Basement Remodeling & Finishing | Southwest Denver

Most homes in Southwest Denver have a basement with untapped potential. A basement is a blank canvas that could become a guest suite, a home theater, a lively hangout for kids, or the calm retreat you’ve been missing upstairs. Grimes Home Concepts brings thoughtful design and meticulous craftsmanship to every basement renovation in Southwest Denver, creating spaces that feel intentionally connected to the rest of your home rather than an afterthought.

We offer basement remodeling services in Southwest Denver, CO, including Highlands Ranch, Littleton, Columbine Valley, and the surrounding neighborhoods. We deliver spaces that feel warm, purposeful, and tailored to how your family actually lives.

Our Basement Remodeling Process

1. Discover

Every basement project starts with understanding how you hope to live in this space. Maybe it’s unfinished and underused, or maybe it’s a dated layout that no longer fits your family’s needs. This conversation helps us uncover your priorities and the kind of transformation you’re after.

It’s an open, collaborative moment where possibilities come into focus and we begin guiding you toward a basement that feels intentional, comfortable, and truly connected to the rest of your home.

2. Consultation

Once we’re clear on how you want your basement to function, we develop a conceptual direction and establish a realistic budget range. Basements often involve unique considerations like moisture management, egress requirements, ceiling heights, and the added complexity of new plumbing or electrical runs, so this is where our design-build expertise really matters.

This step makes sure we’re aligned before diving into detailed design, reducing surprises and setting the stage for a smoother, more predictable remodeling experience.

3. Design-Build Agreement

This is your formal starting point with Grimes Home Concepts. This step secures your place in our production schedule and launches the detailed design phase, which is where your bathroom begins to take on real form.

This agreement provides clarity, so you’ll know how the design process unfolds, what to expect with selections and layout development, and how we move from ideas to build-ready plans.

Why Choose Grimes Home Concepts

Basements present both opportunity and complexity. They’re often the largest unfinished space in a home, and the one with the biggest potential to improve daily life and long-term value. Grimes Home Concepts approaches every basement the same way we approach a major kitchen or whole-home remodel: with design rigor, careful planning, and respect for how your home flows.

As leading basement contractors in Southwest Denver, our team handles the entire process from concept to completion, including:

Architectural layout and basement design
Moisture mitigation and structural considerations
Custom built-ins and specialty rooms (gyms, bars, theaters, offices)
Egress windows and code upgrades
Luxury finishes and curated material selections
Lighting, sound, and smart-home integrations
Permitting and inspections

If you’re seeking a fully finished basement in Southwest Denver or a complete transformation with bespoke details, our design-build approach makes sure every decision is thoughtful and cohesive.

The basement remodel cost in Southwest Denver can range from $70,000 to $180,000+, though smaller or larger basements fall outside this range. The price depends on finishes, the number of rooms, and whether the project includes plumbing-intensive spaces like bathrooms or wet bars.
Custom amenities like bars, theaters, bathrooms, and structural changes generally represent the highest cost. Plumbing and electrical upgrades, soundproofing, and moisture mitigation also influence the budget. Grimes Homes Concepts will always make sure you know where your budget is going so you can make the best decision for your lifestyle.
Most basements take 8 to 14 weeks, depending on size and complexity. A simple finish moves quickly, while a fully customized basement with multiple specialty rooms requires more design and coordination.
Yes. Any structural, electrical, plumbing, or egress work requires permits. Grimes Home Concepts manages all permitting and inspections to ensure the project meets current city and county codes.
We handle both. If your space is framed but untouched or still a blank concrete shell, we offer full basement finishing in Highlands Ranch, Littleton, and the Southwest Denver region. We also do complete remodels of previously finished basements. Our team designs from the ground up, meaning the layout, lighting, and overall flow feel intentional and connected to the rest of your home.
