Basement finishing in Orem

A local crew for Orem basements.

Orem calls itself Family City USA, and it earns the name. It is a big, settled suburb sitting under Mount Timpanogos, between Utah Lake and the mountains, just off I-15. Most of the city is already built out, so the homes here are mature mid-century houses, and a lot of them have a basement that was never finished.

That empty basement is the cheapest square footage you will ever add. It is already under your roof. We turn it into bedrooms, a family room, a guest suite, or an income apartment, and we do the whole thing under one roof: framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, drywall, paint, flooring, and finish work. You get one written price before we start, and Dakota runs the job from the first walkthrough to the final Orem inspection.

We know Orem

Orem permits, egress, and older homes.

Orem runs its own Building Safety Division, and a finished basement has to be done to code, or it can cost you when you sell or refinance. We take care of the city paperwork and the safety pieces so your basement is legal and built right.

Orem City permits

Orem takes building permits through its own online portal. We pull the permit and build to code, start to finish.

Egress windows & wells

Orem requires an egress window for each basement bedroom, at least 5.7 square feet with a window well. We install it right.

Mature Orem homes

Most of Orem was built decades ago. We are used to older framing and a basement that has sat unfinished for years.

Every Orem neighborhood

From Sharon and Northridge to the Cascade area near Provo Canyon and the homes up on the east bench, we work all over town.

Good questions

Orem basement finishing questions.

How much does it cost to finish a basement in Orem?
It depends on the size and what goes in it. A simple open rec room costs far less than an Orem basement with a bedroom, a full bathroom, and a wet bar. Dakota walks your 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 Orem?
Yes. Orem City requires a building permit for a basement finish, and the city runs its own Building Safety Division. We pull the permit through Orem's online portal, build to code, and meet the inspectors so every stage is signed off.
Does my Orem basement bedroom need an egress window?
Yes. Orem requires an egress window for every basement bedroom. The opening has to be at least 5.7 square feet with a window well, so the room is a legal, safe place to sleep. We handle the window, the well, the permit, and the inspection.
Can you finish a basement in an older Orem home?
Yes, that is a lot of what we do in Orem. Many Orem homes were built decades ago and have a cold, unfinished basement that is perfect to turn into real living space. We are used to older framing and bringing a home up to current code.
How long does a basement finish take in Orem?
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.
Does Lynnwood Construction finish basements in Orem?
Yes. We are based in Spanish Fork and Orem is a short drive up I-15. Basement finishing is our specialty, and Orem is one of the cities we work in every year.
