"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."

"We are currently happy with the basement waterproofing and remodeling that was completed! There were issues - most minor but we haven't anything to compare as this was the first-time having contractors complete basement work for us; and our home is almost 100 years old. They were flexible given unexpected issues that came about with the basement. The water proofing was done first and they did a great job. They were happy to review and resolve any remaining questions/concerns and/or issues. Jorge in the service dept. is professional, punctual and is a great representative and asset for this company."

"My wife and I hired Joseph and Sons to remodel our basement. Angelo was accommodating and transparent with us at all times, suggesting solutions for each of the ideas and challenges we had, from fixing the homeâ s foundation, to custom creating our bay window, to matching our staircase and floor finish. They took the time to explain all the options within our budget and talk through each with us to make sure we were happy with the direction of the project each step of the way. His team is respectful and skilled, and there was constant communication regarding timeline, as well as arrival and departure times for each day of work. Attention to detail and a desire to make us happy were constantly present and I always felt like I was the only project they were working on; I would hire them again and recommend to my family and friends."

"Carmello is great. After a flood ruined my basement these guys completely repaired and renovated the space including new french drains, vinyl sheeting behind the drywall, dry locked the window wells and caulked all necessary gaps. Not cheap but they knew exactly what they were doing and since our area has had several storms w record rainfall and my basement has been bone dry. Would use them again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend."

"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."

"Mike and Asher were phenomenal. We did a basement remodel. Our basement was totally unfinished, and in a matter of weeks, it was turned into a beautiful area. We strongly recommend them for any work you need done, they are transparent, easy to work with, and talented! 5 stars all of the way!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Mountain Lakes, 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.
