We do basement finishing in The Highlands, Denver. From 1970s split-levels to bungalow pop-tops — we've done dozens.

For basement finishing specifically here, the variables that matter most are different than they are across town: The Highlands's housing stock, the neighborhood's typical lot lines and easements, the inspectors at the City and County of Denver who know this part of town, and the historic-overlay rules where they apply. We have worked through all of it. We know the surprises behind walls in The Highlands and have a tight bench of trades who know it too.

Whether your project is a refresh, a structural change, or a full reimagining, you get the same fixed-price, fixed-schedule, weekly-walkthrough process — calibrated for the homes that line your block.

What's included

Design coordination, permitting with the City and County of Denver, demo, structural work where required, all trades, finish carpentry, painting, punch list, and a one-year written warranty. See the full service page →

How long does it take?

Most basement finishing projects in The Highlands run 6–12 weeks. We commit to a fixed end date in writing, with weekly walkthroughs and same-day response to questions throughout the build. See the full warranty →

FAQ

Common The Highlands questions.

How long does it take to finish a basement? +
6–12 weeks depending on size and whether we are adding bathrooms or egress.
Do we need egress windows? +
Yes — required for any sleeping room. We cut, install, and pass inspection.
What about waterproofing? +
We start with a moisture assessment. Any active water issues are addressed before framing — non-negotiable.
Can you add a kitchenette or full bath? +
Yes — both. Plumbing rough-ins are easier in unfinished basements, so this is a great time to add a full kitchen or in-law suite.
