Basement Finishing in Ogden, Utah
4.9 ★ · 78 Google Reviews
Ogden gives you more house for the money than almost anywhere on the Wasatch Front — and usually an unfinished basement to go with it. From East Bench brick homes with sturdy mid-century foundations to newer construction in Harrisville and North Ogden, we finish basements across all of Weber County. We're a drywall company that grew into full basement finishing, which means the part of the job most contractors subcontract out — hanging, taping, texture — is done in-house by the crew that does it every day. That's why our finished basements read like original construction instead of a conversion.
What Ogden basements need
East Bench and Mount Ogden homes from the 1950s–70s often have solid, dry basements with older mechanicals in awkward spots — we design around the furnace and water heater or coordinate relocating them. Homes near downtown and in South Ogden sometimes carry old water intrusion history, so we check the foundation and grade before framing and fix the cause, not just cover it. In Shadow Valley and newer North Ogden subdivisions the basements are straightforward: full-height, roughed plumbing, ready for a two-bedroom-and-bath layout. We also add egress windows to older homes where basement bedrooms were built before modern code — a common Ogden resale blocker we can clear.
One crew, start to finish
We frame, insulate, hang, tape, texture, paint, and trim with our own people, and we coordinate licensed electricians and plumbers under our schedule. Weber County homeowners tell us the same story about other bids: three subcontractors, three schedules, three excuses. You get one contract, one timeline, and one number to call — and we show up when we say we will.
Ogden basement finishing cost
Turn-key Ogden basement finishes run $35–$55 per square foot. Because Ogden homes tend to have slightly smaller footprints than south Davis County builds, total project costs are often lower: an 800 sqft finish with a bedroom, egress window, and three-quarter bath commonly lands between $30,000 and $42,000. Open rec rooms without a bath can come in under $25,000. Egress windows, bathrooms, and wet bars are the biggest line items. Written, itemized estimates are free.
What Ogden-Area Clients Say
Rated 4.9 stars across 78 Google reviews.
"I had a strict deadline for finishing my basement and needed help with touching up our handy drywall work and texturing. They came out fast, the price was reasonable, and the finished walls blended right in with the rest of the house."
"These guys treat their clients like family. They started the job and stuck with it until completion — which in today's standard is not the norm. They did an excellent job. No doubt a 5-star service."
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to finish a basement in Ogden?
Turn-key finishes run $35–$55 per square foot. A typical 800 sqft Ogden basement with a bedroom, egress window, and bath lands between $30,000 and $42,000; simple rec rooms can come in under $25,000.
Can you add an egress window to my older Ogden home?
Yes. Many East Bench and South Ogden homes have basement bedrooms built before modern egress code. We saw-cut the foundation, install the window and well, and bring the room up to code — a big win at resale.
My Ogden basement had water once — can it still be finished?
Yes, but the cause gets fixed first. We evaluate the foundation and drainage, address the source, and install proper vapor management before framing. We won't finish over a wet problem.
How long does an Ogden basement finish take?
Most projects take 4–8 weeks depending on size and whether we're adding a bathroom or egress windows. We run our own drywall crew, so there's no waiting between trades.
Do you serve all of Weber County?
Yes — Ogden, South Ogden, North Ogden, Harrisville, Riverdale, and the Ogden Valley. Free on-site estimates, usually within a few days of your call.
