"Eric and his team were remarkable to work with. They really went above and beyond. We needed some concrete done (the city did some and we hired Solveson to do the remaining) and it looks great. We had a slight miscommunication that I am beyond impressed with how it was handled by Eric. Thank you so much for your great craftsmanship and communication. I look forward to finishing more work with this company in the future. At the moment, this was all the work we could afford. I am so grateful there was also a financing option avaliable to us. We wouldn't have been able to do the work without it."

"When “they” say, “it’s hard to find good help”, most of you know how true this is. Thankfully, I found Paul Holden of Deep Valley Homes. Paul has done several jobs for me and I could not have hoped for better results. In one instance, you cannot tell where the original part of my home ends and Paul’s work begins. If you need anything from a small handyman project to more major repairs, give Paul at Deep Valley Homes a call. "

"David was very professional, courteous, and clear about the cost of the project. He always kept me updated as he progressed. He was always punctual, and it wasn't unusual for him to work back-to-back ten-hour days."

"Horrible. We paid Dan Scott however he not only ‘disappeared’ midway through the job, but he never paid his subs.. despite claiming he had. The work he had done was subpar. He even had his 14 yr old son doing the work. Many mistakes and sloppy work. Awful remodel experience. No attention to detail. Save your money and hire actual professionals to do your remodel project."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Clifton, 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.
