Basement Finishing
A Lehi production basement is often already framed and stubbed; finishing is drywall, paint, doors, and a bath at that rough-in, under a city permit.

Homes in Lehi
Lehi grew from 75,907 residents at the 2020 Census to an estimated 93,446 as of July 1, 2024 — a 23.1 percent increase. ACS 2024 counts 26,071 housing units. ACS 2020–2024 5-year figures put about 70.8 percent of units as one-unit detached, with a median year built of 2007 and roughly three-quarters of the stock built in 2000 or later. Owner occupancy is 77.1 percent (ACS 2019–2023). That is a young, family-sized production stock: many houses were delivered with unfinished or roughed-in lower levels. Silicon Slopes employment sits next to this housing, which is why home offices and media rooms come up often. Those are finish rooms, not additions.

Permits in Lehi
Lehi takes basement-finish applications through the Building Permit Submittal Portal. The live Residential Basement Finish PDF asks for dimensioned plans, window sizes, electrical/plumbing/mechanical notes, and the contractor license number. We do not invent a paint-or-door exemption from that PDF; it does not say.

Questions we hear in Lehi
Do I need a permit to finish a basement in Lehi?
Yes. Lehi requires basement-finish applications through the Building Permit Submittal Portal, with a Residential Basement Finish packet. Building and Permitting is at 153 North 100 East, 385-201-1035.
How long does a Lehi basement finish take?
Several weeks after the permit is issued is typical for a roughed-in production basement. Fixture lead times and inspections can stretch that. The written schedule is the calendar for your house.
What does a Lehi basement finish cost?
Use $40–$90 per finished square foot on the site estimator as a planning band. Newer Lehi shells can sit toward the lower labor side if the rough-in is clean; baths and millwork push it up. The quote after the walkthrough is the price.
Do you work in Traverse Mountain?
Yes. Traverse Mountain is in Lehi and inside our service area. Interior finishing and punch lists there are in scope. Community design rules, if they apply, are the owner’s to confirm with the association.
Should I test a Lehi basement for radon?
Yes. Lehi is in Utah County (EPA Zone 2). The EPA action level is 4 pCi/L. Mitigation systems are referred to a licensed radon contractor; we finish around a system that is already in place.

We know Lehi homes.
Areas we serve
Lehi sits at the heart of the Silicon Slopes corridor, and its housing stock reflects that fast growth: a large share of homes here are newer builds, many constructed in the past two decades around Traverse Mountain and the Thanksgiving Point area. These homes were often delivered with roughed-in basements, meaning the framing, rough plumbing, and electrical stub-outs are in place but the space is unfinished. For Lehi homeowners, that makes basement finishing the most common project we see: turning a roughed-in shell into a bedroom suite, family room, home office, or bathroom.
With so many remote-work tech professionals here, dedicated office and media spaces come up constantly. Lehi's bench and hillside lots also produce walkout and daylight basements, which change how a space is laid out, lit, and where moisture and egress need attention before finish work begins. Newer Lehi homes generally need less prep, while the city's older homes ask for more careful drywall repair, surface prep, and paint correction before a clean finish reads right.
Typical Lehi work stays in the finishing lane: framing interior partitions, drywall, taping, paint, trim, doors, flooring, and finishing roughed-in baths. Anything touching the foundation, structure, or load paths falls outside our scope and gets referred to a licensed structural or general contractor. That focus is what lets a Lehi finish project land predictably, on budget, and at the quality these homes deserve.
