“We had Utah Basement Specialists finish our basement. Brandon and Jack were fantastic to work with. They’re very knowledgeable and helped us focus the build to work within our budget. The shiplap walls Jack did are a real highlight for the basement. We appreciate all you did for us!”

“My home is older and needed a lot of help. They gave a good bid and made the basement and a few items on the main floor much nicer. They did a good job and I’m happy with their work.”
Salt Lake City, Utah
“We’re super pleased with how our basement finishing project turned out with Utah Basement Specialists. I got bids from at least 4 companies and I’m really happy I ended up using these guys. John and Brandon were great to work with. The project ended up taking quite a bit longer than originally anticipated, but I understand that’s usually how it goes with just about any contractor. It’s worth noting that changes we made along the way also played a part in this. Overall, the most important thing is that it turns out the way you wanted it to and that’s exactly the case with our project. I would 100% recommend Utah Basement Specialists to anyone looking to finish their basement!.”
