Basement Finishing

Transform Your Basement into a Masterpiece of Function and Design

AAA Home Improvements specializes in luxury basement finishes designed to match the lifestyle and vision of high-end Colorado homeowners.

Smart Homeowners Plan Before They Build.

We’ll show you what can be done, what it should cost, and how to do it right the first time.

Why a Finished Basement Is One of the Smartest Home Investments

Unfinished basements are one of the most overlooked assets in Colorado homes.

Unfinished basements are one of the most overlooked assets in Colorado homes. That extra square footage is already under your roof—you’ve already paid for it.

So why let it sit idle?

Imagine transforming that cold, concrete space into a:

Cozy home theater for movie nights and Broncos games

Private guest suite for friends or aging parents

Sophisticated wine cellar and tasting bar

Kid-friendly game room or teen hangout

Productive home office or gym

At AAA Home Improvements, we approach basement finishing not as an afterthought—but as an opportunity to completely rethink how your home functions. From smart storage and soundproofing to spa bathrooms and gourmet wet bars, we turn underutilized basements into the most popular square footage in the house.

Our Basement Finishing Specialties

At AAA Home Improvements, we design basements with purpose. Whether you’re entertaining guests, expanding your living space, or creating a private retreat, we tailor each basement remodel to fit your exact vision. Below are some of the most popular basement features we build for clients across the Denver Metro Area:

Entertainment & Home Theater Basements

A luxury home theater in your finished basement is more than a big screen—it’s an immersive experience.

 We install built-in surround sound, projector systems, dimmable lighting, and custom seating layouts to recreate the cinema at home. From soundproofing to smart automation, we design every detail for comfort and acoustics. Denver homeowners love adding these entertainment zones for movie nights, game-day gatherings, and unforgettable family time.

Ready to Bring Your Dream Kitchen to Life?

Whether you’re ready to gut your kitchen or just exploring possibilities, AAA Home Improvements is here to help. Let’s create a kitchen that’s not just beautiful—but built around the way you live.

Guest Suites & Multigenerational Living

With Colorado’s rising housing costs and growing demand for flexible living, basement guest suites are an ideal solution.

 We design private bedroom and bathroom combinations—complete with closets, sound insulation, and even kitchenettes—so guests or aging family members have their own fully equipped space. These suites are also perfect for multigenerational households or passive income as short-term rentals, all while maintaining privacy and comfort.

Wine Cellars & Wet Bars

Add sophistication and style to your basement remodel with a custom wine cellar or wet bar.

 We offer climate-controlled wine storage, floating racks, under-bar lighting, and top-tier cabinetry to showcase your collection. Our basement bars can be tailored with seating, ice makers, sinks, and premium finishes for high-end entertaining. If you enjoy hosting, this feature becomes the social heart of your home—especially in areas like Highlands Ranch, Castle Pines, and Cherry Hills Village.

Basement Home Gyms

A finished basement is the perfect place to build a private home gym tailored to your fitness goals.

 We install reinforced flooring for weight areas, wall-mounted mirrors, and built-in TV systems for guided workouts. With designated spaces for cardio, weights, and stretching, our gyms are personalized to maximize results without leaving the comfort of your home. Many Denver homeowners are turning their basements into fully equipped wellness retreats.

Kids’ Playrooms & Teen Zones

Give your kids or teens a space of their own with a dedicated basement playroom or hangout zone.

 We design these spaces with soft, durable materials, built-in storage, and flexible layouts that grow with your family. For teens, we can create lounge spaces with gaming setups, desks for homework, and acoustic insulation for privacy. These areas keep clutter and noise out of your main living spaces while giving your kids freedom to play and relax.

Home Offices & Creative Studios

Whether you work remotely or run a side business, your finished basement can include a fully customized home office or creative studio.

 We provide quiet, well-lit workspaces with built-in shelving, custom desks, and high-speed internet wiring. For creatives, we can build soundproof studios, art rooms, or content creation spaces that are functional and inspiring. With today’s hybrid work environment, this has become one of our most requested features in basement remodels.

Even if this is your first custom home, it won’t feel that way. We guide you through every phase with intention, transparency, and white-glove service.

Outcome: Feasibility confirmed, potential constraints identified, zoning research initiated.

Step 03

I cannot say enough great things about AAA. I've worked with them multiple times, and they have always been super professional. Toby and his team were always timely and responsive when I asked questions. I've referred several friends to AAA because they do great work. My family is considering building an ADU, and we plan on having AAA build it. I highly recommend AAA for any project, big or small. They are great!

We had a great experience working with Toby and his team building a second story addition on our 100+ year old bungalow. In fact our first project so well, we hired them again to remove some walls and open the kitchen to the main living areas of the home, and finally complete a full remodel of our kitchen including redesigning the entire layout, moving the gas lines, water lines, drain lines, new electrical, cabinets and even a new kitchen ceiling. I don't have any reason I would ever hire anyone else after two successful experiences with AAA Home Improvements.

AAA home improvements recently finished our basement. From the start to finish, the project went great. Starting with Bob on the design and working with Luke, Toby, JT, we were thoroughly impressed with each phase of the work. Eddie, Rich, Merrill, Robert, Carlos, Andre, Antonio were all experts in their trades and we couldn’t have asked for better crews on this project. The basement was completed as scheduled and It turned out perfect! We highly recommend this company and would use them again on any future projects we may have.

Our first experience with AAA Home Improvements was in about 2006 for a “refresh” of our kitchen (light remodel). Since then they have assisted us with restoration repairs when a pipe broke, flooding our finished basement, then a deck, then new roofing and finishing a basement when we moved in 2013. In 2019 we came back to AAA for a major kitchen remodel, followed by a complete renovation of our primary bathroom a couple years later. We kept returning to AAA Home Improvements time after time because of the blend of customer service and expertise that they provide. Toby is very solution oriented and reasonable to work with when problems arise. Years of history of working with a firm that is obviously concerned with getting the job done right led us to asking Toby if AAA Home Improvements would be willing to tackle a new build in a mountain community. Working with Luke and Toby on the design-build of the house was an enormous task with beautiful results! We will continue to recommend AAA Home Improvements and seek them out for future projects. (In photos: the brick wall and windows were previously a wall of cabinets, the cooktop was moved off the island, the soffit was removed and the arch entryway was enlarged.)
