Basement finishing in Santaquin

The room your Santaquin home is not using yet.

Santaquin sits at the south end of Utah County, around 4,900 feet, an old cherry-orchard town best known for Santaquin Orchard Days every summer. Most of the newer homes filling in the benches and foothills above town have a big, open, unfinished basement. That empty basement is the cheapest square footage you will ever add, because it is already under your roof.

We turn that cold space into bedrooms, a family room, a guest suite, or an income apartment. We do the whole thing: framing, wiring, plumbing, drywall, paint, flooring, and trim. Basement finishing is what we are known for, and most of our 5.0-star reviews are basement jobs. You get one written price before we start, and Dakota runs the job from the first walkthrough to the final inspection.

We know the Santaquin rules

Santaquin permits, soil, and the homes here.

A finished basement has to be done to code, or it can cost you when you sell or refinance. Expansive, collapsible soils are common on the benches above Santaquin, and many homes there sit on wells or secondary, pressurized irrigation rather than only culinary water. We plan drainage and waterproofing around both before we frame, and take care of the paperwork with Santaquin City so your basement is legal and stays dry.

Santaquin City permits

We apply for the permit through Santaquin City and build to current code, start to finish.

Egress windows & wells

Every basement bedroom gets a proper egress window and well so it is safe and legal in Santaquin.

Bench soils, planned for

Expansive, collapsible soils on the benches above town get checked before we dig, so the foundation stays solid.

Original homes & bench builds

We know the older homes near Main Street and the fast-growing newer builds on the benches above town.

Good questions

Santaquin basement finishing questions.

How much does it cost to finish a basement in Santaquin?
It depends on the size of your basement 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 Santaquin 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 Santaquin?
Yes. A basement finish needs a building permit from Santaquin City, and the work gets inspected before it is covered up. We apply for the permit, build to code, and meet the inspectors for you. Santaquin City asks for inspection requests a day ahead, and we handle that scheduling.
Does my Santaquin basement bedroom need an egress window?
Yes. Any basement bedroom needs an egress window so it is a safe, legal place to sleep. We install the window, the window well, and handle the permit and the inspection with Santaquin City.
Do you finish basements in the newer Santaquin subdivisions on the benches?
Yes. Newer Santaquin neighborhoods on the benches and foothills above town almost always have an open, unfinished basement. That is the cheapest space you can add, and finishing it is what we are known for.
Does Santaquin's soil affect basement work?
It can. Expansive, collapsible soils are common on the benches above Santaquin, and many homes there also sit on wells or secondary irrigation water rather than only culinary water. We plan drainage, waterproofing, and grading around both before any framing starts, so your finished basement stays dry.
How far is Santaquin for you to drive?
Santaquin is an easy trip for us. We are based in Spanish Fork, a short hop down I-15 through Payson, and we finish basements all over the south end of Utah County. We are likely already on a job near you.
