West Jordan is Salt Lake County’s second-largest city with over 116,000 residents, and it’s still growing. Stretching from the Oquirrh Mountains to Bangerter Highway and beyond, West Jordan is a mix of established 1980s-90s subdivisions, newer developments on the west side, and everything in between. It’s a city where families put down roots, and most of those families are sitting on 800-1,200 square feet of unfinished basement.
Utah Basement Finishing has completed dozens of projects in West Jordan over our 20+ year history. We know the housing stock here, from the older split-levels near 7800 South to the two-stories going up near the Mountain View Corridor.
West Jordan is a working family city. Homes are more affordable than the east side of the valley, which means residents tend to invest in their current home rather than trade up. Finishing the basement is the single best investment you can make.
What we build most in West Jordan:
Established neighborhoods (east of Bangerter, built 1978-2000): These homes typically have 7.5-8 foot basement ceilings, some pre-roughed plumbing, and standard concrete foundations. Many have partial finishes, a roughed-in bathroom or a single finished room, and owners want us to complete the rest properly.
Newer developments (west of Mountain View Corridor, 2010+): Taller 9-foot ceilings, modern insulation, pre-roughed plumbing, and open layouts. These are straightforward projects that move quickly and cost less.
Split-level and bi-level homes: West Jordan has a lot of these from the 1980s. The lower level is partially below grade, which creates unique lighting and layout opportunities. We’ve finished many split-levels and know how to make that awkward in-between level work.
West Jordan City requires building permits for all basement finishing work. The city’s building department is at City Hall (8000 South Redwood Road) and handles plan review and inspections.

West Jordan has both older established homes and newer west-side builds, so a good basement estimate should account for home age, ceiling height, bathroom rough-ins, electrical capacity, moisture conditions, egress options, and whether the plan is a family room, apartment-style space, game room, basement bathroom, wet bar, or kitchenette.
Use the Utah basement cost guide and basement cost calculator for a first pass, then get the space walked before comparing contractors.
West Jordan has both older finished or partially finished basements and newer raw basements. That means estimates should separate remodel work, moisture/code checks, egress needs, apartment-style layouts, and clean new-finish scope instead of using one generic square-foot number.
The pages most useful before a West Jordan estimate are the Basement Finishing Utah guide, Basement Remodeling Utah guide, Utah basement cost guide, basement cost calculator, egress windows, basement bathrooms, and basement apartments and ADUs when rental or family-suite use is on the table.
For homeowners comparing basement contractors in West Jordan, the better bid is the one that names the scope: bedrooms, bathrooms, egress, moisture, insulation, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, finishes, permits, inspections, and cleanup. A vague “finished basement” line item is where surprises hide.
