What Sets Us Apart

Based in South Jordan, Utah, our team specializes in custom basement finishing, kitchen remodeling, and full-home renovations designed to enhance comfort and value.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Blake and his team were incredibly professional and friendly through the process of finishing our small basement. Being no expert in finish work myself, it was nice to be able to defer to them and give them creative liberty to do what looked best for our particular situation. I would definitely recommend them to anyone serious about quality!

Blake was easy to work with, always kind and attentive; and I would recommend anyone with any basement finishing needs give CCS a call; I will!!!
Thanks again!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. CCS and their crew was top notch. They went above and beyond in every aspect of the experience, from being so considerate and respectful of our home and family to exceeding expectations on our whole basement build out. The comfort we had during construction was all because of the people at CCS- it was worth every penny!  It was an incredibly smooth process and communication with them was seamless. I look forward to hiring CCS again for other home projects. I would recommend them over and over.

We wanted our basement to match the finish throughout the rest of our house and they delivered, beating our expectations on quality and timing.  Steve, Tim, Blake and the rest of the team there are upfront, honest, hard-working guys and they put as much care into the project as if it were their own home.
