"This company, the owner and all key members of his team were exceptionally great to work with from start to finish of our master bathroom remodel. We can’t thank Vince, Justin and Evaldo for their attention to every detail from the initial contact, selection process (the owner himself guided us through) and demo to remodel. Each member of the team made sure the project ran on time and was performed to the highest standard of excellence. All the men who came to perform the hardest of tasks were timely, courteous and respectful of our home. We have had previous unfortunate experiences with contractors that left us not knowing who to trust when considering such a major investment in our home. Angie’s List provided us with this excellent recommendation , proving its ability to stand behind its name as a brand people could trust. We wholeheartedly recommend this company to anyone who is considering the best possible return on their investment into their home. "

"Service was great from sales, to installation, to post installation support. Very responsive, very professional. It's hard to find in this 'space'--there are a lot of shady people in basement water damage/repair, and this place exceeded expectations. We've had our repair in place for 4+ years, with only 1 small issue on a wall seam crack, and that was fixed within 24 hours of reporting the issue. Stand up place! Thank you for such great service and support."

"I hired Dennis Rockefeller contracting to remodel my kitchen and add a second bathroom to my home. Any renovation can be stressful and overwhelming , but with Dennis I knew I was in good hands. Any question or concern I had - and there were many- I felt comfortable texting or calling Dennis and he would get right back to me. As far as scheduling plumber, electrician etc Dennis had that all under control as well! Dennis has 2 men working with him as well, I cannot say enough good things about them… professional, respectful of me and my home and very nice. I love my new kitchen and second bathroom Thank you Dennis "

"The team at Avstep were amazing. So friendly and helpful. They replaced our garage roof and helped us with joist work. They were right on time, were super efficient, and organized and cleaned as they were working. It was so nice to talk with them and were very upfront and honest. The whole job was explained in professional detail and gave us a quote for the job that we felt was very fair. The work started the next day and was completed in a day and a half. They are worth more than a simple 5 star. We will now be using them for the added work we are planning. You won’t be disappointed."

"Matt and his team did a phenomenal job. Going into the project, my biggest concern about hiring a contractor was reliability—I had heard too many stories about contractors not showing up or following through. Matt completely put those fears to rest. He was always available to discuss any concerns and personally visited the job site to make sure everything met my expectations. His top priority was ensuring I was happy with the work. Even months after the project was completed, when a small issue came up, Matt followed through and made sure it was corrected. I had completely gutted my kitchen, and I couldn’t be happier with the results."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Farmingdale, NJ

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.
