"Overall I was very happy with Frank and his team from GMZ Contracting. They showed up when they were supposed to, were friendly and respectful and did beautiful work. They installed knotty pine in my bedroom and did the flooring for the upstairs bedroom."

"Jesse did a great job installing the under cabinet lighting I got my wife as a present. He installed the new LED under kitchen cabinet lights which included installtion of the low voltage transformer/converter and light switch/dimmer. His experience was evident with his selection of dimmer switch location and optimum running of wiring to cover both sides of the kitchen cabinets."

"I can’t say enough good things about John Sala Construction. This is not the first time they have done work for me and I have always been happy. Quality of work is incredible, communication is great and they are so easy to work with. My husband and I built an apartment onto our house with a basement underneath it. Everything proceeded in a timely manor and John always took time to answer my questions. I HIGHLY recommend them."

"I hired Robert to remodel a bathroom and replaced 9 doors, they did the work, was neat an clean, my front door will not stay open, did not finish base board molding in living room, I paid him because we trusted him, I have been trying since April 2020 to get him back to complete the work and I can not get him back. Update: Since this was written he did come back but due to Covid we're looking forward to getting this complete May 2021."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Cragsmoor, 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.
