Frequently Asked Questions

  • What's included in full-service basement finishing?

At Eagle Rock Building, we handle everything from design consultation to final installation for a truly turnkey basement.
  • How much can I save with framing-only basement service?

    Framing-only service offers a 25% discount on basements of at least 1,200 square feet. This option is ideal for homeowners who want to handle drywall, electrical, and finishing phases themselves while getting a professional, code-ready structural build-out. At Eagle Rock Building, we ensure straight walls and clean layouts ready for your next steps.
  • What type of paint is used in basement projects?

    Eagle Rock Building uses Sherwin-Williams paint on all basement projects, applied with two coats as standard. This ensures durable, uniform coverage designed specifically for basement environments. The two-coat system enhances long-term performance and maintains a clean, professional finish throughout your space.
  • Can you install doors and trim as a standalone service?

    Yes, door and trim installation is available as a standalone service or as part of full basement finishing. This includes pre-hung interior doors, window trim, and base trim with precision cuts and tight seams. It's ideal for homeowners completing phased projects or upgrading existing spaces in Idaho Falls.
  • What's the difference between framing-only and full-service basement finishing?

    Framing-only provides the structural build-out with walls ready for electrical and drywall, while full-service includes everything from framing to final hardware installation. Full-service coordinates electrical, HVAC, painting, flooring, and trim. At Eagle Rock Building, we help you choose the option that fits your budget and timeline.
  • How does basement design consultation work before construction?

    Eagle Rock Building offers hands-on design consultations to help plan layout, function, and resale value before framing begins. We review room placement, closet systems, lighting needs, and traffic flow to maximize your basement's potential. Consultations are included with free, itemized estimates and ensure your vision aligns with structural realities.
  • What flooring options are available for finished basements?

    Eagle Rock Building installs carpet for comfortable living areas and tile for bathrooms and wet spaces, including walk-in showers. Flooring is selected to match basement use and traffic patterns, with clean transitions between rooms and stairs. All installations are designed for moisture resistance and long-term durability in Idaho's climate.
  • Why is two-coat paint standard for basement walls?

    Two coats of paint provide better coverage, color uniformity, and durability, especially in basement environments with varying moisture and light conditions. Eagle Rock Building applies Sherwin-Williams paint in two coats on all surfaces to ensure a professional, long-lasting finish that stands up to daily use and aging.
  • What's the biggest mistake people make when finishing a basement?

    Many homeowners skip proper framing layout or rush the design phase, leading to awkward room sizes, poor lighting placement, or wasted space. At Eagle Rock Building, we recommend design consultations before framing to plan electrical, HVAC, and function carefully. This prevents costly changes and maximizes basement value.
  • Does basement framing need to be code-ready for inspections?

    Yes, all basement framing must meet local building codes for wall spacing, egress, and structural support before drywall and electrical work can proceed. Eagle Rock Building frames basements with precision to ensure clean layouts and code compliance, so your project passes inspections and progresses smoothly through finishing phases.
  • Can you coordinate electrical and HVAC during basement finishing?

    Yes, full-service basement finishing includes coordination with electrical and HVAC trades to ensure proper placement, code compliance, and seamless integration. Eagle Rock Building schedules and manages these contractors so your basement build stays on timeline and all systems work together efficiently from framing through final finishes.
  • What makes trim work important in a finished basement?

    Professional trim work creates clean transitions between walls, floors, and windows, hiding gaps and elevating the overall appearance. Eagle Rock Building installs window trim and base trim with precision cuts and tight seams, designed to complement your flooring, paint, and lighting for a polished, high-quality finish.
