Basement Evaluation
We inspect your unfinished basement for moisture issues, ceiling height, existing utilities, and structural considerations. We discuss your intended use and design preferences.
Layout & Design
We create a floor plan with room divisions, electrical layout, plumbing (if adding a bathroom or wet bar), and finish selections. Egress window locations are determined per code.
Rough Construction
Framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC ductwork, insulation, and drywall are completed. Egress windows are cut and installed. All rough work is inspected before closing walls.
Finishing & Handoff
Flooring, trim, paint, fixtures, and built-ins are installed. Final inspections, cleanup, and walkthrough complete the project.
How much does it cost to finish a basement in Boise?
Basement finishing in Boise typically costs $30-$60 per square foot, or $30,000-$60,000 for a standard 1,000 sq ft basement. Adding a bathroom, wet bar, or premium finishes increases the cost.
Do I need egress windows to finish my basement?
Yes. Idaho building code requires at least one egress window in any basement bedroom. Even if you are not adding a bedroom, egress windows are strongly recommended for safety and they add natural light. Iron Crest Remodel handles the complete egress window installation including window well and drainage.
What about moisture and waterproofing?
We assess moisture conditions before starting any basement project. Solutions range from interior sealants and vapor barriers to sump pump installation and exterior drainage corrections. All basement projects include appropriate moisture management.

We provide basement remodeling services throughout Boise, including these neighborhoods and surrounding areas.
Boise's housing stock spans a century of architectural styles. The North End features 1920s–1950s Craftsman bungalows with original hardwood floors, single-pane windows, and compact galley kitchens that benefit from thoughtful modernization. The Bench and Vista neighborhoods are dominated by mid-century ranches with solid bones but outdated kitchens, bathrooms, and electrical systems. Harris Ranch and Southeast Boise feature modern construction from the 2000s onward — builder-grade finishes that homeowners upgrade within 5–10 years of purchase. Each era presents distinct remodeling opportunities and challenges that our crews encounter daily.
“Iron Crest completely transformed our 1940s North End kitchen. They navigated the quirks of our old house — knob-and-tube wiring, plaster walls, uneven floors — and delivered a kitchen that feels both modern and true to the home's character.”
— Sarah M., North End | Kitchen Remodeling
“We had three contractors bid on our master bathroom remodel. Iron Crest was the only one who identified the galvanized drain lines behind the walls and included replacement in their scope. No surprises during construction.”
— David & Lisa R., Southeast Boise | Bathroom Remodeling
“Our Bench ranch needed everything — kitchen, both bathrooms, flooring, paint. Iron Crest managed the whole project as a single scope with one timeline and one point of contact. Finished on schedule and on budget.”
— Mark T., Boise Bench | Whole-Home Remodeling
