Finishing your basement is a great way to expand your living area, whether you plan to add bedrooms, an office, a guest suite, or storage space.

Having a finished basement can dramatically increase your property value and transform your livable space. The cost to finish a basement in Colorado is between $50 and $90 per square foot, with a higher price for plumbing installation or custom finishes. If you think about the thousands of dollars you’ll spend on your basement remodel, it makes sense to protect your investment by properly waterproofing first. Since 2001, Van Matre Construction has been helping Denver-area homeowners protect their biggest investments. When you hire our foundation and waterproofing contractors, you can rest well knowing your home will be protected from future damage.
Waterproofing at the outset of a basement finishing project makes sense, because that’s when everything is exposed and easy to access. If you wait until after your remodel is completed, you’ll have to go back and undo some of the work to properly waterproof. Before you install any new framing, drywall, or flooring, take the time to lay down a professional waterproofing plan that includes vapor barriers, perimeter drainage, or other systems recommended by your contractor.

We’ll come out to inspect your foundation and your basement and provide recommendations on how to best protect your investment from potential water damage. It’s well worth the extra step!
