In Westminster, CO and across the Northern Colorado region, homeowners are reimagining their homes—starting from the ground up. If your basement is unfinished or outdated, it could be the key to unlocking more space, greater functionality, and increased home value.

At Christie’s Design/Build Remodeling, we specialize in basement finishing and remodeling projects that turn dark, unused basements into beautiful, livable spaces. Whether you’re dreaming of a home office, guest suite, rec room, or all of the above, our Westminster-based team is here to guide you through the process with clarity, creativity, and craftsmanship.

Why Finish Your Basement? The Hidden Potential Beneath Your Feet

Most homes in Westminster, Broomfield, Thornton, and nearby areas have basements—but many remain underused. By finishing your basement, you’re not only upgrading your lifestyle but also making a smart financial decision.

Add Valuable Square Footage

Basement finishing allows you to expand your home’s livable space without the cost of a full addition. Whether you need more room for a growing family or want to create a multifunctional lower level, finishing your basement provides room to grow within your existing footprint.

Increase Property Value

A finished basement can significantly increase the resale value of your home. Buyers in areas like Erie and Brighton are especially drawn to homes that offer move-in-ready, finished basements with additional amenities like bathrooms, guest rooms, or home theaters.

Improve Energy Efficiency

Unfinished basements are often drafty and inefficient. Proper insulation, HVAC integration, and energy-efficient lighting can help regulate temperature and lower utility bills—while making your basement feel just as comfortable as the main floor.
