"I would highly recommend Homestead Renovations. . They came into a bad situation due to another contractor not knowing what he was doing , but I couldn't have been more pleased with there work . They were extremely knowledgeable. They went above and beyond , and I couldn't have asked for a better group of guys to complete my projects. They had to redo the railings in my house due to the other guy not knowing how to and I I couldn't be more pleased"

"Greg and his crew were the greatest. His team was professional, knowledgeable, and informative throughout the entire process. They tackled all the obstacles that arose with an older home and finished on time even with all the extra projects we added on during the course of the remodel. I look forward to working with them again in the future with other projects, and would highly recommend them to anyone needing an honest, reliable contractor."

"This is a fantastic organization. I wish I could give more than 5 stars because my experience was the best I have ever had working with a contractor. The Project Manager (Josh) was always available for questions from us and available for the installers. He was a very knowledgeable individual. Management (Todd) was very visible during our installation and this entire organization gave more than 100% in the completion of our installation. I just hope that if and when we have future needs it will be within this organization's realm. I have been spoiled and cannot imagine working with any other contractor for any of our future needs."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Camillus, 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.
