The Discovery Phase: Understanding Your Vision
Every great basement remodel begins with a conversation. NOCO Accents starts by understanding:
- Your family’s needs
- Your design preferences
- Your long-term goals
- Your budget
- Any challenges your basement may have (moisture, low ceilings, layout issues)
Site Evaluation & Professional Recommendations
After understanding your goals, we conduct a thorough on-site assessment. During this critical phase, our experts identify structural, electrical, and plumbing needs essential for finishing a basement in Colorado, where soil conditions, moisture control, and code requirements vary by region.
To enhance the accuracy of our measurements, we utilize a state-of-the-art LiDar scanning system. This advanced technology allows us to obtain precise measurements of everything it scans, further aiding in the assessment process.
During this stage, the team evaluates:
- Foundation condition
- Moisture or water intrusion
- Electrical and HVAC capacity
- Ceiling height and layout
- Egress window requirements
- Load-bearing structures
- Existing plumbing lines
This comprehensive evaluation helps us prevent common basement issues early, saving you time, money, and stress later.
Concept Development: Turning Ideas Into a Visual Plan
This is where the magic truly begins. During the concept development phase, NOCO Accents transforms your ideas into a clear, visual direction by creating detailed 3D renderings, customized layout options, and curated style recommendations. These visuals allow you to see exactly how your finished basement will look long before construction begins. The collaborative process covers every design element from space planning and room flow optimization to accent wall concepts, lighting solutions, flooring selections, custom storage ideas, and complete color palettes and finishes. With expert guidance throughout, the design team helps you make confident decisions, ensuring your new basement blends beauty, function, and comfort seamlessly.
Transparent Pricing & Written Estimates
One of the biggest advantages of working with NOCO Accents is their commitment to honest, transparent pricing, something that truly sets them apart from many basement remodel contractors.

This straightforward approach eliminates confusion and helps prevent the dreaded “surprise bill” scenario, giving you full confidence in your investment from the very start.
