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 Payette, including these neighborhoods and surrounding areas.
As the county seat of Payette County, Payette has some of the oldest housing stock in the region. Downtown features homes from the late 1800s and early 1900s — wood-framed structures with plaster walls, knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized plumbing, and lead paint in pre-1978 construction. These homes require careful renovation planning including lead paint testing, complete electrical rewiring, and plumbing replacement. The 1960s–1980s ranch neighborhoods north and south of downtown offer single-story homes with dated kitchens and small bathrooms that are prime candidates for modernization. Newer construction on the outskirts features builder-grade finishes. Payette sits at the confluence of the Payette and Snake rivers, which means some properties face seasonal moisture concerns and drainage considerations affecting foundation work and bathroom waterproofing.
“Our 1940s Payette home needed a complete kitchen overhaul — the wiring was ancient, the plumbing was galvanized, and the cabinets were falling apart. Iron Crest rewired the kitchen, replaced all the plumbing, installed gorgeous new cabinets and quartz counters, and handled the Payette County permits. The transformation is incredible.”
— Robert & Karen J., Downtown Payette | Kitchen Remodeling
“We had a tiny, outdated bathroom with a cracked tub surround and no ventilation fan. Iron Crest converted it to a walk-in shower with grab bars for my mother, installed a proper exhaust fan, and replaced the vanity and flooring. They were respectful of our older home and finished in two weeks.”
— Angela M., South Payette | Bathroom Remodeling
“Iron Crest remodeled our kitchen and hall bathroom as a package deal. They handled the lead paint testing on our 1960s ranch, managed all the permits, and the finished product looks amazing. Best contractor experience we've had in Payette — honest, on time, and on budget.”
— Tom & Diane P., North Payette | Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling
