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.

Proudly Serving These Utah Communities

Looking for a trusted basement remodeling contractor in Utah? CCS of Utah is based in the south end of the Salt Lake Valley and serves homeowners across southern Salt Lake County and northern Utah County — from Sandy and Draper down through Lehi, American Fork, and Alpine.

Utah homes span two very different eras. Established neighborhoods in Sandy, Riverton, and South Jordan are full of 1980s and 90s ranch and rambler homes with basements that have never been touched. Newer communities in Lehi, Saratoga Springs, and Daybreak have large, open basement footprints just waiting to be used. Either way, the potential is there — and we know how both generations of Utah homes are built and what each one needs.

Every city along the Wasatch Front runs its own permit process, egress requirements, and inspections. We work with these building departments every week, so your remodel passes the first time. We bring honest pricing, clean job sites, and a team that shows up when we say we will. No national franchise. One CCS project manager runs every job, with our crew and trusted trade partners, and the same standards on every project.

If you are searching for basement remodeling in Utah, you are already in our backyard.
