Helping Firestone Homeowners Make Real Life Out of Empty Space
Why Firestone Homeowners Choose Christie's
Because Every Firestone Basement
Is Ready To Become the Room You Actually Need
For more than 25 years, Christie’s has helped Firestone homeowners stop living around their unfinished basement and start living in it. The custom bar where your neighbors actually want to gather on a Friday night. The guest suite where your parents finally stay comfortably instead of camping on the couch. The home theater your kids disappear into every weekend, in the best possible way. That is what makes basement finishing personal.
At Christie’s Design/Build Remodeling, we know what Firestone’s production-builder subdivisions handed you, nine hundred to eleven hundred square feet of poured concrete, plumbing already stubbed into the slab, and genuine potential sitting one floor below your daily life. We design multi-room layouts around how your household actually moves, handle every step of Firestone’s permit process, and stay with you from the first conversation all the way through final inspection. From Evanston and Town Center to the newer streets throughout Firestone, we bring the design clarity and honest process your basement has been waiting for.

What Makes Basement Finishing & Remodeling Different In Firestone
A Finished Firestone Basement
Should Solve The Problem Your Upstairs Never Could
Basement finishing in Firestone has a starting advantage that’s easy to underestimate, because so much of the town was built in the same production window, the unfinished basements here are remarkably consistent: similar ceiling heights, similar rough-in locations, similar mechanical footprints, which means scoping is predictable and design becomes the real conversation. What isn’t consistent is what your household actually needs down there, a custom wet bar for the neighbors who come over every Friday, a guest suite with a full en-suite bath for your parents who are staying longer these days, or a home theater your kids will treat like a second living room. At Christie’s Design/Build, we start with your Firestone home’s specific slab conditions, stub-out placement, and structural layout, then build a floor plan around how your family genuinely lives, not around what fits easiest. Firestone’s building department references the 2018 code cycle and requires plan review before construction begins, so we bring that permit process into the schedule from day one, not as an afterthought.
.01
Firestone Subdivisions, Production-Built to Premium
Most Firestone basements in post-2000 subdivisions hand you a near-identical 900–1,100 sq ft concrete shell with plumbing stubs already roughed into the slab, which means the design conversation can go straight to what your family actually wants down there for the next ten years.
.02
Production-Builder Columns, Ducts, and Stub-Outs
Firestone’s production-builder basements hand you a consistent starting point, same ceiling heights, same rough-in locations, but support columns, low ductwork runs, and the mechanical footprint still shape every room boundary in ways you have to design around, not just past.
.03
Egress, Stub-Outs, and HVAC Reroutes First
In Firestone’s post-2000 subdivisions, basement finishing projects regularly surface stub-out placements that don’t align with your desired bathroom location, egress windows that require enlarging for a legal bedroom, and HVAC trunk lines that need to be rerouted before framing and finishes can begin.
.04
Firestone Family Life and Long-Term Living
Firestone sits on the Front Range plains, and Colorado’s freeze-thaw cycles make moisture at the slab a real pre-finish conversation. Vapor assessment, subfloor planning, and insulation decisions happen before framing begins so your finished space stays comfortable through every season.
Firestone, CO Neighborhoods
Your Firestone Basement
Is a Thousand Square Feet Ready to Live In
Firestone’s post-2000 production subdivisions, places like Booth Farms, Sagebrush, and the neighborhoods lining Colorado Boulevard’s northern corridor, were built with something sitting untouched beneath nearly every main floor: a near-identical concrete shell, roughly 900 to 1,100 square feet, with plumbing already stubbed into the slab and ceiling heights that comfortably handle a full custom build. Basement finishing in Firestone is a genuinely distinct conversation because the starting point is so consistent, same rough-in locations, same mechanical footprints, same clean canvas, which means your entire budget goes toward deciding what that space actually becomes for your family, not toward untangling someone else’s unfinished project. One household might be building the custom bar and entertaining zone that the subdivision social scene has been quietly demanding, while another is finally creating the guest suite that gives aging parents a real room of their own. At Christie’s Design/Build Remodeling, we look at your ceiling clearances, bathroom stub location, and how your family actually plans to use the space before we put a single wall on paper. The neighborhoods below reflect exactly the homes, and the decisions, we work with here.

Our Firestone Basement Finishing Process
That 1,000 Square Feet Downstairs Has Been Waiting Long Enough
Finishing a basement in Firestone comes with a genuinely predictable starting point, most homes in town were built by production builders in the same era, which means you’re likely sitting on 900 to 1,100 square feet of clean concrete slab with plumbing already roughed in, consistent ceiling heights, and no decades of deteriorating finishes to work around first, so the conversation goes straight to how your custom bar, guest suite, home theater, and gym can share one cohesive lower level that your household will actually live in. Our process guides your project through every phase, slab assessment, space planning, Town of Firestone building department permit review, trade coordination, construction, and final walkthrough, so the finished space feels intentional, comfortable, and exactly like the home you planned to grow into when you bought it.

What Firestone Homeowners Want From Their Basement Finish
A Firestone Basement That
Finally Works for Your Family
Legal Suites & En-Suite Baths
More Room For the Life You're Living
Firestone's production-builder homes are sitting on 900 to 1,100 square feet of unfinished concrete with plumbing already stubbed in the floor. A real guest suite, a full bathroom, and an entertaining space can turn that untouched footprint into a lower level your family genuinely counts on every single day.
Production-Home Layouts, Reimagined
1,000 Square Feet Below, Fully Lived In
Firestone's production basements come with a mechanical footprint, a support post or two, and ductwork that all need somewhere to live in your layout. Getting those constraints into the design conversation early, before a single wall is framed, means your finished basement flows exactly the way you pictured it, not around obstacles you discovered too late.
Firestone Bars, Built-Ins & Storage
Every Room You've Been Missing
Firestone's production basements fill back up with gear and overflow from upstairs faster than most families expect when storage isn't part of the design from day one. Integrated built-ins, dedicated closets, and intentional shelving keep all of that contained so your bar, your guest suite, and your living zone stay exactly what you built them to be.
In-Law Suites, Gyms & Crafted Details
Your 1,000 Square Feet, Finally Finished
A custom bar with quartz countertops and under-cabinet lighting feels completely different from a basement that just has drywall and carpet. Pendant fixtures, a tile backsplash, cased doorways, and trim details that echo your main floor are what make your Firestone basement feel genuinely designed rather than simply finished.
Firestone-Tough Flooring That Lasts
Finished For the Next Ten Years
Your Firestone basement gets a lot of use, kids, guests, late-night movie nights, weekend entertaining, and your flooring has to hold up through all of it. Waterproof LVP over a proper subfloor system handles Colorado's slab moisture and seasonal humidity without buckling, while carpet and engineered hardwood round out the right finish for bedroom and bar zones.

Firestone Basement Finishing Frequently Asked Questions
Real Answers for Firestone Families
Ready to Finish Downstairs
Firestone homeowners come to us sitting on something that’s been there since move-in day, a 900 to 1,100 square foot concrete shell in Barefoot Lakes, Booth Farms, or Carbon Valley that the builder left unfinished and the family has been stepping around ever since. The bones are genuinely good: stub-outs already in the slab, ceiling height that can handle real design, and enough square footage to fit a custom bar, a guest suite, and a dedicated media room without compromising any of them. What holds people back isn’t the space, it’s knowing how the permit process works, where the bathroom has to land given the stub-out location, and what a premium finish actually costs. These FAQs address what Firestone homeowners most commonly ask before starting a basement finishing project with Christie’s Design/Build Remodeling.
