How to read the scorecard

Each rating is the business’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated it, set against the other basement contractors here. Confidence weighs rating by volume, so a high score from many customers carries more weight than the same score from a few. Recency shows how recently people are still reviewing. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What a Denver basement renovation costs (2026)

Basement pricing depends on square footage, the number of rooms and bathrooms, wet bars or kitchenettes, egress windows and how much framing, plumbing and electrical is already in place. An ElkStone Basements reviewer described new perimeter framing, storage closets and a wet bar, while an FBC Remodel customer finished a 1,600 square foot space with custom requests. The spread is too wide for one honest price table, so request an itemized written quote.

What to ask before hiring a basement contractor

  • Does the quote include permits, inspections and an egress window if one is needed?
  • Who coordinates framing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC and finishes, and is there one point of contact?
  • How will I follow the schedule, and how are change orders approved?
  • How is moisture checked before the walls go up?
  • What does the warranty cover after the final walkthrough?
