"Revive Renovators just finished our basement renovation, and the experience exceeded our expectations. The most impressive aspect of working with them was their incredible problem solving skills. Our basement had several unforeseen issues (our home is 100 years old), but the team came up with and patiently talked us through our options and the pros and cons of each. Communication was another key strength. They kept us in the loop on a regular basis. Their patience and willingness to work closely with us let us know we were valued. We couldn’t be happier!"

"We contracted Southside Builders to finish our basement, and we could not have been more pleased with our experience. Neal is very professional, responds quickly, and delivers quality work. He let us know everyday when to expect him and always showed up on time. We were told at the start of our project that our basement would take 4-6 weeks to complete and it was completed within that time frame (which never happens!). We will definitely use Southside Builders for our future projects and highly recommend them to our friends and neighbors."

"We hired Russell Renovation to finish a 1300 sq ft unfinished basement. Tim, Seth and the crew exceeded my expectations. We hired them based on reading reviews online, we had 1 recommendation from a friend of a friend, and after meeting Tim he showed us 2 basements he did. They created a beautiful downstairs living space. The basement has numerous rooms - bedroom, bathroom, weight room, family room and playroom. Here are some things we would highlight based on our experience: - High Quality: the craftsmanship and attention to detail was great. My wife and I are both anal engineers. They did not disappoint. - Very Clean: they took great care to keep the entire house clean. They covered our floors at the beginning of each day and removed them at the end of each day. They used vacuums systems to minimize dust. Every day they would clean up the basement. - Professional and Courteous: All around great people to work with. Not the stereotypical contractors. Very respectful and courteous. - Works With Your Ideas: He took our ideas and enhanced them. He was open to different concepts. Helped us create an awesome layout. They are very creative. There experience buying basements was huge. - Great Contacts For Supplies - Tim told us he recommends people and businesses who have met his high expectations before. The tile retailer and cabinet retailer were very helpful. - Built Ins - Tim and Seth made some beautiful built ins. They did a built-in-the-wall aquarium, built in entertainment center, and built in storage cabinets in playroom. Impressive craftsmanship. Huge attention grabbers when people see the basement. - Cost: the cost was inline with what we expected for a quality basement. We did not know Tim and Seth before, but after they left, we felt like they were our friends. Great guys. Very trustworthy. We highly recommend them for basements or other home renovations. We will be calling them back to renovate our dining room next."

"We LOVE our finished basement. Chris Perkins is flexible, dependable, approachable, and reasonable. Chris and everyone he employs or with whom he contracts are professional, tidy, and do fantastic work. My children and I were at home for the majority of the time the work was being done and I was 100% comfortable with all of the workers in & around our house. We will call Chris for any future work on our home, and encourage anyone looking for a contractor to do the same."

"I've worked in contracting of over 40 years, mostly commercial.   I was very impressed with Utech.   The crews were very professional.   Daily there was a supervisor who was very experienced and directed the crew with professionalism.  They protected all of my existing surfaces, cleaned up the areas nightly, and were very sensitive to the owner.   Very polite, well mannered.  When additional labor was needed, additional crews were brought in.    The owner stopped by twice along with a traveling supervisor.   Very labor intensive, but they did everything perfectly. <br />"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Buffalo, 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.
