Denver Expertise

Built for Colorado's Unique Challenges

Denver basements face conditions that most contractors overlook. We specialize in the solutions that matter here.

��️

Floating Wall Systems

Colorado's Bentonite clay causes significant foundation movement. Our floating wall framing systems allow for seasonal soil expansion — keeping your walls straight, your drywall intact, and your basement code-compliant.

📋

Denver Code Compliance

Every basement we frame is built to Denver CPD specifications — proper egress, fire blocking, draft stopping, and structural requirements. We pull permits and coordinate inspections so you don't have to.

🛡️

Radon-Ready Framing

Colorado has some of the highest radon levels in the country. Our framing process accounts for radon mitigation system routing — vapor barriers, pipe chases, and sub-slab ventilation access built into the frame from day one.

FAQ

Common Questions About Basement Framing in Denver

How much does basement framing cost in Denver? +
Basement framing in Denver typically costs $7–$12 per square foot for framing only, depending on layout complexity, number of rooms, and whether floating walls are required. A full basement finish ranges from $30–$65 per square foot including all trades. We provide free on-site estimates with detailed written scopes.
Do Denver basements need floating walls? +
Yes — most Denver-area basements require floating walls due to the expansive Bentonite clay in Colorado's soil. Floating wall framing allows the wall to move independently from the foundation as the soil shifts seasonally, preventing cracks in drywall and structural damage. Denver CPD inspectors specifically check for proper floating wall installation.
Do I need a permit to finish my basement in Denver? +
Yes. Denver requires building permits for any basement finishing work that includes framing, electrical, plumbing, or mechanical changes. We handle the entire permit process with Denver CPD — application, plan submission, inspections, and final sign-off.
How long does a full basement finish take? +
A typical full basement finish in Denver takes 6–10 weeks depending on the size and scope. Framing alone usually takes 3–5 days. We provide a detailed timeline at the start of every project so you know exactly what to expect.
What's included in a full basement finishing project? +
Our full basement finishing service covers demolition (if needed), framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, drywall, flooring, painting, and final trim. We coordinate all trades through one point of contact — you deal with us, we deal with everything else.
Is LX Construction licensed and insured? +
Yes. LX Construction LLC is fully licensed and insured in the state of Colorado. We carry general liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage. We're happy to provide proof of insurance upon request.
