Why Choice City Home Services Is Berthoud’s Best Contractor for Basement Finishing

If you’re a homeowner in Berthoud, Colorado, with an unfinished basement, you might be sitting on one of your home’s biggest untapped opportunities. A basement finish adds livable square footage, boosts your home’s value, and creates space for the lifestyle you want—whether that’s a guest suite, a game room, or a quiet home office.

But when it comes to basement finishing, choosing the right contractor makes all the difference. At Choice City Home Services, we’re proud to be based right here in Berthoud, and we’ve built a reputation for delivering high-quality basement remodels that are well-managed, fairly priced, and built to last.

If you’re planning a basement finish in Berthoud, here’s why we’re your best choice.

🏡 Local Expertise from a Berthoud-Based Contractor

Unlike out-of-town contractors or national chains, we live and work in the same community you do. We understand the specific needs of Berthoud homes—from local building codes and permit requirements to common challenges like egress window placement and HVAC zoning.

Our local knowledge helps us move faster, communicate better, and avoid the missteps that cost homeowners time and money. Whether you're in Prairie Star, Hammond Farm, or an older part of town, we’ve likely worked on a home just like yours.

🧰 A Full-Service Team Built for Basement Projects

One thing that sets Choice City Home Services apart is our in-house team of licensed professionals, including:

  • Designers
  • Project planners
  • Carpenters
  • HVAC technicians
  • Electricians
  • Project managers
  • Office and scheduling staff

While many basement contractors rely entirely on subcontractors, we handle most trades internally. This gives us more control over quality, scheduling, and communication—so your project stays on track and on budget.

Because we’re also licensed in electrical, plumbing, and HVAC, we can handle everything from installing a new furnace to adding a bathroom or rerouting ductwork—all with the right permits and inspections in place.

✅ Designed for the “Right Size” Project

Berthoud homeowners typically don’t need ultra-custom, high-design remodels with luxury price tags. At the same time, you want more than a solo contractor juggling calls and building walls on nights and weekends.

We fill the gap in the market:

  • Our ideal basement project is around $100K, with 800–1,200 finished square feet
  • We take on straightforward, functional basement finishes with clean layouts and simple design
  • We offer the professionalism and systems of a larger firm—without the cost or complexity

Whether you're finishing your basement for guests, kids, rental potential, or resale value, we deliver exactly what you need: a reliable, high-quality finish with no surprises.

🧱 What’s Included in a Typical Basement Finish?

Our basement projects are tailored to each client’s needs, but most include:

  • One or two bedrooms or flex spaces
  • A family room or entertainment area
  • A full or three-quarter bathroom
  • Optional wet bar or storage room
  • Lighting, outlets, and smart thermostat integration
  • HVAC adjustments to balance heating and cooling
  • Flooring (luxury vinyl plank or carpet)
  • Code-compliant egress windows

We also offer custom options like soundproofing, built-ins, Murphy doors, and smart home features.

🔧 Our Proven Process = Less Stress

Homeowners love working with us because we’re organized, transparent, and easy to communicate with. Every basement finish follows our proven five-step system:

  1. Phone Consultation
    We learn about your goals, timeline, and budget to see if we’re a good fit.
  2. Free In-Home Consultation
    We walk your space, discuss layout ideas, and provide a bracketed estimate based on similar projects.
  3. Professional Design Consultation (PDC)
    Our paid design service includes a detailed layout, materials list, and a firm quote.
  4. Preconstruction Phase
    We finalize selections, confirm permits, and build your project schedule in Buildertrend.
  5. Construction Begins
    Our team gets to work—with regular updates, clear communication, and a clean job site.

We use Buildertrend, a professional project management tool that gives you access to your schedule, photos, documents, selections, and updates all in one place.

🛠️ We Don’t Like Surprises—and Neither Should You

Basement finishing can uncover surprises, like moisture issues, outdated wiring, or insufficient framing. That’s why we invest time in a detailed preconstruction phase—checking code compliance, confirming measurements, and onboarding any outside trades needed.

We’re proactive, not reactive. Our planning means fewer change orders, fewer delays, and better results.
