Herriman Basement Finishing Turns Lower Levels Into Living Space
Herriman Basement Finishing is a locally owned contractor that turns unfinished basements across Herriman, Bluffdale, and the Southwest Salt Lake Valley into apartments, theaters, bathrooms, and gathering spaces. Here's a look at what they build and how they approach the work.
Plenty of homes in the south end of the valley have a basement that's mostly bare concrete, storage bins, and potential. Herriman Basement Finishing exists to change that. The locally owned and operated contractor serves homeowners in Herriman, Bluffdale, and the Southwest Salt Lake Valley, handling complete, end-to-end basement remodels designed, as they put it, "for Utah living."
What They Build Downstairs
The team works only below ground. According to their website, they specialize "exclusively in sub-surface construction and custom basement renovations." Their work covers a wide range:
- Basement apartments and ADUs, including legal mother-in-law apartments with a kitchenette and a private entrance. Homeowners might use one for family or as a rental.
- Home theaters and entertainment hubs, with custom lighting, soundproofing, tiered seating platforms, hidden A/V wiring, and built-in cabinetry.
- Basement bathrooms, from a half-bath off a game room to a full bathroom. The work includes subgrade plumbing, concrete trenching, sewage ejector pumps, and custom tile.
- Egress windows and walkout entrances, installed to code for safety, natural light, and a legal bedroom designation.
- Wet bars and kitchenettes for hosting. The website pitches them as a spot for "watching the latest holy war between the Utes and BYU."
The crew manages each stage of a project: framing, electrical, drywall, and finishes.
How They Approach the Work
The business says it was "born out of a passion for transforming underutilized spaces into beautiful, functional living areas." Its founders "saw a gap in the local market for contractors who prioritize transparent communication" and strict attention to building codes. One line from their site captures the attitude: "We don't just put up drywall; we engineer safe, legal, and stunning spaces."
That shows up in a few practical ways:
- Permits and inspections. They pull municipal permits and handle inspections under Salt Lake County and Herriman City codes, so homeowners don't have to deal with the paperwork.
- Climate-minded materials. They use moisture-resistant drywall, proper insulation, and durable flooring. These choices account for the freeze-thaw cycles and soil conditions along the Wasatch Front.
- Living through the remodel. Basement work happens under a family's feet. The team uses dust control, keeps a clean job site, and protects upstairs living areas during construction.
- Communication. Project managers share timelines, transparent pricing, and daily updates. The process begins with a 3D design consultation and ends with a final walkthrough.
