"We love our basement remodel. Peter, Alex and his team were here when they said theyâ d be here, completed the job as described, and kept us updated along the way. The basement now looks and feels clean and bright. The additional space doesnâ t feel like a basement at all and is enjoyed by the whole family. We highly recommend Lux Renovations."

"When I decided to remodel my master bathroom I knew immediately to call Matt, the owner of The Finish Guys. It was not the first time I have hired and used Matt and his team and probably won't be my last. Without a doubt, Matt is one of the nicest, kindest, and considerate business owner. He was meticulous with helping me plan every detail of my remodeling. He was by far one of the most reliable, trustworthy, and reasonable contractor I have ever used. Matt was amazing communicating me through the entire process and was always available when needed. I am beyond thrilled with the work Matt and his team did. Thank you Matt for making my dream bathroom come to life. I am so incredibly happy to have selected you."

"We needed the playroom in the basement to be refreshed: new floor, windows and paint. We also added a custom closet and had the central AC ducts encased. We had already hired BAS Construction a few years ago to finish part of the basement, and wanted the playroom to match. We were again very pleased with the results. The various crews showed up on time and the work site was kept clean. The work was completed within the promised time frame. Ali and Sina were easy to work with and very professional, from planning the project to completion. They came up with great suggestions. We would highly recommend hiring them."

"Domenick is a professional craftsman. He kept to a tight schedule, always showed up on time and did a great job. He gave us creative ideas that would work in our space. Domenick and his team were pleasant to work with. From the moment they entered our home they worked a full day and showed up everyday. Domenick enjoys and takes pride in his work. We are extremely pleased with the final result. Our basement bathroom was transformed into an oasis with a spa feel. The main area in the basement and hallway leading to the basement was also transformed into a warm, welcoming living space. The work he performed in 3 weeks was: Build a new shower/tile with a design/create a shower bench/install shower panel/tile behind the vanity with the design trim/install the vanity/move plumbing, gas and electrical for the shower and vanity with light fixture/tile the floor/install a stackable washer and dryer/build out a wall to divide the storage area and heat unit/install a sliding barn door/paint the bathroom, main room and hallway up to the kitchen door/ installed 3 windows, an air conditioner and installed recessed lighting in the bathroom/installed interlocking vinyl flooring in the storage area, main room and stairs (repaired two broken stairs and lots of extras, e.g. installed a lighting fixture in the hallway by the stair landing, a make up/shaving mirror in the bathroom, installed window treatments and assembled a 70 inch TV storage cabinet). We have booked him for future projects. We highly recommend Domenick and his team."

"American Home Remodeling was absolutely stupendous to work with. I reside in Irvington and needed vinyl siding and 3 windows replaced to my home. Victor, Kelvin and their team of workers were efficient, service-oriented, and professional from the pre-planning stages- through the completion of the project. I highly recommend their services. Their work was clean, and gave my home a tremendous, refreshed look. A BIG thank you to Vic, Kelvin and the American Home Remodeling team. You guys are ROCKSTARS!!!!!"

"Cesar remodeled our basement, and we cannot be happier with his work! He worked with us the whole way to make sure we were happy with the work. He even put a custom wine rack in. The new basement is so beautiful and we get so many compliments. He has done work for us before and he does excellent work, is always available and easy to reach, and has a professional and kind team of workers. Thank you Cesar!!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Hackensack, 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.
