Turn That Unfinished Orem Basement Into Real Square Footage, Not Just Storage.

Remodeling in Orem.

A typical Orem basement finishing project starts with confirming the original framing still meets code, then moves through basement framing touch ups where needed, drywall installation, and finally paint and flooring. Because these homes are decades old, bathrooms on the main level are also a common companion project, since original tile and fixtures from that era are usually well past their useful life.

A&Y also handles whole home remodeling in Orem for owners updating a house all at once rather than room by room, which comes up often in a city where so many homes are the same age and hitting the same renovation point at the same time.

Basement Finishing in Orem

Orem is unusually consistent for a city its size. A large share of its neighborhoods went in during one long stretch from the 1960s through the 1980s, which left thousands of homes with the same basic setup: a finished main floor sitting on a full basement that got a laundry area, a furnace, bare concrete, and nothing else. Forty years later that space is still open studs and storage shelves.

That consistency is what makes basement finishing the most requested project we do in Orem. The foundation and much of the framing are already there, so the money goes into the parts you actually live with rather than into structure. A typical Orem project starts with confirming the original framing still meets current code, corrects or adds framing where it does not, then runs drywall, paint, and flooring across the whole level.

The one thing worth checking early is egress. Basements from that era were not always built with bedroom sized windows, so if the plan includes a bedroom, that gets settled before drywall rather than after.
