"Can't say enough about Jim Ruffin and his crew. They did a superb job on remodeling our basement, and they were the most recent after quoting several sources. We'll definitely hire them again."

"We hired Emilio to patch A LOT in our home. We took out about 20â of old wood paneling, several ceiling fans, all of the old coax cables, and multiple unnecessary soffits around the house. It was an extensive project. He was very respectful, on time, and took care of any and all my concerns when I brought them up. Definitely a great choice and will use him on the next phases of our house project. The quality was really top notch."

"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!"

"Steve and his team were very professional, knowledgeable and flexible with every aspect and detail with regard to finishing our basement. Steve took the time to work with us on selecting final plans and features that all turned out great. It was a couple of years ago when Steve?s team completed the work so we?ve had some time to live in the new space and have enjoyed it very much. I would strongly recommend them for basement and bathroom remodeling."

"Baker finished two rooms in my basement. I received several bids from different contractors and they were middle of the road. They provided me with a project plan and a supervisor (Travis Lefort). They met every key date in their project plan and contacted me on a daily basis to ensure everything they did was to my satisfaction. The contractors they employed to complete my project were all outstanding trades. The quality of their work was excellent and professional. I have experience in dealing with contractors on my past projects and not one have come close to the outstanding communication and hands on this company provides. Travis Lefort is an outstanding individual who managed this project from start to finish. His communication, followup, quality were nothing short of excellent. I can't give Travis Lefort enough accolades on his management of my project. Thank You John T. Hernandez"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Fort Collins, 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.
