"Basement Renovation. Work began on Feb 3. The Government imposed a work stoppage due to Covid-19 on Mar 22. Work resumed on May 15. Work completed on Jun 8. Proworks did an outstanding job renovating our basement. John and his team efficiently completed each phase providing design tips and suggestions along the way as we requested changes here and there during the build process. We would use Proworks again and highly recommend them!"

"Lilco was a great company to work with! They are easy to communicate with and answered all of my questions and concerns. They are reliable and trustworthy. My kitchen and bathroom came out better than I could have imagined. I couldn’t be happier and hope to be able to remodel my other bathroom in the near future."

"I have no skills or vision when it comes to construction, so there was no way I was going to attempt any part or function to finish my basement myself. There is so much involved with finishing a basement that the actual thought of getting it done was exhausting! John and his team made the large task to finish a basement easy! John has the skillsets to do the work and orchestrate different contractors with various skillsets to get each phase of the construction done. Proworks Interiors is very professional and know what they are doing. It was a great relief that they were able to make something that seemed impossible, possible in a matter of a few months."

"My husband and I are beyond grateful to All-Star contractors for doing an excellent job on finishing/remodelling our basement. We never imagined that our basement will look this good despite the small size (we live in a townhome). Every space was made functional. Bill (the contractor) is very fair, always listen and give recommendations as needed. The price is appropriate for the excellent work done. Bill's crew is very hardworking and takes pride in his work - making sure that we will be pleased and always asked if there is anything or issue that needs to be addressed. We are in the process of lining up our next project with Bill. We will definitely not settle for another company for any work we need whether it is something minor or major. If you are looking for someone trustworthy - we will definitely recommend Bill without a doubt."

Customers say: True professional

"Inson is an excellent person to work with. He puts in the time to make sure that he understands what you want and then is able to translate that into incredible design work. Every single person who has entered our apartment post-reno has commented on how amazing it looks. We were very lucky to find him and benefit from his expertise as well as the great contractor and team of builders he works with. Also, when he says he comes in on time and on budget, he means it - we had a very tight window for renovation and everything was finished on time as promised. Highly recommend."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Middletown, 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.
