"It was great to work with Tony. The crew that came to the house was professional and very courteous. The quality of the work is excellent. We are very happy with the remodeling done by Craftsmen Construction & Design LLC. I have already hired them to do more work around the house."

"We renovated our kitchen in our 1920s Tudor home in Fairport Village. We found Piccirillo Enterprises, which is really Tony Piccirillo and his crew, on Angie's list and used a coupon for a consultation and estimate for kitchen redesign. Tony works with a designer who visited our home, measured and drew up plans for our kitchen. Tony reviewed the plans and provided an estimate. We were pleased with the design and felt Tony's estimate was fair, so we went ahead with the project. Tony and his team were very professional and their work was high quality. We could not be more pleased with our new kitchen. Tony's quote was very transparent and he invoiced the work as it was completed. We found the whole team to be trustworthy and courteous, which is obviously important when you have a crew of workers in your home on a daily basis for several weeks. We would (and probably will) hire Tony again for other projects in our home."

"Jessie and Rob did excellent work. They built a master bath from scratch. Space was a walk in closet. They ran drainage pipes, water lines, electrical, floor and shower tiles. Everything! The other bath and powder room were remodeled with tub, vanities, tiles, sinks, toilets, everything. Rob gave us a thorough estimate and once we signed the contract, they handled all the permits, inspections, dumpster delivery and removal, supply house needs, etc. All construction was fast, professional, and Jessie insisted on reviewing each days progress with us. The job took several weeks to complete but we were never inconvenienced by the construction work. If you are contemplating any remodeling, do yourself a favor and call these guys. You will not be disappointed."

"Josh is professional, creative and very talented. Josh is a perfectionist and treated our kitchen and basement/bathroom remodel like it was his own. His pricing was more than fair with no hidden surprises. He transformed our house to what we wanted it to be and my wife and I couldn't be happier with the finished product. This was our first major home renovation and he helped us make decisions the entire process. We will certainly hire JL again and have already been recommending him to family and friends!!!!"

"Dan and crew helped us with our basement remodel. They installed an egress window and made our basement a living space for our growing family. We love the additional space and use it daily. We even made part of it a home office! They did a phenomenal job, we will definitely use them again for any future projects. Love the outcome and can tell Dan and crew love what they do."

"My project included: tearing up 30+ year old rugs, installing vinyl planks, ripping out horrible wood paneling along the walls and replacing with drywall, and taking out and adjusting the ceiling panel framework from 2x4 to 2x2. I would recommend Schultz & Sons to anyone I know and would hire again. Doug was very professional and honest to work with. I trusted what he told me and believed that he was looking out for the best interest of the basement project I was having done. He was able to fit my basement project in to his schedule within a short period of time. They were prompt, clean and overall I believed that they cared about the quality of their work which is what any homeowner should want in someone they hire."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Fairport, 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.
