With over 40 years combined experience, we provide complete Basement remodeling and finishing services with Free estimates and no-nonsense pricing. We will give you the Basement you've always wanted by transforming your previously unfinished Basement into a usable and comfortable living area you can be proud of. We are known for constant communication and on-site project management.

"We recently had the pleasure of working with Basic Companies to finish our basement, and we couldn't be happier with the results! From the initial layout and permits to framing, electrical work, sheetrock, spackling, painting, and flooring, they handled every aspect of the project with utmost professionalism and expertise. Each team that came to our house was knowledgeable, hardworking, and incredibly professional. They were always responsive to our questions and ensured that we were kept informed throughout the entire process. The project was completed within the promised time frame, and to our delight, it was actually finished much earlier than expected. Our family is thrilled with the final result. The finished basement has exceeded our expectations in every way, and we are grateful to Basic Companies for their exceptional work. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled team to handle their home improvement projects."

We pride ourselves on the quality work we provide, while delivering great customer service! Check out all the services we offer below and call -or- click to schedule a free estimate today!

"Ed and Jaime basically set us up in our new home! It would have been challenging to accommodate all the things Legacy did for us through another contractor. Their work is great but above all they are just solid reliable people you can trust. I appreciate Ed’s honesty and professionalism in ensuring all the moving pieces get done. I had the opportunity to hire few other contractors for separate needs and Legacy stood out in their commitment to do right by their customers and more importantly their own people as well. Overall just a great bunch of guys who love what they do and it shows in their performance."

Classical Pavers serves both New Jersey and New York in the Tri-state area. We are masonry contractor company that specializes in the installation of outdoor living areas including paver driveways, walkways, patios, steps, stoops, retaining walls, culture stone, and fire pits. We are fully insured.

"Classical Pavers did a beautiful job replacing my front walkway! It was not a straightforward project because it was built on a steep slope with a curve. The owner Thiago, who oversees the project, was a pleasure to work with -- never used any pressure tactics, was very responsive to any questions, and gave a fair price. The two craftsmen who did the work were amazing! They arrived promptly every day, worked extremely hard, and did absolutely beautiful work. They hauled away all the old materials and tidied everything up when the job was done. We definitely would hire them again for a future project and highly recommend them."

Our mission is to service our customers in a prompt and professional manner. We do not consider a home improvement or remodeling project complete until the work is finished, the job site is clean, and the customer is completely satisfied. Licensed & Insured since 1997

"This is an overdue review. I hired Bernie and his team for a kitchen remodel in June 2021, after he did an excellent job with my three bathrooms in 2020. The kitchen remodel was also excellent. His works are efficient, hardworking and clean. My remodel took two weeks, as he had quoted and for the exact price he had quoted. I would hire him and his team again and I referred them to a coworker for her bathroom project. She was also very pleased with their work."

Guest house building services FAQs

In most states, yes—you can build a guest house, but every city or county sets its own zoning rules and building codes. Before breaking ground, check local ordinances, confirm lot setbacks, and secure the right permits. A local contractor or design-build firm can walk you through the paperwork and site requirements so your project starts on solid legal footing.

Yes—homeowners often tap a few different financing tools. A home-equity line of credit (HELOC) lets you borrow against your equity as you need funds. If you prefer a lump sum tied directly to the project, a short-term construction loan can roll into a second mortgage once the build is complete. Cash-out refinancing is another option: you replace your current mortgage with a larger one and use the difference to cover construction costs.

When you build a guest house, you’re creating a separate structure for hosting visitors without the full amenities needed for permanent living. An accessory dwelling unit, however, includes a complete kitchen and bathroom, meeting building codes for a long-term residence. This key difference makes an ADU ideal for long-term occupancy or rental income, adding enduring value to your property.

How many rooms you need depends on how you plan to use the space. Aim for one bedroom per every one or two occupants to make sure everyone has enough privacy and comfort. Added living and dining areas give you extra functionality, especially for rental use or long-term stays.

Most homeowners pick somewhere between 600 and 1,500 square feet to fit all the essentials. Make sure your design supports one to two occupants per bedroom and includes enough common areas for comfortable daily living. A well-proportioned layout boosts both functionality and property value.

No—a guest house isn’t just a bump-out on your main home. A bump-out is a small extension within an existing room for extra seating or storage. In contrast, you build a guest house as a standalone building with its own foundation and amenities, giving you a fully separate living area that can boost your property’s versatility and value.
