Testimonials
“We had our basement finished in March 2023 by Better Built Basement and could not be happier. Communication with BBB was wonderful. They were honest and up front about the timeline and process. There were no surprise costs or serious delays. They were always friendly and willing to answer any questions. We are so glad we decided to go with them. Couldn’t ask for a better basement for our home!”

Frequently Asked Questions
At our initial meeting we will measure your basement and discuss your basement design, taking into consideration your wants, needs and suggestions.
When we return for our second visit we will present you with a proposal which includes one or two floor plan options, and a detailed outline of everything that will be included in your basement finish. We will then tweak the floor plan and proposal to your satisfaction.
Your project will begin within a few days of your signing the contract
A licensed basement contractor should always pull the permits. If a contractor asks you to do it, that’s a major red flag — it often means they’re unlicensed. In El Paso County, basement finishers must be licensed general contractors by law. Hiring someone unlicensed can put your home — and insurance coverage — at serious risk. A reputable contractor ensures all subcontractors are properly licensed and insured for your protection.
Absolutely not!
Basement finishing is a very competitive market. There are many unscrupulous individuals who, in an effort to seal the deal will give low-ball bids that the potential customer cannot resist. The unfortunate truth is, if something sounds too good to be true, it most likely is.
Contractors who present unrealistically low bids do so with every intention of adding on costs throughout the project, knowing that the customer with whom they have signed a contract will feel obligated to accept cost variations.
