Basement finishing in Orem
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 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 takes building permits through its own online portal. We pull the permit and build to code, start to finish.
Orem requires an egress window for each basement bedroom, at least 5.7 square feet with a window well. We install it right.
Most of Orem was built decades ago. We are used to older framing and a basement that has sat unfinished for years.
From Sharon and Northridge to the Cascade area near Provo Canyon and the homes up on the east bench, we work all over town.
"After a flood in our basement, they completely transformed the space. Dakota coordinated everything and made the process so smooth. Their pricing was honest and fair, no surprises, just great work at a reasonable cost."
Misty Gallegos · Basement after floodHow it works
Dakota walks your Orem basement, talks through the layout, and gives you one honest price in writing.
We lock the layout, help you pick finishes, and pull the Orem City permit.
Framing through finish work, on schedule, site kept clean, and you updated the whole way.
Final inspection, a walkthrough with you, and we stand behind the work.
"They did a great job finishing our basement on time and with the best quality. Reasonable price."
