fabulous job. Josh regularly came to check on progress of work being done, and he personally took care of any typical construction issues ASAP. They went above and beyond to finish the job to our standards and on time, and they never nickel and dimed us. I’ve already recommended Hometown Construction to friends and family, and I’ll continue to recommend them to anyone looking to remodel their home or basement!"

"Emilio and his team did a fantastic job scraping out popcorn ceilings, retexturing them, and painting them all throughout the house and garage. When the paint started to crack in a couple places, he immediately came back and refinished the area until it was perfect. Emilio is also very responsive via text and takes pride in his work. We would highly recommend Drywall 614 for any project"

"Edgar as his team were great. Home reno/rehab is NOT for the faint of heart so if you are having a team come in and do the dirty work remember it'll get dirty! We had Edgar and his team take down popcorn ceilings throughout our entire new home. Boy was that a project! We COULDN'T be happier with the results. The team is really fun and sweet. They do GREAT work. For a fantastic price. We are already planning on remodeling the basement and we know EXACTLY who we would be calling. Thanks Edgar + Team. Great work! :)"

"Rich and his team totally crushed our basement remodel. They gave me a great estimate, and final price didnâ t change. His team was on one time, diligent, and finished on time. Having worked with other contractors, this was the best experience Iâ ve ever had. Canâ t wait to hire them again to remodel the upstairs."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Brighton, 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.
