"Al and James completed my annual maintenance yesterday and they were very professional. They fixed some plumbing issues on my sump pump and fortified the sump pump outlet piping to prevent possible further issues. They also took special care to replace and improved upon the original floor linear over the sump pump and left the crawl space spotless."

"The project was to remove old Pella windows and install new Hurricane/Impact rated heavy duty Pella windows, exterior French doors and patio glass doors. The guys created a custom scaffolding system to safely install a 4 high and 4 wide window array in a 3 sided staircase. Replace patio doors etc through out the 11,000sqft house in Aspen. The project was flawless. removal & installation went really smooth and faster the I thought it would because of the weight of the doors & windows. The doors open and function much better than original ones. Thank You Rosendo & Amador"

"Amanda was really very good!  At first I was very skeptical, thinking why did I pay money to just speak with someone on the phone about my kitchen remodel project... but after just a few minutes of her addressing some of the issues/questions I emailed to her earlier, I knew it was worth it.  It was very clear that she knew her business and she gave me several ideas that I had not even thought about.  I told her that I would definitely recommend her to friends and I will very likely use her again myself for my next home project!

"Jorge came and quoted me a reasonable sum to get the job finished. He told me it would take 2 days to get it done and could come the next week. Jorge came on Monday and was completely done with the work and cleaned up the space nicely. I would recommend him and in fact will use him again when I need just about anything done. Great work ethic great price all around great hire."

"I hired these guys to remove 3 pine trees on my property. Travis was very organized and professional with the job. They removed them in a timely manner (same day). And cleaned the ground up very nicely. I would highly highly recommend them to family and friends! I will be doing business with them again!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Gateway, 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.
