Basement Finishing and Remodeling in Englewood, CO

LTA Construct finishes and remodels basements across Englewood and the south Denver metro, including framing, egress windows, bathrooms, wet bars, built-in storage and finish carpentry. A typical basement finish takes six to ten weeks depending on size and whether a bathroom is added.

A finished basement is the cheapest square footage you will ever add to a house. Done well, it does not feel like a basement. That comes down to ceiling height decisions, lighting, and trim and built-ins that match the upstairs.

One client hired Luke for a full basement remodel and a custom deck and came back for more. Her review calls the work “impeccable every time.” The built-in wine racking and slat walls in the projects section are basement work.

What’s included

  • Framing, insulation and drywall
  • Egress windows and window wells
  • Basement bathrooms and wet bars
  • Electrical, lighting and HVAC coordination
  • Built-in shelving, media walls and storage
  • Wine rooms and slat-wall partitions
  • Flooring, doors and trim
  • Permits and inspections

How long it takes

Partial finish, one room: 3 to 4 weeks. Full basement without bathroom: 5 to 7 weeks. Full basement with bathroom and egress: 7 to 10 weeks.

Timelines are typical for the south Denver metro and depend on material lead times. No prices are listed on this site because every project is different; the cost and timeline guide explains what moves the number.

Questions people ask

Do I need an egress window?

If the basement will have a bedroom, yes, by code. Luke will tell you where it can go and what the well and excavation involve.

Can you add a bathroom where there is no plumbing?

Usually. It depends on where the main drain runs and the slab. Options range from a conventional rough-in to an up-flush system. This is decided at the walkthrough.

How do you handle low ceilings?

Recessed lighting, careful duct routing and paint choices do most of the work. Where there is a beam or duct that cannot move, it gets boxed and trimmed so it looks intentional.

Will it be permitted?

Yes. Basement finishes are permitted and inspected in every metro jurisdiction. It protects you when you sell.
