"Justin is a find. His work is excellent. Work ethic is commendable. His prices are fair. He’s a trustworthy young man who can everything he promises, and sub-contracts quality people for details he wants comparable to his A+ standards. I finally found a home improvement professional that suits my standards. R. L, Allen"

"Brett has replaced the attic stairs and new door to attic, installed banister, installed shower bar, installed all new blinds in home, shelving units in basement, custom dining room cabinet install, and has put together projects in our home. I started with one thing and was highly impressed of the quality of his work and the price of the estimates and Brett gives good sound advice and will accommodate to our schedule. You can fully trust Brett in your home when completing projects and Brett will explain the needs of your project and has contacts that he trusts for good quality of the products needed. I am looking forward to a basement remodeling and deck work. I continue to call him and does a great cleanup and you will be completely satisfied. Brett will fully explain all details. Highest satisfied review for our family needs."

"Hired them based on recommendations and was pleasantly surprised. Melissa was such a big help with remodeling a 40 year old kitchen. They were here to do the job everyday until it was finished. The crew were all great. They did their job and did extra to help an old lady with little things not in their job description, I am sure. Jason was here to answer any questions I might have had. I was so glad that I chose them to do the job. Would recommend them to anyone."

"I had the best luck, that Hawkeyez Construction worked on a neighbors house, and so I got connected to them for my own home remodeling. They did an amazing and thoughtful job remodeling a very aged bathroom that had been put in my walkout basement by handyman types in the 80's. The plumbing and electrical and framing were wrong, and there were leaks, and it was just terrible. I now have a beautiful full bath with all of the issues fixed and Carl and his team of electricians, painters, tilers and other professionals was top notch. Thanks to Carl. his son, Justin for tiling, the Enriques' for painting and a host of other very skilled professionals, my basement bath and painting projects and other baths around my place are done, and I can look around and be amazed by how wonderful everything looks now!!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Pittsford, 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.
