"Jeremy and Justin were able to cover all of our remodeling needs without additional contractors. This was especially important since we were doing this during COVID and did not want to have to interact with many other workers. Jeremy was very professional and accessible. He helped us design our kitchen, offering advice on what he thought would work. Jeremy built our custom cabinets and moved a doorway to accommodate our uniquely configured kitchen. They even installed a new hot water heater when ours started leaking!"

"This is the third remodel project we have hired Da Vinci for. They remodeled our basement years ago. They recentlly remodeled my mother's basement and now our Primary Bath and Bed Room. I can honestly say that I would not work with anyone besides Gary and his crew. I have had so many experiences with contractors, most of them have been so-so or down right awful. I think Gary was the first contractor who actually did exactly what he said he would do. Da Vinci puts a lot of effort into the planning of the project to avoid unnecessary surprises. They always show up on time and clean up before they go home, wihtout exception. They provide you with a detailed time frame of the project and keep you informed of any necessary changes. Gary's team is trustworthy, personable and a pleasure to work with. I can't recomend them enough! In fact, we have recommended Da Vinci to many of our neighbors who have also had very positive experiences. I think my three favorite things about Da Vinci is that I trust them, they do beautiful work and they have an amazing attention to detail. I think anyone would be lucky to have Gary and his team work on your project :)"

"We asked Piccirillo Enterprises to do a complete gut and remodel of our master bath, as well as install hardwood flooring in our master bedroom. Tony (the owner) managed the entire project. We received quality work at a fair price, and everyone who worked in our home was courteous. We are very pleased with how the project turned out!"

"Josh is professional, creative and very talented. Josh is a perfectionist and treated our kitchen and basement/bathroom remodel like it was his own. His pricing was more than fair with no hidden surprises. He transformed our house to what we wanted it to be and my wife and I couldn't be happier with the finished product. This was our first major home renovation and he helped us make decisions the entire process. We will certainly hire JL again and have already been recommending him to family and friends!!!!"

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.
