Questions
Do I need a permit to finish a basement?
Yes, in almost every Northern Colorado town. We pull it and meet the inspector.
Can a basement room be a legal bedroom?
Only with an egress window that meets code and a closet. We add the window if you do not have one. See egress windows.
How long does it take?
Most basements take four to eight weeks on site, depending on the bathroom and inspections.
