Basement Finishing for New Construction Homes
Many new homes in Utah County are built with unfinished basements, leaving a large portion of the home waiting to be completed. Remodelaholic can help you finish that space so your entire home is ready for your family to use and enjoy.
Whether you are preparing to move into a new home or have already moved in, we can help plan and finish the basement to complement the rest of the house. That can include additional bedrooms, bathrooms, family rooms, home offices, storage, entertainment spaces, and custom finish details.
Whenever possible, planning the basement early can also make the construction process easier. We can help coordinate the layout, electrical, plumbing, lighting, flooring, cabinetry, and finishes so the basement feels like it was designed as part of the original home rather than added later.

Complete Basement Finishing Services
A successful basement remodel starts long before drywall goes up. Layout, mechanical systems, plumbing locations, ceiling heights, lighting, storage, and future use of the space all need to be considered before construction begins.
Our basement finishing and remodeling services can include:
- Basement design and space planning
- Framing
- Electrical and lighting
- Plumbing
- HVAC coordination
- Insulation
- Drywall
- Interior doors
- Baseboards and trim
- Custom finish carpentry
- Bathroom construction
- Tile showers and surrounds
- Flooring
- Painting
- Closets and storage
- Built-ins and shelving
- Family rooms and entertainment spaces
- Bedrooms and home offices
- Laundry rooms
- Wet bars and kitchenettes
- Permit and inspection coordination
Having a complete plan before construction begins helps reduce changes, delays, and unexpected costs during the project.
Basement Design + Build
One of the advantages of working with Remodelaholic is our design + build approach.
Instead of designing the basement separately and then trying to figure out how to build it, we look at design and construction together.
During the planning phase, we can evaluate:
- Room layout
- Existing plumbing locations
- HVAC and ductwork
- Ceiling heights
- Window and egress requirements
- Electrical and lighting locations
- Bathroom placement
- Storage needs
- Doors and traffic flow
- Finish materials
- Construction budget
These decisions can have a significant impact on both the finished space and the cost of construction.
Our goal is to identify potential problems during planning rather than discovering them halfway through construction.
Basement Bathrooms
Adding or remodeling a bathroom is one of the most common parts of a basement finishing project.
Depending on the existing conditions, a basement bathroom may require plumbing modifications, concrete excavation, shower or tub installation, waterproofing, tile, ventilation, electrical work, cabinetry, countertops, and finish plumbing.
We coordinate these different trades so the bathroom works with the overall basement construction schedule.
Basement bathrooms can include:
- Walk-in showers
- Tub/shower combinations
- Custom tile
- Vanities and countertops
- Powered mirrors
- Bathroom ventilation
- Recessed lighting
- Storage niches
- Linen storage
Bedrooms, Family Rooms & Flexible Living Spaces
A basement can add a significant amount of usable living space without changing the footprint of your home.
We can help design and build:
Basement Bedrooms
Create additional bedrooms with proper closets, lighting, electrical, and code-compliant egress where required.
Family Rooms
Turn an unfinished basement into a comfortable gathering space for movies, games, entertaining, or everyday family life.
Home Offices
Create a dedicated work-from-home space away from the main living areas.
Exercise & Recreation Rooms
Basements can provide excellent space for home gyms, playrooms, game rooms, and other flexible uses.
Storage
Good basement planning doesn’t eliminate storage. We look for opportunities to incorporate closets, mechanical-room storage, built-ins, and other organized storage areas into the design.
Custom Basement Finish Carpentry
Finish carpentry can make a basement feel much more intentional and custom.
Depending on the project, Remodelaholic can incorporate features such as:
- Built-in shelving
- Entertainment centers
- Accent walls
- Custom closets
- Mudroom-style storage
- Wall treatments
- Custom bunk beds
- Trim details
- Decorative carpentry
These details can transform a basic finished basement into a space that feels connected to the rest of the home.
Our Basement Remodeling Process
1. Consultation
We start by looking at your existing basement and talking about how you’d like to use the space.
2. Layout & Design
We develop the layout and identify important construction considerations before work begins.
3. Scope & Estimate
Once the design and project requirements are established, we develop a construction scope and estimate.
4. Permitting & Pre-Construction
When permits are required, plans are submitted and the project is prepared for construction.
5. Construction
Construction typically progresses through demolition when necessary, framing, rough plumbing, HVAC, electrical, inspections, insulation, drywall, trim, tile, flooring, cabinetry, painting, and finish work.
6. Project Completion
We complete final details and walk through the finished basement with the homeowner.
How Much Does It Cost to Finish a Basement in Utah County?
The cost of finishing a basement can vary considerably depending on the size of the basement and the scope of work.
Some of the biggest factors affecting basement remodeling cost include:
- Basement square footage
- Number of bedrooms
- Number of bathrooms
- Plumbing locations
- Electrical requirements
- HVAC modifications
- Ceiling conditions
- Flooring selections
- Tile and bathroom finishes
- Cabinetry and built-ins
- Finish carpentry
- Existing conditions
- Permit requirements
A relatively straightforward basement with bedrooms and a family room will have a very different construction budget than a basement containing multiple bathrooms, extensive custom carpentry, a wet bar, or major mechanical changes.
Rather than relying only on a price-per-square-foot number, we prefer to understand the actual scope of the project and develop a budget around what you’re trying to build.

Basement ADUs & Basement Apartments
Some homeowners want more than additional living space and are interested in converting their basement into an accessory dwelling unit or basement apartment.
ADU projects introduce additional considerations involving layout, kitchens, entrances, fire separation, parking, utilities, and local zoning and building requirements.
Because these projects have different requirements from a typical basement finish, we’ve created a separate resource specifically for homeowners considering this type of project.
