"Larry's performance places him head and shoulders above any of his competition in the Western NY area. <br /> From the beginning to the end it was a very professional experience. Larry came to my house to survey a complete bathroom remodeling project. At the conclusion of the survey Larry provided me with a thorough estimate of materials and labor. In addition to that he guided me on material selections and options I had not considered. <br /> During the project Larry overcame some significant challenges with plumbing and structural problems that were not evident during the survey. At each step of the way Larry provided me with daily updates. <br /> In the end I was extremely pleased with the results <br /> I highly recommend this contractor for any home improvement project, and I plan to use him again. <br />"

"The whole process was painless and even exciting at times.  The entire crew was both professional and friendly.  Tom and Jon were very open to our concerns and suggestions and willing to go the extra mile to ensure that we were satisfied.  The project took six full days, which were performed consecutively.  It was an amazing transformation in a relatively short period of time. <br /> If I have any crawlspace, basement or foundation work to be done in the future, I will certainly be giving Southern Tier Basement Systems a call. <br />"

"I got a quote from them and I said, "Yes. Let's go through with it," but they never called me back, so I don't know, They never followed up with me like they said. I had to call them and told me to get back to me in a couple of days but that was two weeks ago. I like everything about them. The guy was great, punctual, seemed very knowledgeable, we talked about concrete, concrete treatments. They did say they have a lot of work to do but get back to me, maybe I just had a small project."

"Mr. Loweth did **** of a great job. He was very professional, kept me informed of the progress, consulted me whenever decisions needed to be made, provided valuable advice, and carried out the work in the best possible way. Being a fantastic artist in another life, he had a sharp eye for detecting problems and creative ways for solving them. I found him to be extremely hardworking and he had great work ethics. The awesome part of having him do all these things was that he ended up doing far more than he had promised. I wasn't expecting all the things that he did to make my deck and porch look fantastic. In addition, he even fixed things that he saw needed small repairs without me even asking him to fix them at no extra charge. He paid attention to details and aesthetics. His work was of excellent quality. He is easily the best professional I have employed at my house. I highly recommend him. Super guy!!!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Corning, 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.
