FAQ’s
Why is there no charge for an estimate?
Our proposal is complimentary and includes initial consultation, design ideas and a written description and project investment. We offer a bid package that includes sewage scope, radon test and air quality testing for a small investment and is recommended whether you do the project yourself, employ basement finishing Denver 4 u or use another contractor. Ask us about the benefits and cost.
What does it Cost?
We have a variety of packages and finishes to mix and match and to choose from. Most basement finish projects begin with the “guts” and are all basically the same. The finish selections i.e. carpeting, hard wood, tile, trim and door, fixtures, etc. is what will dictate most of the fluctuation in cost. The most basic basement finish will cost around $28.00 per square foot. with that said, other than a kitchen area installation the new bathroom is typically the most expensive per a square foot and of course will add to the cost but also the value of your new basement. Along with the fixture, finishes, appliances, etc. as mentioned above.
Is the estimated price guaranteed?
YES. 100%!! We will never ask for another dime. If we make a mistake it is our problem, not yours. We also offer a proposal package that includes Radon test, Scoping the sewer line, Air quality / mold contamination testing at a minimal investment that we would recommend whether you finish your basement yourself or we do it for yo.
How soon can we start our basement project?
After the design process and selection of finishes is made, expect a 2-3 weeks before actual work will begin, in the meantime we will be pulling permits and submitting your plan for approval from the appropriate county.
How long will it take, how will you gain access when I’m not home?
Most basement finish projects take 6-8 weeks from actual work starting to completion or even quicker. We are AGGRESSIVE IN OUR SCHEDULES. We will provide a lock box for an extra key to be stored in, so we can gain access while you are away. You will need to make arrangements for your pets.
IS IT MESSY or loud?
No lies. Any renovation is going to cause inconvenience. Our goal is to keep that to a minimum, but we will always protect the egress areas with the proper protection materials, i.e. panels, floor plastic, protection blankets, etc., If we damage anything while working on your project we will fix it.
How do you store your equipment, remove construction waste?
In most cases we will determine with you what area outside we can designate to drop a small roll off dumpster, small storage container and a port o let bathroom.
Who does the work?
Most of the work is done by our own in house employees, something most of our competitors cannot claim. Our in house craftsman include trim carpenters, framers, painters, drywall finishers and flooring installation, tile setters, Project managers and Project Supervisors. Our good friends and neighbors that own their own businesses that we will contract with would include the MEP Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing Tradesmen.
Scheduling?
VERY AGGRESSIVE as stated previously. We do not want to inconvenience you more than absolutely necessary, this is why we are so aggressive in our scheduling. We will complete your project 30 to 50 percent faster than most of our competitors because we can schedule our in house employees in lieu of waiting on a sub contractor whos truck broke down or forgot to order product or has another job to be at. We want to work and like you we work very hard. We want your life back to normal as soon a possible as you do. We want you enjoying your new basement as soon as possible as you do.
Clean up and finishing?
We will of course clean up the project site on a daily basis at the end of each working day. A final walk through between you and us will take place at each substantial phase and at the end of the project, at that point all “touch up” items and a final thorough clean will have taken place.
