Denver Basement Finishing

Older Denver homes are unique when it comes to basement finishing.

We take the Scary Out of older home basement finishing!

Most Denver residents have enjoyed increasing home values over the last few years, and with that increase, there has been a greater demand for adding usable space. In many cases, homeowners love the area and house they are in but need larger family spaces The thought of moving into a more expensive home in Denver, or to a subdivision in the suburbs just doesn't work.

When considering finishing or remodeling your basement in an older Denver home here are some of the unique features and conditions that change the building prices and budget compared to a new home.

• Testing for asbestos and lead.
• Upgrading the electric and plumbing to code
• Ceiling height requirements of 7 feet minimum
• Adding egress windows
• Access to the work site
• Structural engineering may be needed.
• Stairway reconfiguration

There’s no hard rule for the additional cost associated with basement finishing in older homes because every basement is unique, but in general, you can add $8,000 to $20,000 in additional expenses to the cost you might see using our basement cost estimator.

More important in some ways is the fact that you should select a basement company that has experience in these type basements.
