Get matched with top basement remodelers in Pleasantville, NY

"Our basement had concrete floors, bare ceiling beams, walls with some insulation covered with plastic, and a few spindly columns.  It also contained the furnace, water heater, and so forth.   Opposite there was a sliding patio door.  VAP contracting worked with us to develop the concept of the space; we did not use an architect.  They also were familiar with building code, and worked successfully with our local inspector and the inspection process from start to finish.  As the project began, further insulation was added, then drywall.  The drywall made a separate "back" room for the furnace area, which was left unfinished, but with a finished door large enough to accommodate installation of a new oil storage tank or anything else that might need doing in the future.  VAP had the idea of making a hallway in one area giving access to a tiny sauna which the previous owner had built in the otherwise unfinished basement.  The partial hallway added to the architectural interest of the space, again making it less like a casually finished basement.  The ceiling was installed with a substantial number of down lights on a rheostat, and two electric heating elements were installed along the floor on opposite sides of the room.  The spindly columns were faced with drywall and trim at the bottom, matching the trim around the base of the floors finished with Pergola composite flooring.  Access to the basement was with wood steps in good condition, and we continued the look of that wood with flooring of similar wood appearance.  For whatever reason, the unfinished basement had concrete ledges around most of the room, and once the drywall was installed we placed wood to run along the top of those ledges that matched the stairs and flooring.  The color scheme echoed the upstairs, basically off-white with a few accent areas.  The staircase was repainted the same off-white.  And so now, when walking down the stairway, it becomes a kind of entrance to the finished room.  I used to joke that contractors had their own clocks and schedules in a parallel universe separate and apart from mine. Not the case with VAP.  When we worked out a schedule, they stuck to it in every phase.  Further, the quality of the work was perfect--which gives a great sense of joy when using the room. The overall budget was less than we originally anticipated, and so the price was fair--and, no cost overruns.   For the electrical work, I mentioned to VAP that I had been using an electrician for some years.  VAP said they could do the electrical work or could work with our electrician.  They did work with our electrician, very cooperatively.  Finally, I should note that I had used VAP for some previous, less complex projects, such as exterior house painting and wood floor refinishing.  Because that work was executed so well, on time, and within budget, we wanted to use them for the more complex basement project.  We are glad that we did!

"We live in Bronxville, where the expectation are high for quality of work done on houses. Bud, and team, did an amazing job with a pretty large job. It was a full basement remodel, down to the studs, and he was great to work with. Really appreciate his professionalism and quality. I would recommend him fully, even for jobs that are larger and require a high level of finish quality."

"Wonderful! Angela came and assessed the project. As we recently had two other bathroom remodels and didn't use either of those contractors, she asked "why?". We told her that it had to do with a constant set of delays; so she said that we wouldn't have such a problem. It was our easiest remodel to date. It started on time and finished on time. Angela sent over the main two people, Billy and Rolando, each day and we had continuity. They gave us their cell number so they could ask questions as they came up. Billy had a eye for detail and he gave us multiple options along the way for where we wanted things to make sure that it was done as we envisioned it. The electrician and plumber did great jobs as well. When they were finishing the project, I noted a problem with a leak in my downstairs bathroom (recently done by another contractor). Angela gave the okay for them to tackle this problem as well and they tore out the back of the vanity to locate the leak and found that the earlier contractor hadn't properly glued the PVC pipe. They repaired it and then Billy came back and repaired the back of the vanity so it looks new. Every night they cleaned up so it wasn't an issue with building debris. It wasn't the bargain basement price I got for the earlier remodels but you really do get what you pay for: Angela is a pro and everything was done to perfection! When we do our kitchen remodel next summer, Angela will be our contractor."

"Great results from waterproofing. Turned my spring flooding anxiety to calm. As humidity rose in summer, I put in a small dehumidifier. Made basement noisy as it struggled to dry and produced a lot of heat. As temperatures rose to about 83 down there and the humidity rose to over 68%, I had same people put in a whole basement commercial-grade dehumidifier. The small unit dropped the humidity to around 50% in less than an hour. Incredible performance and have me peace of mind and peace and quiet downstairs. Temperature dropped gas as well. Weel worth the price to save my most expensive investment."

"Basement remodel after water issues. Excellent service and craftsmanship. Always on site and clear about what is required. Will use again."

"We remodeled a bathroom and bedroom that were so old and outdated, and looked for many contractors before deciding on Ronan and Loti Contracting. Five stars cannot express how happy we were with the experience - there should be more. From start to finish Ronan and his crew were skilled, professional, and their work is excellent. When we hit snags (which we expected in this older space) he was able to give us reasonable options. And we went with more detailed tiles and the tile work is exquisite. He transformed the bathroom from a place we hated to use into our own personal spa - we had to add a tub and plumbing to the space and he executed our vision perfectly. I cannot tell you how much we love this new space! In addition we updated a bedroom space and installed recessed lighting. Everything came out perfectly. And him and his crew were so professional and got the work done in a timely manner - honestly I could not say enough good things about the experience. I've heard nightmares from friends about experiences and Ronan made this process so easy."

"We hired Gustavo to remodel a 1960s house we purchased and we are pleased with the outcome he and his team delivered. Remodeling included vaulting our living room and kitchen ceilings, adding steel beams and refinishing kitchen and bathrooms with new plumbing, cabinets and tiles. Gustavo is very knowledgeable in all aspects of construction and the codes. His team and the subcontractors listen to him and they work together very well. Overall, we were very pleased with his work and we would hire him for future projects again."

"American Home Remodeling was absolutely stupendous to work with. I reside in Irvington and needed vinyl siding and 3 windows replaced to my home.

Their work was clean, and gave my home a tremendous, refreshed look. A BIG thank you to Vic, Kelvin and the American Home Remodeling team. You guys are ROCKSTARS!!!!!"

"Within 3 days of contacting Diego about my project, the job was done, to my complete satisfaction. Westchester Pro Contractingâ s 2 carpenters framed a basement doorway and installed a painted panel door to replace an obsolete bifold door. The finished job was proof that the two gentleman are masters of their craft. Diego was totally responsive and informative throughout the entire process I would hire his firm again for any home remodeling project."
