We recently had the pleasure of working with Millgate Homes to finish our basement, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. It was a large-scale project with plenty of custom design elements, Millgate handled every detail. The team brought our vision to life with beautiful craftsmanship and thoughtful touches that make the space feel both functional and inviting. Every corner reflects our personal style, and the quality and intention we hoped for. Our basement is now one of our favorite places to be!

Basement Bathroom Finishing Services for Utah County Homeowners

Millgate Homes has provided basement bathroom finishing services in Utah County since 1997, and the scope of the work depends a lot on which of our four core cities, American Fork, Lehi, Saratoga Springs, or Eagle Mountain, your home is in, and how old it is. Bathrooms cost more per square foot than any other basement room, because unlike a bedroom or family room, a bathroom needs its own supply and drain lines tied into your home’s existing plumbing.

Older homes near American Fork’s and Lehi’s original town centers were often built with a single drain line sized for the house above, not a future basement bathroom, adding one down there commonly means a sewage ejector pump to push waste up to that line rather than relying on gravity. Newer construction in Saratoga Springs and Eagle Mountain, where unfinished basements are still the default on new-build homes, usually already has a plumbing stub-out roughed in for a future bathroom, which cuts both cost and time since we’re connecting to existing lines instead of cutting concrete to run new ones.

Every city in Utah County requires a permit for the plumbing and electrical work a new bathroom involves, with inspections at framing, mechanical/electrical/plumbing rough-in, and final. Millgate pulls the permit and schedules every inspection, in whichever of the four cities you’re in, so you’re not the one tracking down the city.

Questions to Ask When Comparing Basement Bids

Comparing bids? Ask every contractor: Is the tub steel or plastic? Is the countertop granite or laminate? Is the interior wall insulated? Millgate includes BootzCast steel tubs, stone countertops, and free interior-wall insulation as standard.

Our Basement Bathroom Finishing Process

Step 1: Free Consultation

We walk your basement with you and look at your existing plumbing stub-outs, or lack of them.

Step 2: Design & Estimate

We sketch the layout (vanity placement, tub/shower orientation, door swing), and your formal bid is based on that plan.

Step 3: Permitting & Scheduling

Millgate pulls the building permit for your city and schedules every required inspection.

Step 4: Framing & Rough-Ins

Framing, plumbing rough-in, and electrical rough-in happen first, followed by the city’s rough-in inspection before any wall closes up.

Step 5: Insulation, Drywall & Finish Carpentry

Interior walls get insulated, moisture-resistant backer-board goes up around the tub, drywall is hung and textured, and trim goes in.

Step 6: Fixtures, Tile & Finish Work

Tub/shower surround, tile or LVP flooring, vanity, countertop, and fixtures are installed, followed by paint.

Step 7: Final Walkthrough, Inspection & Warranty

The city signs off on final inspection, we walk the finished bathroom with you, and your 2-year builder’s warranty starts.

What Does Basement Bathroom Finishing Cost?

Bathrooms cost more per square foot than any other room in a basement finish.

Every basement is priced from your floor plan and finish choices. Send us your floor plan for a ballpark estimate, then a detailed bid after the walk-through.

What actually moves the number:

Whether your basement already has a plumbing stub-out or needs new lines cut into the slab
Whether the drain layout requires a sewage ejector pump (more common in older homes near American Fork and Lehi’s original town centers)
Vanity size and countertop material (granite/quartz remnant vs. a full slab)
Tile vs. LVP/LVT flooring
Standard 42” vanity vs. the 48” upgrade
Semi-Euro vs. full-Euro glass shower enclosure

We don’t quote basement bathrooms off a price sheet, every project is different. Request a free estimate for pricing based on your actual basement.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to add a bathroom to a basement in Utah County? +

That is more than any other basement room because of the plumbing and electrical work. Send us your floor plan and we can give you an estimate in about 15 minutes.

Do I need a permit to add a bathroom to my basement? +

Yes, in all four Utah County cities we serve. Any new bathroom plumbing or wiring requires a permit, with inspections at framing, mechanical/electrical/plumbing rough-in, and final. Millgate pulls the permit and handles every inspection.

Can you add a bathroom to a basement that’s still unfinished? +

Yes. We can rough in and finish just the bathroom while leaving the rest of the space unfinished for later, it’s common for homeowners to do the bathroom first and finish the rest in phases.

Will my basement bathroom need a sewage ejector pump? +

It depends on where your home’s main drain line sits relative to your basement floor. Older homes near American Fork’s and Lehi’s original town centers often have a single drain line above the basement slab, which means a sewage ejector pump is needed to push waste up to it. Newer homes across Saratoga Springs and Eagle Mountain typically already have a below-grade drain stubbed in, so a gravity-fed connection is often possible instead.

Does a basement bathroom add value, or does it just add cost? +

A bathroom is one of the few basement additions that changes how a space can be used, it turns a finished basement into a legitimate guest suite or in-law space rather than just an extra family room. It’s also one of the most expensive additions per square foot, so it’s worth thinking about whether your basement’s use case actually calls for one.

Are you licensed and insured? +

Yes. Millgate Homes is a licensed, insured general contractor.

Do you offer a warranty? +

Yes, every Millgate project, bathrooms included, comes with a 2-year builder’s warranty on all work and materials.

Do you serve all of Utah County? +

Yes. Along with American Fork, Lehi, Saratoga Springs, and Eagle Mountain, we regularly finish basement bathrooms throughout the rest of Utah County.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I rarely write reviews but I think I need to in this case. This company was excellent to work with. Initially I didn't know exactly what I wanted to do with the basement, but I had ideas. When Eric came over I discussed it with him and he clarified a few things for me and I felt we ended up with a really nice design. He put me in the queue and once I was in, it was like clockwork. Everything was on time, professional, and high quality. I had plenty of help picking out colors and making decisions. After a couple of years and after working with a different contractor for a different project, I look back on the experience with a lot of appreciation. I highly recommend this company

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When we decided to finish our basement, we received many bids from various contractors. Eric from Millgate Homes stood out because he was very professional and he gave us a very competitive and detailed bid. Eric is very knowledgeable and he guided us on different options through out the project. Eric has a wonderful team of subcontractors who are very professional and did a great job. Eric and Mitch were very responsive to all the questions we had. Also, Mitch gave us periodic updates on the cost and kept us informed. Towards the end some the subcontractors fell sick, but Eric made sure the work got completed on time. We are glad we chose to work with Millgate Homes and would highly recommend them!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We received bids from a number of different contractors and not only did Millgate provide the most comprehensive, but it was also very competitive. Our neighbors chose another contractor and started a month before us on their basement finish and Millgate finished a month before them! We would definitely recommend them.
