Cherry Hills Village, CO · Basement Finishing
The big walkout basements on Cherry Hills Village estates are built for wine rooms, theaters, golf simulators, gyms, and guest suites. We finish them right, with real egress, radon planning, and moisture control so the lower level lasts.
"Josh remodeled my entire house, top to bottom. His team made sure I was informed and satisfied every step of the way. His quotes were fair and honest, and his work was beyond satisfactory."

Cherry Hills Village homes sit on large lots, and many are newer custom builds with tall walkout basements. That space becomes the fun part of the house, but only if the egress, radon, drainage, and permits are handled. Cherry Hills Village was incorporated in 1945, sits at an elevation of about 5,423 feet, and its large-lot zoning runs from R-3 one-acre lots to R-1 estates, with floodplain areas mapped along Little Dry Creek. Here is what usually comes up.
The walkouts here are big enough for a real wine room, a home theater, a golf simulator, or all three. Each one has its own needs: cooling and insulation for wine, wiring and sound isolation for a theater, and ceiling height and space for a sim. We plan them from the framing out.
A basement room used as a bedroom needs a code egress window and well. Guest suites and in-law setups are a common ask on these estates. We cut the opening, set the window and well, and get it inspected so it is a legal bedroom, not just finished square footage.
Radon is common across the Front Range. We plan for testing and a mitigation system where the numbers call for it, so the new lower level is safe to spend real time in.
A finished basement is only worth it if it stays dry. We handle drainage and moisture control under and around the slab before we frame, so the wine room and the theater are not at risk down the road.
A basement bar, a bath, or a second kitchen adds plumbing. On the many Cherry Hills Village homes that are on septic rather than the sanitation district, that added load matters, so we confirm capacity before we add fixtures.
Finishing a basement adds framing, electrical, and often plumbing and mechanical, so it goes through the City of Cherry Hills Village Building Division, with a separate electrical permit. You apply on the city online portal, where first-time accounts wait for approval. If the project adds a lot of impervious area, a drainage plan may be required. We file it and schedule inspections. Confirm current fees with the city.
