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.

Meridian's housing stock is predominantly post-1990 construction, with massive growth between 2000 and 2020. Most homes are builder-grade with open floor plans, vinyl siding, and standard-finish kitchens and bathrooms. Homeowners typically seek upgrades within 5–15 years of purchase: replacing laminate countertops with quartz, upgrading builder-grade cabinets, adding hardwood or LVP flooring, and converting standard master baths into spa-like retreats. Meridian's newer construction means fewer hidden surprises during remodels — modern PEX plumbing, 200-amp panels, and code-compliant framing.
“Our Paramount kitchen was the definition of builder-grade — cheap laminate, basic cabinets, no island. Iron Crest turned it into the kitchen we actually wanted when we bought the house. The quartz island is where our family lives now.”
— Jennifer & Brian K., Paramount | Kitchen Remodeling
“We needed to upgrade our master bath before selling. Iron Crest designed a modern shower conversion that fit the existing footprint perfectly. The buyers specifically mentioned the bathroom as a selling point.”
— Tony P., Silverstone | Bathroom Remodeling
