Why We're Different


Here are things that make American Basement Company stand out from our competitors in the Colorado Front Range market.

Design-Construction Pedigree


Most basement contractors are journeymen who trade up to the lure of bigger jobs. They learn by doing. You pay for the education.

We have a different pedigree:
  • 68 premium custom homes, averaging over 3,200 feet and $514,320 in value.
  • 7 multi-family units.
  • Over 86 elegant basement designs in the Front Range area in the last year.
  • Over 500 basement designs.
  • 98% customer satisfaction rate.
We designed and built every one of our homes from scratch. We have experience with every aspect of residential construction. So for us, creating designs that seamlessly complement the rest of your home is a piece of cake.

Professional Architectural Designs With 3D Virtual Tour


Some finished basement contractors do hand sketches. Others do computer-aided drawings, but only provide 2D floor plans. We are one of just a handful of finished basement companies that provides complete architectural-quality designs accompanied by 3D renderings and virtual tours. While your here why not take the time to visit our featured 3D Virtual Tour.

Risk-Free Design


American Basement Company is the only finished basement company that will do your professional architectural design—complete with 3D virtual tour—100% RISK-FREE.

We Make It Easy To Compare


After you have reviewed our design, if you want to shop around, we make it easy. Are we crazy? Nope. It's just that a funny thing keeps happening. After people get their design, call a couple of references and see the work we do, they keep canceling the rest of their appointments.

Outstanding Value


With meticulous design, attention to detail and low overhead, we are able to deliver impeccable design and craftsmanship for a lot less than our high-end competitors, and 15-20% below published construction standard costs.

We are rarely the lowest bidder, but consistently the best value. Here are just some features of our basements that make us stand out.
  • Staircases of exquisite woodwork.
  • Art niches lit just right.
  • Elegant window surrounds.
  • Hand-crafted ceilings.
  • Beautiful open layouts.
  • Exquisite granite or ceramic tile countertops and floors.

Quality "under the covers" is just as important. So we also:

  • Use wood framing, 16-inch on center, for straighter, truer construction.
  • Insulate ceilings, so your basement doesn't sound like a first floor apartment.
  • Insist on wood for window surrounds, handrails, and other features for maximum durability and appeal.
  • Meet or exceed all local building codes and construction standards.

On-Time Delivery


We typically can complete your design in 3 days or less - weeks fewer than most of our competitors. Then we start quickly and guarantee our schedule. Even better, we've never been late. And we will often finish weeks ahead of schedule.

Satisfied Customers


Every one of our customers at American Basement Company, as well as at our predecessor company, Stephens Family Homes has been completely satisfied and reference-able.

Our Team


It takes a bunch of specialized skills to finish a basement: plumbing, electrical, drywall, framing, lighting, HVAC and more. We even have a handrail specialist for many projects. So having reliable, loyal and motivated subcontractors on your team is crucial to success. This is how we do it:
  1. We consistently use the same people on all jobs, so we know what to expect.
  2. Our people are always certified where applicable and have 10+ years of experience in their field.
  3. We train every subcontractor to our high standards of performance before allowing them to work.
  4. We pay a little more and we pay them faster.
Treating subcontractors like family makes sense. They stay motivated and eager to work with us. They take pride in their work. And they just do what it takes to get things right.

Licensed And Insured


We are licensed and insured for all jurisdictions in which we work. We will not begin work in any new jurisdiction until we have obtained the proper licenses and permits.

Our Extras


As a way of saying "thanks" for your business, every customer receives these FREE bonuses as part of our services package:
  • BONUS # 1 - top to bottom basement and access area cleaning when complete
  • BONUS # 2 - home theater design consultation, where applicable
  • BONUS # 3 - kick-off party to show off your new space to friends, family and neighbors (your option, of course)
