Family Room Finishing
If you’re thinking of family room finishing for your home or adding finishing touches, you may consider hiring a contractor. Family rooms are one of the most utilized areas of your home, as they provide a perfect space to spend time together, and are a worthy investment. No matter if your family is just you and your significant other, you and your kids, or you and several generations of your family together, a family room will greatly improve your house. Family rooms can be added to any level of your home, from the top floor to the basement, and can be customized to look exactly how you want them to.
Encourage Bonding Time
Finishing a family room or family room finishing is a wonderful way to bring your family closer together. It gives them a space to play games together, watch TV, read, or simply chat and play. As such, it’s important that your family room has enough space for everyone and is cozy and comfortable. The floors and lighting you choose for your family room can change its atmosphere, as can how it’s designed. Northern Builders can add in a fireplace that really enhances the warm feeling of a family room, as well as play with the floorplan and doors to open up or seclude the space, depending on what you want.
Basement Living Room Ideas
It’s easy for clutter to gather in your home, but when you finish a family room, you free up space throughout your home. We can put compartments in the walls, as well as closets or cabinets that you can store toys and trinkets and books and the like in. Plus, when you add a family room, the very fact that you can store things in it encourages bonding, through providing the kids and guests with things to do.
Increase Your Home’s Value
There are endless options for what you can do with your family rooms when you work with Northern Builders. Since family rooms add living space to your home, they increase its value. Plus, since you can make them look however you want, you can have big windows that bring in more light, secret little rooms for the little ones to play in, family theater rooms and more touches that don’t just benefit you now, but also will benefit you in the future, by making your home worth more.
Completely Customized Family Rooms
Everything at Northern Builders is completely customized to whatever your desires are. Do you want a secret room for the kids to play in? We can add that. Do you want a cozy fireplace to gather around in the colder months? We can put one in. Do you wish you had more storage, but hate how much space storage compartments can take up? We can put in storage compartments that will help you save space, not take it up. Whatever you want for your family room finishing, we can do it for you.
Why Use A Professional for Basement Family Room Finishing?
When you take on a family room finishing or finishing project, it’s important to hire a professional for the job. They will know all of the structural and material needs for your family room and how these will differ based on where in your house you have your family room added in. For instance, if you want a family room for your basement, this will necessitate different materials than a family room in the upper levels of your home, because basements are more prone to moisture damage and mold and will need materials that can resist this.
A professional will be able to ensure that your family room has the space for everyone to gather in comfortably. If you have a family room put in in your basement, professionals will be able to get your building up to code with appropriately sized windows that can be used as an escape route in the event of an emergency.
Not just any contractor will be able to customize your family room finishing to whatever your needs are. If you truly want to bring your vision to life, a professional like Northern Builders can do this for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Whether finishing your basement is right for you depends on your specific needs, preferences, and circumstances. Consider factors such as your budget, the available space, your desired use for the basement (e.g., extra living space, home office, entertainment area), and your long-term plans for your home. Additionally, think about any potential challenges such as moisture issues or local building regulations. It’s often a good idea to consult with professionals like us to assess the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of the project and determine if it aligns with your goals and lifestyle.
The duration of the basement finishing process can vary significantly based on several factors, including the size and complexity of the project, the level of customization, any necessary structural or electrical work, and local permitting and inspections. On average, a basement finishing project can take anywhere from several weeks to a few months.
Here’s a rough breakdown of the timeline:
Design and Planning: This phase can take several weeks to a couple of months, depending on how quickly you can finalize your design and obtain necessary permits.
Construction: The construction phase is the most variable. Simple basement finishing projects might take a few weeks, while more complex ones with custom features or extensive renovations can take several months.
Finishing Touches: Once the major construction is complete, finishing touches like painting, installing fixtures, and furnishing the space can take several weeks.
Inspections and Final Approval: Depending on local regulations, inspections may add a few weeks to the timeline.
Unforeseen Delays: Keep in mind that unexpected issues, like weather delays, material shortages, or changes to the project scope, can extend the timeline.
To get a more accurate estimate, it’s advisable to consult with a professional basement finishing contractor like us, who can assess your specific project and provide a timeline based on your requirements and local conditions.
Whether you need a permit to finish or remodel your basement depends on your local building codes and regulations. These regulations can vary significantly from one jurisdiction to another, so it’s essential to check with your local municipal or county building department to determine the specific requirements in your area.
In many cases, you will need a permit for basement finishing or finishing if the project involves:
Structural Changes: If you plan to make structural alterations, such as removing or adding walls, changing the layout, or altering the foundation, you will likely need a permit.
Electrical Work: Any electrical work, including adding outlets, lighting fixtures, or wiring for appliances, typically requires a permit.
Plumbing Work: If your basement project involves adding or altering plumbing fixtures, such as sinks, toilets, or showers, a permit is usually required.
Egress Windows: Installing or modifying egress windows for safety and code compliance often requires a permit.
HVAC Changes: Altering or adding heating, ventilation, or air conditioning systems may require a permit.
Change of Use: If you are changing the use of your basement space (e.g., from storage to a living area), this may trigger permit requirements.
Fire Safety: Certain fire safety measures, such as fire-rated walls or doors, may require permits.
It’s crucial to contact your local building department early in your planning process to understand the specific permit requirements for your project. Failure to obtain the necessary permits can result in costly fines and complications down the road, including difficulties when selling your home. Working with a professional contractor like Northern Builders, who is familiar with local building codes can also help ensure compliance with regulations.

Scheduling: Once the design and planning are complete, Northern Utah Basements will schedule your project based on their availability and workload. The start date will depend on our current commitments and the size and complexity of your project.
Preparation: Before construction begins, there may be some preparatory work required, such as clearing out the basement space and addressing any issues like moisture or mold remediation. This preparation can add some time to the process.
