Fort Collins basements

What makes Fort Collins basements different?

Clay that swells

Much of Northern Colorado sits on clay soil that swells when wet. Heaved basement slabs are a common sign. Your contractor checks the floor and plans walls that allow for movement.

Radon below grade

Radon is a real concern in Larimer and Weld counties. A test before you close in the walls tells you if a fix belongs in the plan.

City, town or county permit

Fort Collins, Loveland, Greeley, Windsor and Timnath each issue their own permits. Larimer or Weld County covers homes outside town limits. Your contractor files with the right one.

Choosing a contractor

How to choose a basement contractor in Fort Collins

Which contractor licenses can finish a basement in Fort Collins?

Fort Collins lets contractors with an A, B, B(DR), C1, C2, D1, D2, D(DR) or residential E license finish a basement. The city lists these classes in its Residential Basement Finish Guide.

Ask for the license number and check it before you sign. Larimer County keeps its own contractor search for homes outside city limits.

What should you ask a Fort Collins basement contractor before you sign?

Ask questions that show how the job will run and get the answers in writing.

  • Who submits the permit, and are the fees in the price?
  • Will you check the slab for heave and plan floating walls if needed?
  • Do you recommend a radon test before we close the walls?
  • Does any window work need an engineer's letter?
  • What does the quote leave out?
