"From the second Kevin walked in for our estimate I could tell he was genuine and not trying to oversell or take advantage. Our project was a basement remodel for my mother who was moving in. The entire experience was wonderful, from start to finish. His team is amazing, super dedicated and we were involved in every step along the way. Kevin was always right there talking my mom through what she needed, helped her pick out her finishing touches, and even suggested we add/remove things from the remodel we would have never thought of doing on our own. He never once made us feel like we were asking too much and ANYTIME I had a question or concern he always got back to me same day. His work is top notch and his team is filled with the kindest group of men I have ever met. I didnt always make it easy, but they always delivered. We could not be more thrilled with the way things turned out, down to the last details, and would 100% call Kevin and his guys back for any future contracting needs."

"Brian was very thoughtful when designing an addition to existing pergola. It was difficult to transition old to new. He had a solution for each difficult area and spent the time to do things correctly and professionally.. He was neat with every detail. When the job was finished he cleaned up and you would never know he was there. Brian communicated his schedule and when materials were being delivered. I am impressed with his workmanship and am grateful for the recommendation from a mutual friend."

Customers say: Terrific value

"I hope everyone has the pleasure of working with someone as creative, hardworking, and honest as Jeffrey. We took a chance with Jeffery not knowing him before working together. Now he's the only person we would trust with projects for our home. It started with a simple design for a basement bedroom that turned into a whole downstairs remodel - he designed and build three closets, a staircase, a bedroom, and a gorgeous bathroom. He is much more than a contractor - he's a project manager and creative visionary. He shows up on time, stays on budget, and always has a smile on his face. He is the type of person who takes the time to find the piece of matching tile or the perfect wood color, and he makes sure to spend your budget as if it was his own. No matter what, you are in good hands with Jeffrey and his team."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in New Paltz, 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.
