Centennial, CO · Basement Finishing
Centennial homes come with big basements that were framed and left empty. We turn that space into a suite, a theater, a gym, or a family room, with egress, radon, and City of Centennial permits handled.

Tyler B. · whole-home remodelWhat we see in Centennial basements
Centennial was incorporated in 2001, but its houses came earlier, and they came with basements. At about 5,722 feet elevation, in neighborhoods like Willow Creek and Piney Creek near Cherry Creek, most 1970s to 1990s homes have a big lower level that was framed and left empty. Here is what that project really involves.
The typical Foxridge or Homestead basement is a large open box with a rough-in for a bath and not much else. That is a whole extra floor of house. We plan it as a suite, a theater, a gym, a wet bar, or a wide-open family room.
A basement bedroom needs its own egress window and usually a window well, so someone can get out in a fire. If yours does not have one, we cut the foundation opening and set the well. We size it to meet current code.
Radon is common across the south metro. Finishing the basement is the right time to install or rough in a mitigation system, so the room you just built is safe to spend time in. We suggest testing before and after.
Front Range clay soils swell when they get wet and can heave a slab. We frame with the right gap details and watch for old moisture so your new floor and walls are not fighting the ground under them.
Some low-lying lots near Cherry Creek and Big Dry Creek sit in a mapped floodplain that SEMSWA manages. We check the drainage and grading around the house first, so we are not finishing a basement that takes on water.
Finishing a basement adds walls, wiring, and often plumbing, so it pulls a permit under the city's Land Development Code (Chapter 12) and gets inspected. We handle the permit and the inspections from framing to final.
