"We are so happy to have our basement competed. James and his crew finished our basement by drywalling, painting, trimming out windows, door frames and i stalling doors. It looks great!"
"Great work from High West, they were on time and had great craftsmanship. It was great to work with you guys and will hopefully see again, Thank you!!"
"Amanda was really very good! At first I was very skeptical, thinking why did I pay money to just speak with someone on the phone about my kitchen remodel project... but after just a few minutes of her addressing some of the issues/questions I emailed to her earlier, I knew it was worth it. It was very clear that she knew her business and she gave me several ideas that I had not even thought about. I told her that I would definitely recommend her to friends and I will very likely use her again myself for my next home project!
"Matt is extremely conscientious with his work standards and work performance. I am very pleased with the outcome of the projects he has done. I have, and will continue to, recommend 3 Peaks Maintenance & Remodeling."
"I had complications with a contractor that was working on my basement remodel. I had problems with the quality of the texture on the walls, the plumbing was leaking and the project was just taking forever. Ruben the owner of Corona IG saw the work the previous contractor and immediately said he would fix it right away. He fixed the texture, plumbing, and completed the remainder of the work. It was a completely different experience. They had everything done in one week and looking 100% better. I would highly recommend Corona IG for any project. I wish I would have started my project with them."
"he has worked for us for about 8 months and never had a problem that we couldn't work out. He's been honest and up front about everything. He does not go back on his word even if he takes a loss, he keeps his word."

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.
Yes, adding a walkout basement will usually bump up your property value. Most homeowners prefer walk out basements because the exposed wall that’s level with the ground provides more utility via a ground-level exterior entrance, and they can fit full windows, which adds natural light and ventilation to the basement area. The only exception might be in areas prone to tornadoes, as walkout basements aren’t as safe as regular basements during a tornado, particularly if they include large windows or glass sliding doors.
Building a bar in the basement will likely add value to your home, although it’s unlikely that you’ll see a significant return on investment (ROI) unless you plan on using the space for you and your guests. If you think you’ll use the area frequently, though, it’s probably worth the investment, and you should see a bump in value if or when you sell your property.
When considering finishing your basement, take into account a few pros and cons:
Pros
Can increase the value of your home
Separate space from the rest of the house
Customize and personalize the basement to suit your needs and style
Increase the amount of living space in your home
Cons
May not regain enough value to cover the cost of finishing
Lack of natural light if it’s below ground level
Moisture or flooding can cause costly damage
Installing plumbing and electrical can be messy and costly
While framing a basement is not as difficult as finishing a basement, it's something you should typically leave to the pros. That’s because if something is installed correctly, it will affect your entire basement. However, you can take care of some of the smaller tasks, like filling holes or putting up some insulation.
