Beautifully finished basement living space with warm lighting and modern design

Basement Finishing

Turn unused square footage into your favorite room in the house.

You have a basement. Right now it might be raw concrete, exposed framing, maybe some storage boxes and a water heater. But it is also hundreds of square feet of livable space — the kind of space that most homeowners would pay a fortune to add on to their house. Except you already have it. It just needs to be finished.

We are a full-service general contractor in St. George, and basement finishing is one of the most practical, high-value projects a homeowner can take on. You get new living space without changing your home's footprint, without a foundation pour, and without months of exterior construction.

What we bring to basement projects

We handle everything in-house. Framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall, flooring, tile, paint, and trim — all under one crew with one point of contact. You do not need to coordinate separate trades yourself.

We know the code. Basement bedrooms in Utah require egress windows of a specific size. Bathrooms need proper drainage and ventilation. Electrical requires dedicated circuits. We handle all of this — including permits and inspections — so you do not have to worry about it.

We are honest about what makes sense. Not every basement needs to become a five-room suite. Sometimes the best use of the space is one really well-done room. We will help you figure out the right scope for your goals and your budget.

A note about foundations

We finish and remodel basements. We do not do foundation repair, structural work, or major waterproofing. If your basement has foundation issues, we will tell you — and we will recommend a specialist who can help. Once the structure is solid, that is where we come in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most basement finishing projects take 4-8 weeks depending on size and scope. A single room might be closer to 3-4 weeks. A full basement with bedroom, bathroom, and living area runs 6-10 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline before we start.

Yes. Finishing a basement requires building permits in Washington County, especially when adding bedrooms (egress requirements), bathrooms (plumbing), or any electrical work. As a licensed general contractor, we pull and manage all permits for you.

A basic finish with drywall, flooring, and paint typically starts around $25-$35 per square foot. Adding a bathroom, bedroom with egress, or entertainment features increases the scope. We provide a free, detailed estimate — no guesswork, no surprises.

No. We specialize in finishing and remodeling basements that are already structurally sound. If your basement needs foundation work or major waterproofing, we can recommend specialists in the area. Once the structure is solid, we will make it beautiful.

Absolutely. Below-grade bathrooms are one of our specialties. We handle the rough-in plumbing, drainage, tile work, and fixture installation. If you have an existing rough-in, even better — that saves significant time and cost.
