What Utah Homeowners Are Saying
Our clients love their new spaces — and we’re proud to be part of their stories. See why homeowners across Salt Lake City trust Basements Etc for quality craftsmanship, honest communication, and lasting results.
They understand that this is YOUR house they are dealing with and take into account all
preferences with *security* of the home during construction, *communication* while the project is ongoing, and any other input you have. I’m definitely more “hands on and perfectionist mindset”. They did a great job keeping me up to speed and happy.
Yes, some things had to be “fixed” during construction, but show me a project where that doesn’t have to happen. The fact of the matter is when there were preferential things to fix, they got it done, and quickly!
We also made lots of changes to the project as it went along and these guys did a great job to meet our preferences and needs as we threw curveballs at them.
Special shout-out to Tyler and Chase for a job well done. Thank you!
Would definitely use again if we have another basement build out project in the future.
Great customer service!

- FAQ
Have Questions? We’ve Got Answers.
How much does it cost to finish a basement in Salt Lake City?
The cost to finish a basement is the hardest question to give a quick answer to: We realize this is literally the most asked and most important question, but it is impossible to give a simple answer without personally seeing your project. We offer a free in home walk through and measure so we can give you a realistic and accurate price. Pricing varies dramatically pending the total finished square footage, ceiling heights, paint options, size of baseboards, flooring options, plumbing and lighting finishes. Added features like a kitchen or wet bar, home theater, fireplace, wellness room or a shower vs. a tub in a bathroom all affect pricing. We are committed to providing the best pricing available and even offer a service to compare other bids. But, there are so many options that affect price, it is impossible to give someone a sq.ft. price without verifying certain details. After our on site visit, we provide detailed estimates including allowances and itemized potential options giving you choices to fit your families needs and budget.
