Broomfield, CO · Basement Finishing
Most Broomfield homes were sold with a big unfinished basement. We turn that empty space into a suite, a theater, or a family room, built to float over the expansive soils the way Broomfield requires.

Tyler B. · whole-home remodelWhat we see in Broomfield basements
Broomfield filled in mostly from the 1990s through the 2010s, and builders in Anthem, The Broadlands, and McKay Landing left almost every basement unfinished. Finishing it is the most common remodel in town. At 5,348 feet elevation on Front Range expansive clay soils, near Big Dry Creek, the way a Broomfield basement is built matters as much as how it looks. Here is what we plan for.
Newer Broomfield homes came with a full unfinished basement under the whole footprint. We turn it into a legal bedroom suite, a theater, a gym, a wet bar, or a family room, on one plan and one crew.
Broomfield sits on expansive clay that heaves when it gets wet. The city requires finished basement walls to float above the slab on a gap, or void, so the concrete can move without cracking your finish. Your site soils report sets the exact void, often two to three inches or more.
Any basement bedroom needs its own emergency escape (egress) window and usually a window well. We size and cut the opening to meet current code and waterproof the well so it drains.
Radon is common in Front Range soils, so a lot of Broomfield homeowners add or check mitigation when they finish the basement. We plan for it while the space is open.
For a lower-level finish near Big Dry Creek, we check the Broomfield floodplain map for your address and handle slab moisture before any flooring goes down, so the finish lasts.
A basement finish pulls a permit with the City and County of Broomfield Building Division and uses their basement finish questionnaire. We handle the application, the soils detail, and the inspections. Confirm current fees with the city.
