"We had a fireplace remodel and the D&D team were professionals from start to finish. From listening to what we wanted, to understanding the design, to delivering a fireplace that was spot on to our expectations! Everyone we worked with was so nice and knew what we were looking for. This is a great team of folks, who are all excellent at their jobs. "

"John did a bedroom/hallway remodel for us. He was awesome to work with and someone we could 100% trust with regard to what was needed and how much it costs! He helped us figure out what we wanted to do and made great suggestions. When we ran into some unique issues with the room, he worked with us to make some changes to the design and keep costs down. The remodel turned out awesome!! Highly recommend going with March construction!!"

"Overall, very happy with work and team. Only drawback was at times I felt like I was a secondary job and not a priority. Most work was completed outside of the normal 8a-5p workday and weekends."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Lakewood, 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.
