Welcome to Upstate N.Y. Home Renovations, LLC! I have 30 years of experience! No job is too big, or too small! I love what I do and provide 100 percent customer service! Give me a call right now and I promise you will not be disappointed!

"I hired Upstate to replace my kitchen cabinets, install a new dishwasher (the house did not have one before), and install a new microwave above my oven. George (the owner of the company) removed my old cabinets, and installed everything in only a week. I was impressed with how quickly he got it done. His workmanship is top notch too, so I could not be happier with how beautiful my kitchen looks. The dishwasher and microwave also work flawlessly. The best part is that I did not break the bank for this project. In fact, I was quoted $4k less than I was expecting. I would definitely hire Upstate again, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for someone with quality workmanship that will complete a job quickly and for a very fair price."

"We hired lions den for hardwood floor refinishing and a custom staircase railing. They did an amazing job!! I highly recommend and I support their modesty. I have worked with many contractors, who have the tendency to overcharge, price up material costs, and do the project their way. These guys didn't. They made sure the project was on our terms! Super easy to work with!! "

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Cicero, 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.
