Radon is a Hidden Risk That Demands Professional Attention

Radon is an odorless, colorless, naturally occurring gas found in high concentrations across Colorado. As it leaks from the soil into your home through the foundation, it can accumulate in basements. When we approach your finished basement remodeling, addressing radon during the initial build is a critical component of responsible, quality craftsmanship.

Local Codes Ensure Your Family’s Safety and Comfort

Adhering to local building codes for basement finish is non-negotiable for our team. These regulations are designed to protect your investment and family. We manage the permitting process and compliance checks to confirm that your new space meets or exceeds all current standards for emergency egress, fire safety, and adequate ventilation to keep the area healthy.

Preventing Moisture: The Key to a Musty-Free Basement

Natural basement dampness can sometimes lead to a musty environment. To prevent this, our design includes appropriate vapor barriers, selecting the right insulation, and integrating proper ventilation fans in bathrooms and utility rooms. Alongside effective sub-slab sealing, it keeps moisture out and promotes good air circulation. It guarantees that your beautiful home remodel remains fresh and dry.
