"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."

"I hired Albert and his team to install approx 850 sq feet of flooring throughout my house and to refinish staircase. Albert offered great customer services with helping me to decide on what exactly to have done and went out of his way to drive to different stores across NJ to get extra boxes of flooring. His team were all nice, respectful, professional and timely. I would definitely hire them again and/or recommend to my friends and family."

"Eddie and his crew did a great job on our full master bath remodel. We had it completely gutted and everything redone. I recommend them not only for the quality of work, but for the small things which set them apart from other contractors. The whole crew and all his subs worked extremely clean, they covered everything and cleaned up each day. All the workers were extremely nice and very respectful to us and our home and considerate to the fact we had a toddler running around. They have excellent attention to detail and did not cut any corners. Eddie gave us a lot of ideas through the whole process. We even had a snag at the very end with the tub fauceti bought not fitting, I was even willing to buy a new one to avoid any delays but Eddie and his plumber saw it through to the very end. The only critique I have is the communication was a little last minute sometimes. We wouldn't always know if they were working the next day until late the night before. Regardless I will be calling them for my next project and recommend you do also."

"Your search is over! This IS the guy. If you’re still looking for a contractor for your renovation project you can stop searching. We hired Matt and his team for our renovations and we could not be happier. We put in new floors throughout, a brand new kitchen including cabinets, countertops, sink, plumbing and appliances, new light fixtures and ceiling fans and painted all the ceilings, walls and woodwork. The entire project was done exactly to our specifications; came in on budget with absolutely no surprises and was completed earlier than we could have imagined. Matt’s entire team is totally professional. They arrive on time every day and clean up at the end of the day before leaving. So, stop looking and get your project started with The Finish Guys. We guarantee you will be thrilled with the results."

"We had Tom and his crew remodel our small master bathroom a couple of years ago and invited him back to do our kitchen remodel. Tom and his crew are incredible. They are very professional, considerate, and clean. They do the job right and don't cut corners. His pricing is fair and I would be happy to use them again on my next project."

"We hired Rockefeller Contracting to handle a room addition for my mom, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From the initial consultation to the final touches, Dennis and his team were reliable and able to adapt and resolve all the unexpected surprises that arose from an 80 year old home. We highly recommend Dennis to anyone in need of a home renovation or construction services. Thank you, the final project turned out great!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Lakehurst, 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.
