Between the workmanship, communication, dedication to show up on time, when they said they would, I would highly reccomend B LaGrassa Construction. "

"WOW!! Lew and his team at Weitzman Renovations are fantastic! If I could give 10 stars, I would!  They just completed work, and it feels like we have a new home! They renovated our basement and got rid of longstanding cat smell.  They sanded our oak floors and applied a water-based poly with no smell that looks beautiful and adds light to our house. They brought in plumbers and electricians to fix lots of problems and their carpenters replaced our screen doors.  Now we just walk around the house and smile! If you want to ensure your house project(s) are done correctly and beautifully, look no further. I highly recommend Lew’s team at Weitzman Renovations!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in East Boston, MA

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.
