"During the initial quote process Tom was very knowledgeable and put together a great plan for basement remodeling. My basement was transformed from the style of 50's to a modern basement that I can enjoy with my family. The staff was friendly and worked diligently 6 days a week without interrupting to my day. I received updates through the project from Tom on the progress. The company provided completive rates and this was the best money spent. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for quality work, your will not be disappointed."

"I was in desperate need to replace my broilers because my heating system was not working as well as it should have been. Luckily American Home Remodeling are able to find me more efficient options at a reasonable price. They updated the entire heating system for all the floors of my house, updated all the electrical switches necessary and even included the clean up for the job. They handled all the permits necessary so my house was up to code as well. The entire job was done within a shorter period than I anticipated and they remained in contact with me throughout the entire process so I was aware of what was happening. I'm definitely going to use them in the near future when I finish my basement."

"Not only was Cesar quick and efficient, he is extremely thorough and his pricing is extremely reasonable and fair. He often went out of his way to fix things that he noticed was amiss from previous contractors. Once he remodeled my bathroom, I was so thrilled with his job that I contracted him to do my kitchen (which is also AMAZING). Highly HIGHLY recommended. I've already recommended him to at least a half dozen people, and a few of them have already hired him."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Irvington, 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.
