What does it cost to finish a Denver basement?

Basement Finishing Denver - Cost

Asking “how much will it cost?” may be one of the first questions when considering the exciting new level of your Denver home. “How much?” has many answers. If you have been to a Denver home show lately, you already know how many companies could do your new Denver basement, but asking them all takes you effort and time. Here’s a quick but reasonable way you can calculate the cost of your Denver basement.

 

Getting the bottom line.

Together let’s determine the approximate cost of your basement finishing in Denver:

  • What is the square footage of your new Denver basement going to be? For most this number will be approximately half of your upper levels (for a two story home). Basement square footage for a ranch will be closer to the same square footage as your home’s main level (calculate about 85 – 90%). For a tri-level basement finish let’s calculate a third of your homes square footage. Make a note of your calculated number and we’ll use it in a moment.
  • You will need to decide between a “high spec” finished Denver basement, an “intermediate” finished Denver basement, or a “simple” finished Denver basement . Taking your basement to drywall finish can be a savings for those who are comfortable completing the project. If this describess you, take our numbers and cut them by something like 40 – 60% (depending on complexity of design). This part can have a wide variety of costs, so we will take the “intermediate” cost as our basis for this Denver basement finishing cost article.
  • Quality of your Denver basement finish will be a major role in our calculations. For this, you can decide if you prefer to use better products, or less costly ones for your Denver basement. This plays a lesser part of the final calculation, than the first two elements. But keep in mind, this is what will really define the style of your new Denver basement finish. Having quality finishes will help create a signature basement look, that could only be yours.

Here’s where the fun starts. We offer this example of basement finishing cost to help guide your path, rather than attempting to lay a path for you. You judge by the priorities you have. We will help make those priorities a reality when you are ready.

Part one; Take the square footage number form your earlier calculation: Multiply that by (good at the time of writing this article) $25.00. Lets say your basement is 1,500 square feet, your total cost so far is $37,500.00.

Part two; Using a scale from a moderately complex design, to a highly planned and involved design, we will take the center point to make our next calculation. Multiply the base cost so far, by (good at the time of writing this article) 1.3. For our example, your total cost so far will be around $48,750.00

Part three; This portion of the calculation is a little more subjective as we have already allowed some finish in the part two calculation. However for our example we will make this a well detailed and high end finished basement. Here we take the total from part two and multiply that cost, between 1.5 and 2 times making the total cost of a beautifully finished new level of your home around $75,000.00

Example complete. From here you can see that there could be a wide range to the final cost, but this will help you know how you want to budget for your basement.
