"Gary was wonderful to work with from the start - as first time home buyers new to big projects, we had a steep learning curve and he was very helpful and patient throughout the planning process. He was communicative through each step as well, providing timely updates and keeping everything organized. We also had nothing but positive experiences with the two other guys on the project. Jon and Josh were friendly, helpful, and professional, and we always felt very comfortable having them in our house. Not to mention the quality of all the work was phenomenal! We love our new kitchen and are so glad we had such a competent crew on the job."

"I had the best luck, that Hawkeyez Construction worked on a neighbors house, and so I got connected to them for my own home remodeling. They did an amazing and thoughtful job remodeling a very aged bathroom that had been put in my walkout basement by handyman types in the 80's. The plumbing and electrical and framing were wrong, and there were leaks, and it was just terrible. I now have a beautiful full bath with all of the issues fixed and Carl and his team of electricians, painters, tilers and other professionals was top notch. Thanks to Carl. his son, Justin for tiling, the Enriques' for painting and a host of other very skilled professionals, my basement bath and painting projects and other baths around my place are done, and I can look around and be amazed by how wonderful everything looks now!!"

"Jason, Jude, and their team did an exceptional job on my kitchen remodel. When my circa-1951 cabinets started literally falling apart, I knew it was time for an overhaul and immediately knew I wanted to hire MQC because I had seen their work recently as my sister had hired them to remodel her kitchen last summer. Jason and Jude came to my house to measure the space and come up with a new layout and when we met up again a couple weeks later I was thrilled with the design. The whole kitchen was stripped down to the studs and every challenge that a 75 year old kitchen presented was handled with professionalism and quality solutions with both safety and aesthetics in mind. I was able to choose exactly the finishes I wanted and the project came in pretty much right on budget (aside from some unforeseen electrical issues). Every subcontractor was friendly and courteous. 8 weeks later I had a brand new, absolutely gorgeous kitchen that I am super proud to show off! Highly recommend!"

"I couldn’t be any happier with the work done by Endor Group Inc and would highly recommend them. Dane is everything you could possibly hope for in a contractor: 1. He is honest. If he wasn’t 100% confident that he could complete the task, he has expert resources he could reach out to or sub contract through to make sure that job is done right. 2. He has all the right tools to complete the job and do it neatly. 3. He is very meticulous. I thought I was OCD, but everything Dane did was done perfectly, and if anything needed fixed he would do whatever he had to in order to get it done right. 4. He is punctual. This is probably the biggest one for me. It was such a relief to work with Dane because his communication was impeccable. He actually showed up when he said he would, but if something changes he will let you know as far in advance as he can. I can’t thank Dane and Endor Group enough for helping my wife and I turn this into the house we’ve always dreamed of!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Brighton, NY

Finishing a basement turns unused square footage into livable space and returns up to 70% of what you spend when you sell your home. Beyond that resale boost, you gain a playroom, home office, or guest suite you can start enjoying right away. That mix of daily comfort and solid return on investment (ROI) makes basement finishing one of the smartest upgrades you can tackle.

In some parts of the country—especially lots on swamps, high water tables, or other wetlands—local codes prohibit basements. Saturated soil puts constant pressure on foundation walls and lets water seep in faster than any sump pump can handle. 

If your property sits on waterlogged ground, building on a slab or crawl space is often safer, more affordable, and code-compliant.

Most basements wrap up in four to eight weeks. Framing takes three to five days, with electrical and plumbing rough-ins following over the next week. Add five days for drywall, two to three for flooring, and another week for paint, trim, and punch-list items. 

Delays can happen if materials run late or your contractor’s calendar is packed, so build in a little cushion when you plan.

Whether a finished basement counts toward your home’s official square footage depends on local rules. Many areas only include below-grade space if it has code-approved egress, fully finished walls, ceilings, and floors, plus consistent heating. 

Check with your local assessor or building department before you start; meeting those standards can affect taxes, appraisals, and resale value.

Building codes require a checklist: dedicated heat and electrical service, a code-approved stairway, and at least one egress window or exterior door. Walls, ceilings, and floors must be fully finished and meet insulation, ventilation, and fire-separation standards. If you add a bedroom, you’ll also need a closet, proper clearances, and safe exits. If you change the layout later, be ready to update the space so every new room still meets today’s code.
