Basement finishing in American Fork

The room you are not using yet.

A finished basement is the cheapest square footage you will ever add. It is already under your roof. In American Fork that empty basement is everywhere, because so many of the newer subdivisions that filled in the old farmland out toward I-15 and up near the mouth of American Fork Canyon came with a big, bare basement.

We turn that cold space into bedrooms, a family room, a guest suite, a theater, or an income apartment, and we do the whole thing: framing, wiring, plumbing, HVAC, drywall, paint, flooring, trim, and finish work. You get one written price before we start, and Dakota runs the job from the first walkthrough to the final inspection.

Built for American Fork

Permits, egress, and local homes, handled for you.

American Fork runs its own building department, so your basement permit and inspections go through the city. We know how that works and take care of it for you, on the newer homes out by the freeway and the older homes near Main Street alike.

American Fork City permit

We pull the permit with the American Fork building department and build to current code, start to finish.

Egress windows & wells

Every basement bedroom gets a code egress window and well. We add them to older homes that never had one.

Newer subdivision basements

Homes near I-15 and up by the canyon often came with a big unfinished basement. We turn it into real living space.

Passed inspections

We schedule and meet the inspectors, so every stage is signed off and your basement counts as real square footage.

Good questions

American Fork basement finishing questions.

How much does it cost to finish a basement in American Fork?
It depends on the size and what goes in it. A basic open rec room costs far less than a basement with a bedroom, a full bathroom, and a wet bar. Dakota walks your American Fork basement and gives you one honest price in writing before any work starts, so you know the real number up front.
Do I need a permit to finish my basement in American Fork?
Yes. American Fork runs its own building department, and a finished basement needs a building permit and inspections. We pull the permit with the city, build to code, and meet the inspectors for you, so you do not have to chase the paperwork.
Does my American Fork basement bedroom need an egress window?
Yes. Any basement bedroom needs a code egress window so it is a safe, legal place to sleep. We handle the window, the window well, the permit, and the inspection. Many older homes near downtown American Fork were built before this was required, so we add egress when we finish those basements.
How long does a basement finish take in American Fork?
Most finished basements take a few weeks once we start, depending on the size and whether we add a bathroom or wet bar. Dakota gives you a clear timeline up front and keeps you updated the whole way.
Do you finish basements in older downtown homes and newer subdivisions?
Yes. We finish basements in the newer subdivisions out toward I-15 and up near the canyon, where homes often came with a big bare basement. We also add egress and finish basements in the older homes near Main Street and the historic district that never had a real finished space downstairs.
How far is American Fork from your shop in Spanish Fork?
American Fork is a straight shot up I-15 from Spanish Fork, about 25 minutes. We finish basements all over Utah County, so we are in American Fork and the north county often. Travel does not change your price.
