Basement Finishing in Clearfield

Clearfield is a working-class Davis County city of about 32,000 residents, closely tied to Hill Air Force Base — the county’s largest employer. The housing here is some of the most affordable along the Wasatch Front, which means homeowners get excellent return on investment when they finish their basements. Neighborhoods range from established 1960s-80s areas near the base to newer developments on the north and south ends.

Utah Basement Finishing has been working in Clearfield for 20+ years. We understand the needs here — practical, budget-conscious finishing that maximizes space and value.

Why Clearfield Homeowners Finish

Clearfield’s affordability makes basement finishing a high-ROI investment. A $20K-$35K finish on a $350K home creates significant equity and dramatically improves daily living.

Common projects:

• Extra bedrooms — Military and working families need space for growing households
• Rental apartments — Strong demand from HAFB personnel, young singles, and small families. Basement apartments can bring $700-$1,000/month in Clearfield
• Family rooms — Dedicated space for kids and entertaining
• Home offices — Remote and hybrid work is growing, even in traditionally in-person communities
• Practical utility spaces — Laundry rooms, storage, workshops

Clearfield Basements

Most Clearfield homes were built between 1960 and 2000:

• Concrete foundations in generally good condition
