"Don was very prompt and had the request taken care of the same day as requested. I would do business with Don again in the future should the need arise. Don said that he would be available for further assistance if we need it as we move forward with our project. Very reasonably priced."

"Everything went perfectly. Chris Lawrence single-handedly finished the entire job in one loooong day. This basically on the spur of the moment b/c our drywall contractor flaked out over the prior weekend."

"<p>A friend had Scott with Seller Construction finish their basement and we were very impressed with the design and workmanship.  We asked Scott to give us a bid on finishing our basement and obtained bids from other companies as well.  Seller Construction was very competitive in pricing and based on seeing his work, we decided to go with him.  He did an outstanding job!  The basement is approx. 970 sq. ft.  We had an entertainment room, play room, bedroom with a closet, 3/4 bathroom, an arts/craft room and a storage room built.  Scott was professional from start to finish.  He arrived on time everyday, got the permits, etc. needed.  He worked with us on the design and made great suggestions.  He did everything we wanted, including finding door knobs in Ft. Collins to match what we had throughout the rest of the house.  He used a professional plumber and electrician and was on site the entire time.   </p> Other companies told us that we would have to tear up the existing bathroom pipes, etc., but Scott told us that it wasn't necessary.  He even managed to add a linen closet in the bathroom.  The walls are flawless as far as seeing seams in the drywall, and painted the ceiling and all the rooms in the colors that we wanted.  We've recommended him to friends and they've been happy with his work as well.  We will definitely hire him again for future projects."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Telluride, 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.
