"J.B contracting did an excellent job. He came over and went over the project with me and explained what he was going to do to transform my unfinished basement into my dream cave . He did previous work for my neighbor and also did an excellent job . He gave me the quote for the job which was very reasonable. We agreed and he got right to work . Justin and his partner took extreme pride doing the job right and making sure he went over everything with me as he did it . He wanted to make sure I liked the progress . That never happens with contractors as they just do the job and hope you like it . He made my dreams come true and exceeded my expectations . I would recommend J.B contracting for your future remodels ! "

"My kitchen was in bad need updating! Cliff walked me through my options and helped us decide on the best course of action while staying within our budget. We appreciated his clear communication, timeliness, and efficiency. He even helped us decide on the best color scheme for our kitchen that would complement the rest of house! Love our final results!"

"I had a great experience with this company. They were honest, hard working and met with me weekly to discuss continued plans for my bathroom remodels. Great attention to detail, great communication and they even let my dog out each day. I would highly recommend this company for your home renovations. They worked with me to keep to a sensible budget as well."

"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!!!!"

"I want to start out by saying Doug and his sons are very pleasant and their workmanship is good. It became obvious we took a back seat to another customer, whom he referred to as his “bread and butter”, and he withdrew his commitment to do extra work, that we had agreed upon early at the onset of the job. My “finished” basement was left unfinished, doors and window were not trimmed out, like was discussed. Every day they showed up at 9:30 and left at 3:30 with a lunch break, never put in a full days work. The clean up was poor. We had our ceiling painted black (a whole other story), and after sanding, my husband had to go through and clean EVERY board and duct work to clear the white dust from the sanding of the drywall, One wall was completely covered in dust and all walls had to be cleaned before painting, although Doug said he would leave it “paint ready”. There was drywall mud was on the floor and top of the drywall. Doug knew we were having flooring installed the following week, so the floor should have been cleaned of debris, not just swept. I am very happy with the framing and drywall, but UNHAPPY with the “finish”. I felt like I was filling a void in their work schedule so they were readily available to start the job, and the when more work came in, I took a back seat. The last day they rushed through and were gone by noon, when some of my extras could have been fit and more attention to detail could have been given. My husband has some repairs to do as a result of their haste. Also I had to pay additional for materials because of poor estimating."

"After interviewing several contractors for our home addition, it was clear that Jason was the right choice. From our first meeting, he was incredibly responsive, offering professional expertise and answering every question. He built a master suite and office above our attached garage, seamlessly integrating them into our existing floor plan. Jason’s cost and timeline estimates were remarkably accurate, and he genuinely cared about the project from start to finish. His team and subcontractors were professional, kept the site clean, and stayed on schedule. Due to architecture delays outside Jason’s control, construction began a bit later than we hoped. We brought a newborn home just seven days after construction began, but Jason and his crew were exceptionally thoughtful and respectful of our family. Jason was onsite frequently and always available to address questions. We were so impressed with the quality that we even added a smaller project during the build. We highly recommend him!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Henrietta, 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.
