Our specialty

The cheapest square footage in your home

The walls and roof are already there. Finishing a basement adds bedrooms, a family room, a bathroom, or a full apartment for a fraction of what an addition costs, and it can pay you back when you sell or rent.

More room to live. A great room, a theater, bedrooms, an office, or a gym, laid out to fit your family.
Rental income. A legal basement apartment with its own kitchen and entrance can help cover the mortgage.
Permits handled. Egress windows, framing, electrical, and the Tooele County permit are all part of the job.
One honest price. You see a real written number before any work starts, not a surprise later.

Why Upterra

You work with the owners, start to finish

Upterra Builders is not a big company with a sales office. Danny and Trayson run the jobs themselves, so the people who quote your project are the same people who finish it.

Owner-run

Danny and Trayson quote the work and stay on the job. No handoff to a project manager you have never met.

One honest price

You get a real written estimate before the work starts. If the budget and the plan do not match, we tell you up front.

Local to Tooele County

We work in Tooele, Stansbury Park, Grantsville, Erda, Stockton, and nearby. We know the local permit process.

Finished right

Clean framing, straight tile, and a crew that treats your home like it is theirs. Homeowners tell us so.

Questions

The things people ask first

Do you finish basements in Tooele County?

Yes. Basement finishing is what we do most. We work in Tooele, Stansbury Park, Grantsville, Erda, Stockton, Lake Point, and the rest of the county. Tell us your ZIP on the free estimate form and we will confirm we cover you.

How much does it cost to finish a basement?

It depends on the size of the space and what you want in it, like a bathroom, a kitchen, or a bedroom with an egress window. Nobody can give you a real number from a web page. What we can do fast is walk your basement and put an honest written price in front of you, for free.

Do I need a permit to finish my basement?

Yes. Finishing a basement in Tooele County needs a building permit, and adding a bedroom means a legal egress window. We handle the permit and build it to code, so it is done right and it passes inspection.

Can you build a basement apartment or ADU?

Yes. We build basement apartments with their own kitchen, bathroom, and private entrance, done to code so it can be rented legally. A lot of Tooele County homeowners use the rent to help cover the mortgage.

Do you do kitchens and bathrooms too?

We do. Along with basements we remodel kitchens and bathrooms, build additions, and take on light commercial and tenant improvement work. It is the same crew and the same honest pricing on every job.

Is the estimate really free, and do you offer financing?

The estimate is free, with no pressure. Financing is available for approved buyers through our lending partner, so you can spread the cost of the project out over time instead of paying it all at once.
