"They came on time every day, cleaned up before they left. Clean work. One or two aesthetic issues that were resolved after I pointed them out. "

"The whole experience was wonderful. Thank you Briken, they came in after another contractor left my kitchen job because I caught them not doing what they were supposed to do. His team cleaned up and corrected all mistakes then finished the job ahead of schedule and still within our budget. I am so happy to have them and will definitely be using them for my upcoming bathroom project!"

"Peter really was the key to getting my deck in shape. Many boards were rotted or splintered and I wanted to replace just those. He convinced me that the results would not be good if over half the boards were different. I replaced the entire deck. PJP's price was competetive. The workmen were highly qualified and dedicated and did a clean and efficient job. Especially nice job on a new set of stairs from the deck to a patio. Highly satisfied and easy to work with all around."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in New-York, 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.
