"Jordon and Cam were awesome to work with and our new basement is amazing. We had never hired a contractor before so we were nervous about hiring someone. Wright Brothers took the time to answer all questions, and we had a lot of questions. There communication during the job was great and our new basement exceeded our expectation. The initial price they quoted was exactly what we paid, with the exception of a few upgrades we requested after the project had started. We have already referred several of our friends to them and cannot say enough good things about them."

"This is the second time I have hired Sean, and once again his work exceeded my expectations. Sean is always thorough, detailed and quality focused. His work ethic is beyond reproach. He does NOT speed through the job, but takes the right amount to time to make sure it is done right the first time. You never have to call him back to fix anything. I highly recommend Master MCG Remodeling for any of your household remodeling projects."

"Cesar and his guys were punctual and professional. They did a great job working with us on the design and build of our patio cover project which turned out exactly how we expected. We have already CMR to friends and neighbors and would use him again. CMR's price was extremely reasonable and much cheaper than other quotes we got. His cheaper price did not reflect with lesser quality craftsmanship. We are very pleased with his work and have received many compliments from our friends and neighbors."

Customers say: Terrific value

"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 had been looking for over a year for someone reliable to do a fairly small job, but couldn't find anyone until we found Monroe Construction. Kenzie was professional, considerate in keeping us updated with how far out he would be until he could start work, was extremely diligent in minimizing the mess and potential damage to our property (there was NO damage), and was quick and efficient ient getting the job started and finished. We would recommend Monroe Construction to everyone, and we would hire them again in a heartbeat."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Gilcrest, 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.
