Finance Your Dream Basement with Hearth: A Northern Colorado Homeowner’s Guide

Finishing a basement is one of the smartest investments a Northern Colorado homeowner can make. It dramatically expands your living space, adds significant value to your property, and creates the personalized area you've always dreamed of—whether it's a guest suite, a home theater, or a dedicated gym.

However, the average cost for a professional basement finish in areas like Fort Collins, Loveland, and Berthoud often ranges from $80,000 to $100,000+. Managing this upfront investment can be a challenge.

At Choice City Home Services, we believe you shouldn't have to put your life on hold while you save up for your ideal basement. We partner with Hearth, a leading platform for home improvement financing, to offer a variety of flexible payment options that make your dream remodel affordable right now.

Why Financing Your Basement Project Makes Sense

Financing your basement finish allows you to realize the benefits of your investment immediately. Instead of waiting years to save cash, you can start enjoying your new space today.

• Immediate Value & Comfort: Start using the extra bedroom or family room now.
• Keep Your Savings Intact: Maintain your emergency fund or investment accounts while paying for the remodel over time.
• Address Code/Safety Issues: If your project involves necessary upgrades like egress windows or electrical panels, financing ensures these crucial updates happen without delay.
