About finished basement homes in Boulder

Permitted or not. A permitted finish was inspected for electrical, plumbing, egress and fire. An unpermitted finish is common in Boulder and it is where buyers find the surprises. We pull the permit history.

Egress makes a bedroom. A basement bedroom without an egress window is a "non-conforming" bedroom and cannot be counted or safely slept in. The window costs $3,000 to $6,000 to add.

Radon. Colorado soil puts radon in most basements. A test runs $150 and mitigation $1,000 to $2,000; both are standard in a Boulder contract.

Water and the sump. Finished walls hide the foundation. We look at the sump pump, the window wells, the carpet edges and the smell.

Appraised value. Below-grade square footage appraises at less per foot than the main floor, which is why a finished basement is the best-value space in Boulder.

Tell us what the basement is for: bedrooms, a theater, a gym, a suite or a rental. It sets what "finished" has to include in Boulder.
