Basement finishing in Highland

The room you are not using yet.

A finished basement is the cheapest square footage you will ever add, and it is already under your roof. In Highland, that space is often bigger than what you find in other Utah County cities, since the town was built on large lots from the start.

In neighborhoods like Skye Estates, The Hollows, and Hawks Landing, we finish basements with room for a bedroom suite, a home theater, a gym, and a wet bar, all in one project. We do it all under one roof: framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, drywall, paint, flooring, trim, and finish work matched to a custom home.

You get one written price before we start, and Dakota runs the job from the first walkthrough to the final inspection.

Built for Highland

Highland permits, egress, and HOAs, handled.

Highland City runs its own Building Division, and a finished basement has to be done to code. We take care of the city paperwork and the safety pieces so your basement is legal and built right.

Highland Building Division

Highland requires a permit to finish a basement or do framing, electrical, or plumbing. We pull it and build to current code.

Egress windows & deeper wells

Every basement bedroom we build gets a code egress window, sized right for a deeper Highland foundation.

HOA-friendly window wells

If a window well changes your yard, we check any HOA rules with you before we dig.

Custom-home finish quality

Highland basements sit under custom homes. We match trim, paint, and finish quality to the rest of your house.

Good questions

Highland basement finishing questions.

How much does it cost to finish a basement in Highland?
It depends on the size and what goes in it. Highland's custom homes often have bigger basements than average, so a full layout with a bedroom, a bathroom, and a wet bar costs more than a simple open rec room. Dakota walks your Highland basement and gives you one honest price in writing before any work starts.
Do I need a permit to finish a basement in Highland?
Yes. Highland City requires a building permit to finish a basement, including framing, electrical, and plumbing work. We pull the permit through the Highland Building Division, build to current code, and handle the inspections for you.
Does my Highland basement bedroom need an egress window?
Yes. Any basement bedroom in Highland needs a code egress window and well so it is a legal, safe place to sleep. Highland's deeper custom-home foundations sometimes need a taller window well, and we size it right and handle the permit and inspection.
Does my Highland HOA need to approve a basement finish?
Basement work is inside the home, so most Highland HOAs do not weigh in on it the way they might on an addition or an exterior change. If your egress window well needs to change your yard, we will check your HOA rules with you first.
What can I build in a large Highland basement?
A lot. Highland's basements tend to run bigger than average, so we build bedrooms, a full bath, a wet bar or kitchenette, a home theater, a gym, and a big family room, often all in the same basement.
How long does a basement finish take in Highland?
Most finished basements take a few weeks once we start, though a larger Highland basement with more rooms can run longer. Dakota gives you a clear timeline up front and keeps you updated the whole way.
