"It was great to work with Tony. The crew that came to the house was professional and very courteous. The quality of the work is excellent. We are very happy with the remodeling done by Craftsmen Construction & Design LLC. I have already hired them to do more work around the house."

"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 :)"

"I couldn’t be happier with the garage remodel this contractor did for me. From the first conversation, they were friendly, honest, and really listened to what I wanted. Throughout the whole project, they kept me updated, showed up when they said they would, and treated my home with care. The finished garage is better than I imagined; clean, organized, and truly transformed. It’s rare to find someone who takes this much pride in their work, and it really shows. I’ve already told friends and family about them, and I’d recommend them to anyone looking for a contractor they can trust."

"I had a great experience with this company. They were honest, hard working and met with me weekly to discuss continued plans for my bathroom remodels. Great attention to detail, great communication and they even let my dog out each day. I would highly recommend this company for your home renovations. They worked with me to keep to a sensible budget as well."

"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!!!!"

"I want to start out by saying Doug and his sons are very pleasant and their workmanship is good. It became obvious we took a back seat to another customer, whom he referred to as his “bread and butter”, and he withdrew his commitment to do extra work, that we had agreed upon early at the onset of the job. My “finished” basement was left unfinished, doors and window were not trimmed out, like was discussed. Every day they showed up at 9:30 and left at 3:30 with a lunch break, never put in a full days work. The clean up was poor. We had our ceiling painted black (a whole other story), and after sanding, my husband had to go through and clean EVERY board and duct work to clear the white dust from the sanding of the drywall, One wall was completely covered in dust and all walls had to be cleaned before painting, although Doug said he would leave it “paint ready”. There was drywall mud was on the floor and top of the drywall. Doug knew we were having flooring installed the following week, so the floor should have been cleaned of debris, not just swept. I am very happy with the framing and drywall, but UNHAPPY with the “finish”. I felt like I was filling a void in their work schedule so they were readily available to start the job, and the when more work came in, I took a back seat. The last day they rushed through and were gone by noon, when some of my extras could have been fit and more attention to detail could have been given. My husband has some repairs to do as a result of their haste. Also I had to pay additional for materials because of poor estimating."

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.
