"It is, by nature, a messy job but Patrick and his team handled it well. He also suggested a few improvements to the design and completed them under the existing contract. Lots of positive feedback from friends. Cleanup was amazing and exhaustive."

"I needed complete drywall replacement in my garage, ceiling and walls. I did not know Southside Builders prior to hiring them for this project. The owner, Neil Dylag, showed up for the initial evaluation when he said he would. He provided a timely estimate. We agreed to a start date and estimated completion date. This project started and finished as scheduled with no additional charges or change orders. His solutions to the couple of glitches we had were sound and better than my recommendations. I found Neil to be an extremely hard working and honest businessman. I'm satisfied with the job and recommend him to your project."

"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 />"

"Chuck was very professional, punctual and thorough. His report covered all my concerns and more. He had helpful unbiased suggestions to improve our home pertaining to any basement leaks and grounds around the home which set our minds at ease concerning our cracks in the basement floor. He looked over the whole house. He is a licensed PE ENGINEER NY and Home Inspector NY State. He has both licenses at this writing. I verified both through NY State. Cost 475."

"They do a high quality job.  However, the owner is over booked and is over busy.  They took a long time to finish.  They estimated 6 weeks and it ended up being 12 weeks.  That was the only drawback.  We chose them for their high quality work."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Colden, 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.
