"I hired High West to come do some work at my home. He was quick to respond to text messages, came to my home on time, and completed the work efficiently and quickly. The terms we agreed to corresponded well with the work being done, and I felt like he did great work for the money I paid. I have also seen his work on another location, which is where I heard of him. The work was highly impressive, and the speed he works is what caught my eye. I woukd definitely recommend him for any and all contracting jobs."

Customers say: Terrific value

"I have hired Steve Ellis twice. Once was two years ago and the other was just this week. Both times he tore out floor tile that was installed incorrectly and then installed new floor tile. The first time was in the laundry room. Ditra mat was originally under the tile and was not thinset to the floor. So the tile was moving and grout was coming out where the traffic areas were. Tile came up in whole pieces. The second time Steve came he tore up the existing tile in the pantry, spare bath and master bath. All of which was incorrectly installed by someone else. Steve and Jeff installed new tile with backer board underneath. They did an excellent job! It looks beautiful! Very professionally done. I know, now, that my tile will NOT move because it is installed correctly. I would not use anyone else to do any work that I need done. The pricing is fair, the resulting work is excellent and they were on time each day and completed the job when they said they would. I couldn't have asked for a better job from Steve and Jeff. I have had very bad experiences with OTHER contractors in the past 40+ years. So I know a good/excellent job when I experience it."

"Homey Basements did a great job framing our marriage wall in the basement and sill plate. They were prompt and fit us in when we needed them. They were professional, flexible, had a friendly attitude, and worked hard until it was done, even though it took longer than expected. We would highly recommend them to others looking for framing in the Swan Valley/Star Valley/Idaho Falls areas."

"Arrived on monday at 9am as agreed. Keith made quick work of the first side of the wall demolition. The most impressive aspect of his work throughout, and at the end of the first day; was how clean he maintained the work area! So, he worked quickly and cleaned things up as he worked. A very cool thing is that he used visqueen and collapsible poles to barrier off the work area, again with keeping the work area and more importantly the non work areas separated and clean. As he finished the demolition of one area, he and quot;finishedand quot; off the edges of the work area to provide a clean edge to work with for future finishing work. The second day, again arriving promptly, he set up structural supporting walls, removed the walls 2x4's and and installed the header beam. The last day, he tore down the living room side of the wall. Again keeping inside and outside work areas clean with visqueen barriers and paid special attention to the hardwood floor by protecting it from damage. He finished the job as specified and removed all the demolition material. Overall, completely professional craftsmanship and work ethic <br />"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Idaho Falls, ID

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.
