"Francisco Garcia did an excellent job finishing our basement. The work quality is excellent. The communication and flexibility throughout the project was excellent. The project finished on time within budget with zero surprises. Any concerns that arose were addressed expeditiously and professionally. I highly recommend Colorado Paradise Builders for your next project. The building inspections were coordinated by Colorado Paradise Builders and passed easily. We learned while talking to the inspectors that we had a gift by using Francisco as a general contractor. They mentioned other people in the business may not provide the level of customer service and professionalism which Colorado Paradise Builders demonstrated on our basement finishing project. I could not be more enthusiastic with a recommendation."

"We remodeled our upstairs bathroom in our home and spoke to several highly rated contractors on Angi before deciding to work with Daniel and Stonebrook. We were immediately impressed with his followthrough on an estimate and his bid was clear and competitive. Daniel and his team were very good about maintaining a clear schedule and for organizing the process with a shared construction calendar and proactive communications about the days the team would be on site. As with any project, there were some surprises along the way with material selection or scheduling problems with sub-contractors, but Daniel was proactive and responsive. We worked together to find solutions that met our budget and materials preferences and the costs were clear from day one. For each progress billing we knew and agreed with all work being billed. We ended up so pleased working with Daniel that we expanded our project to include some additional work in the basement. We would highly recommend them."

"All I can say is WOW! We hired HWG to re-do our rather dingy, dark and unspectacular basement. Briana and crew were so very kind helping us reimagine our circumstance and make it a reality, an unimagined dream come true. Light, welcoming and now... maybe the showplace of our home? We'd feared having to deal with a lot of noise, dust and the like and what a great surprise! The crew was courteous, friendly, considerate and, guess what! They finished ahead of schedule and a little below budget. Along the way, I suppose like most people, we decided to make changes here and there. HWG took this all in stride and embraced our suggestions / preferences as work progressed. Delightful people. Incredible work and what a fantastic result! Thanks, Briana. Thanks to all the folks who transformed our basement. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Simply the very best. We just wish there were 10 stars to award. ð"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Drake, 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.
