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.

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.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

  • 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.

Katie W.

"Highly recommend Casey and his team. They recently built us a mudroom to connect our house and garage, and not to sound dramatic, but it’s changed our lives. It’s been the greatest addition to our family’s home, albeit a small space. Casey was so helpful from conception through completion - helping us realize a vision that I wasn’t sure even made sense. He is detail-oriented, patient, and hard-working. His contractors are all top-notch and communicated well throughout the project. They are tidy, stayed on schedule, and worked within our budget. We are already discussing future projects with Grimes Home Concepts!"

J. Lowry

"It was a real pleasure working with Grimes Home Concepts (GHC) for my ‘kitchen remodel, plus more’. Casey and Patrick and all of their subs were thoughtful, responsive, and reassuringly thorough. Needless to say I’m thrilled to have a new beautiful space so central to my home. And GHC’s focus on good communication and professionalism made the whole project run amazingly smoothly and on time. I would certainly use Grimes Home Concepts again."

Matthew B.

"Casey and his project manager, Pat did an amazing job with our first floor home remodel. From help with planning, to pre-construction, demo, and all the phases of the remodel they were extremely helpful with lots of communication and frequent in person visits. The contractors they use were all very friendly and efficient. If you have a home remodel project, I highly recommend connecting with Grimes Home Concepts."

Brian B.

"From the moment we met Casey and his trades people, we knew he was the contractor for our basement remodel. Very professional with his contract, stayed on payment schedule and was always transparent. Showed up every day and kept in touch with us throughout the project, WHICH completed about 10 days ahead of our scheduled date! Always available to answer questions, from his project manager to the designer, we were provided with quality work. We will definitely use Grimes Home Concepts for future work and would highly recommend!Photos before of the dated basement bathroom, living room and now new kitchen"

From kitchens to basements and everything in-between, they take tired spaces and turn them into something you actually want to live in. Their process? Clean. Professional. Reliable. They keep you in the loop, hit the schedules, and deliver on their promises. If you want remodeled space that’s beautiful and well-managed, this is the team. Highly recommend."

Ashley B.

"We are so incredibly thrilled with our kitchen remodel by Grimes Home Concepts. Casey and Libby met with us and our designer, Christine at HouseHome, multiple times prior to starting the project. They were detailed and organized from the beginning and unlike many other contractors, their timeline was spot on. The entire project took 2.5 months and they were at our home every day ensuring that everything went as planned. The subcontractors they utilize are extremely professional and their level of quality is impeccable. They were also extremely clean and considerate of our space. I highly recommend Casey and his team for any remodeling needs."
