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 Star, including these neighborhoods and surrounding areas.
Star has experienced explosive growth since 2015, with most of its housing stock built in the last 10–15 years. Subdivisions like Heron River, Star River, and Lakewood feature 2,000–3,500-square-foot homes with open floor plans, attached garages, and builder-standard finishes. Star homeowners are prime candidates for builder-grade upgrades: replacing laminate countertops with quartz, upgrading basic carpet to LVP or hardwood, adding composite decks, and finishing unfinished basements for additional living space. Star's newer construction means modern mechanicals — fewer hidden surprises during renovation.
“Our Star kitchen had the standard builder white laminate. Iron Crest upgraded to quartz counters, added a beautiful backsplash, and installed new hardware — it looks like a completely different kitchen for a fraction of a full remodel cost.”
— Ryan & Megan D., Heron River | Kitchen Remodeling
“Iron Crest finished our basement exactly how we designed it. The wet bar and home theater area are where we spend every weekend. Best investment we've made in the house.”
— Chris B., Lakewood | Basement Remodeling
