What we see in Greenwood Village basements

Big basements, done to code.

Greenwood Village homes sit on big lots, from one-acre R-1.0 streets to R-2.5 estates, and the basements are large, often walkout. The Village was incorporated in 1950 and sits at about 5,466 feet elevation. A basement finish is permit work here, and homes near the High Line Canal or Little Dry Creek can sit near a floodplain, so we plan drainage first. Here is what usually comes up.

Theaters, gyms, and wine rooms

On these large custom homes the walkout basement often becomes a home theater, a golf simulator, a wine room, a gym, or a guest suite with its own bath and wet bar. We plan the wiring, the low-voltage, and the plumbing for whatever the room is going to be, before framing starts.

A legal bedroom needs an egress window

A basement sleeping room needs its own emergency escape and rescue opening. That usually means cutting an egress window and a window well into the foundation. We size the opening and the well to meet the current code and get it inspected.

Radon on the Front Range

Radon is common across the Denver metro, so we plan for a mitigation system when the test calls for one and rough it in while the slab and walls are open. It is far cheaper to build it in now than to add it later.

Drainage near the canal and creek

Lots close to the High Line Canal or Little Dry Creek can sit near a mapped floodplain. We check the drainage, the grading, and any sump before we frame and insulate, so you are not finishing a space that takes on water.

Expansive clay under the slab

Front Range soils are often expansive clay that moves with moisture. We frame basement walls to allow for slab movement and confirm the details with a soils report when the job calls for it, so drywall does not crack a year in.

The permit and the Village portal

Greenwood Village lists a basement finish as permit work through Community Development. You apply through the city Online Access Portal, a plan review is scheduled, and framing, electrical, and plumbing are inspected. We handle it. Confirm current fees with the city.

Greenwood Village basement questions

What homeowners ask us.

Do I need a permit to finish a basement in Greenwood Village?
Yes. The City of Greenwood Village lists a basement finish as permit work. You apply through the Online Access Portal with Community Development, a plan review is scheduled, and the framing, electrical, and plumbing are inspected. We handle the paperwork and the inspections. Confirm current fees with the city.
Can I add a legal bedroom in the basement?
Yes, and it is a common ask. A basement sleeping room needs its own emergency escape and rescue opening, which usually means an egress window and a window well cut into the foundation. We size the window and the well to meet the current code and get it inspected.
What about radon and drainage?
Radon is common across the Front Range, so we plan for a mitigation system when the level calls for one. On lots near the High Line Canal or Little Dry Creek, a basement can sit near a floodplain, so we look at drainage and any sump before we frame and insulate over the slab.
What do people finish these big basements into?
On the large custom homes here, the walkout basement often becomes a home theater, a wine room, a golf simulator, a gym, or a guest suite with its own bath and wet bar. We plan the wiring, low-voltage, and plumbing for whatever the room is going to be.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. JAC Enterprise is licensed and insured. License and insurance details come with your written estimate.
