"Gary is the epitome of trash, he will use his job title of Fire department chief to persuade you that he is for the community and the people. He has not held up his end of the bargain and quite frankly i think he took advantage of my elder mom and crippled father. He fell short on nearly everything- he hasn?t come back to rectify any of the problems that were brought to his attention and at this time nearly everyone in my house hold is walking in the kitchen with shoes and slippers because the tiles he layed down are cracked and the grout didn?t last more than a month !! He has lied on several occasions and said someone would be here. I have went to his office on multiple occasions as i work across the street. His son told me someone would be back in a month to rectify. Nothing is more disappointing than putting your savings or hard earned money towards something faulty. Gary if your reading this i have absolutely no clue how you sleep at night "

Rioza General Contractor LLC is a trusted General Contractor in NJ specializing in high-quality residential and commercial remodeling. From home renovations to business space makeovers, we deliver exceptional results with precision and expertise.

"We hired Carlos Herrera of Rioza Construction in Feb 2024 for a major renovation and second-story addition under a Fannie Mae 203K loan. The home was move-in ready?just small for our family. Now it?s severely damaged from partial excavation, demo, and unnecessary removal of molding and walls. After a year-long variance process, in October of 2025 we were ready to build, Rioza demanded an extra $40K for ?inflation.? We asked for an accounting of the $84K advanced for materials?none provided. Quotes passed off as receipts were confirmed fraudulent by suppliers. No materials delivered, no phases completed, and we failed foundation inspection. HUD consultant documented everything; bank refused to release additional funds to Rioza Construction. Work has stalled for 6+ weeks, contractor name on Home Improvement license not Carlos Herrera's, belongs to someone we?ve never met. BUYERS BEWARE: Do NOT hire Rioza Construction. Verify licenses, demand receipts, and proceed with extreme caution."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Hightstown, 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.
