"Having never worked with a contractor before and hearing lots of horror stories, we were cautious about finding a contractor to finish our basement. It took almost a year to find a contractor we wanted to work with, and then a friend of the family recommended Wright Brothers, and we're so happy they did! Both Cameron & Jordan are very transparent, communicative, and hard workers. Another positive about them is they do a lot of the work themselves as they are very skilled in carpentry. They got our basement done on schedule and on budget, which is huge. They also went above and beyond, adding unique features (like a built-in desk for our daughter in the kid's area), and we love it. We would definitely work with them again on our next house and highly recommend them for your project."

"Jeff came by to quote a basement upgrade going from bare walls and ending with a complete family room, bedroom and bath. He clearly understood the entire process and willingly provided valuable inputs/advice that enabled a better visualization of the space. He turned the quote around in a week and I would highly recommend him if you are looking for a quote to upgrade your basement. In the end we did not go with Truste Construction since the bid was outside our budget."

"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."

"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."

"I hired 614 Drywall to remove my popcorn ceilings, re-texture and paint. They were timely, professional, communicative, helpful, and did an amazing job. The ceilings look so great! My house looks so much brighter and updated. It’s a messy job but totally worth it. High quality work and I would recommend them to anyone!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Highlands Ranch, 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.
