"We hired Wright Brothers to do our basement remodel that included a full bar, guest bedroom, bathroom, and a lot of custom millwork (i.e built in entertainment center, wainscoting, base trim and window casing). Although we had a design in mind before we hired Wright Brothers, they were able to offer suggestions to improve what we had already started. Their prices were very fair and the communication from the beginning to the end of the project was outstanding. We never felt pressured to do anything and they were always upfront and transparent when items outside the scope of work were identified. Guests are constantly amazed when they walk in our basement and see the before and after pictures. It is a place our family will use for many years to come thanks to the quality, dependability and integrity Cameron and Jordan put into their jobs."

"We could not be more pleased with our basement remodel from D&D. The basement is now my favorite part of the home. Dylan listened to all our wild ideas from a murphy bookshelf, rock wall, inlaid shelving, dry bar and french doors and provided the expertise to make them all come to life. The project was on time and every step of the process was clearly communicated with us beforehand. They took extra care in all the finishing touches from molding to the specific hue of lighting. Their team was extremely conscientious, friendly, and cleaned up at the end of each day. Dylan and a team member stayed well into the evening one night to help resolve a plumbing issue that came up that was no fault of his team. We definitely feel like the D&D team went above and beyond for us and can't wait to use them for another project."

"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."

"We hired Matt and the A-Z Remodel and Repair team for our basement remodel, and the experience exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Matt was punctual, professional, and incredibly communicative throughout the entire project. We always knew what was happening and what to expect next. The job site was kept impressively clean and organized every single day, which made living through a remodel far less disruptive than we anticipated. Matt’s attention to detail is outstanding, and it shows in the quality of the finished work. Even when subcontractors were on site, Matt was there alongside them, making sure everything was executed to his standard. The project stayed on schedule, the craftsmanship is excellent, and Matt’s customer-service-first approach made the whole process genuinely enjoyable. We’d hire A-Z Remodel and Repair again without hesitation and recommend them to anyone looking for a contractor who truly cares about doing the job right."

"Hometown Construction was an excellent partner in the construction of my deck and basement remodel. Josh was professional, listened to my concerns and finished on time and on budget. His subcontractors emulated the same values and professionalism as Josh."

"Andy and his dad did a great job on the trim work of the house. They even fixed up some other things, like doors that weren't closing properly. They had to come back to finish up some of the work but were prompt in doing so. Andy always had great communication and was very helpful throughout the process. Would definitely hire them for another project in the future."

"I've been in this house since November 1978 and have had it painted several times. Gio and company did the best job of any of the previous contractors. Candace, who came out and did the estimate and coordinated the job, was extremely knowledgeable and took care to point out where repairs were needed. The preparation of scraping and caulking was extensive and meticulous. The paint job was excellent. When the result on the north face of the house revealed that damaged boards higher up on the structure were not presenting well, they modified the contract at my request and essentially resided that entire side. It looks great now! After job completion, they came back at my request to fix a couple of overlooked issues I failed to point out in the walkthrough. Wonderful job. I highly recommend them!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Golden, 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.
