Basement Finishing in Highland
Rocky Mtn Remodel finishes basements throughout Highland, one of Utah County's most established foothill communities. Highland homes tend to be larger than the county average, and the basements we finish here often include home theaters, wet bars, egress bedrooms, and custom bathrooms. As a licensed general contractor (license 11508280-5501) based nearby in Pleasant Grove, we have built a track record in Highland for quality finish work on larger, higher-end projects.
Permits and code
Finishing a basement in Highland requires a building permit from Highland City, and any basement bedroom must have a code-compliant egress window. Rocky Mtn Remodel handles the permit and all required inspections as part of every project.
Radon
Utah County is in an area with elevated radon levels. We recommend a radon test before finishing a Highland basement and can include mitigation in the project scope if levels are high.
Basement Finishing in Highland: Common Questions
How much does it cost to finish a basement in Highland?
Basement finishing in Highland runs roughly $40 to $80 per square foot depending on finish level, with larger and more complex projects — home theaters, wet bars, multiple bathrooms — moving toward the higher end. We provide a detailed fixed quote after seeing your space.
Do you build home theaters and custom bars in Highland basements?
Yes. Highland basements are often larger and well-suited for premium finishes. We build tiered home theater rooms, custom wet bars with quartz countertops, full bathrooms with tile showers, and egress bedrooms — all in one permitted project.
Do I need a permit to finish my basement in Highland?
Yes. Highland City requires a building permit for basement finishing, and any basement bedroom must have a code-compliant egress window. Rocky Mtn Remodel pulls the permit and schedules all inspections as part of the project.
How long does a basement finish take in Highland?
A standard Highland basement finish takes about six to ten weeks from permit approval to final inspection. Larger projects with home theaters, multiple bathrooms, or custom built-ins typically run ten to fourteen weeks.
Should I test for radon in my Highland basement?
Yes. Utah County has elevated radon levels, and foothill communities like Highland can test higher than average. We recommend testing before finishing a basement and can include a mitigation system in the project if needed.

5 Stars. Every Time.
Tyler with Rocky Mtn Remodel has been amazing to work with. He helped us remodel our kitchen, flooring, and bathroom. He's incredible, he helped us with design and picking out the right colors, our floor and bathroom have turned out amazing. He's got some amazing contractors, Mario that did our bathroom is the best, like seriously the best tile guy. We really felt cared for and that we were a priority. I'd recommend him to anyone. We filed an insurance claim on some water damage from our dishwasher, Tyler helped work back and forth with the agent. When we had issues, he was great at getting them resolved in a timely manner, and is very easy to work with. Tyler has a high standard and holds his contractors to that standard.

Kitchen, Flooring & Bathroom Remodel
We've been working with Tyler and Rocky Mtn Remodel for years, and we couldn't be happier. It all started back in 2020 when he helped us remodel our bathrooms. Most recently, they transformed our kitchen, basement, and family room—and the results are incredible. We feel so lucky to have found him! Tyler is truly the best. He guided us through every step of the planning process, and their website made it easy to stay on top of plans, timelines, and payments. Every contractor he brought in was professional and high quality. Communication was always clear and consistent—we felt heard, supported, and reassured throughout the entire process. Tyler made sure things stayed on schedule and always kept us in the loop if any issues came up. He even came by on a Saturday to finish up our cabinets! We absolutely love how everything turned out. We highly recommend Rocky Mtn Remodel to anyone looking for quality, reliable remodeling. Thank you so much, Tyler!

I own and operate an Audio-Video company and have worked with Tyler on several projects, which has always been a pleasure. He is responsive, honest, and hard-working. I have had such a good experience working with him that I hired him to help me flip and remodel my home before selling it. Everything was on budget and was able to sell my home quickly after his quality work.
