"I cannot say enough good things about these men! We are very pleased with the bathroom remodel they just did. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect paying attention to details most would not. I will continue to use them for all our future repairs and remodels, and you should also!!!"

"Tony came into our job to fix and finish a remodel of full kitchen, bath, mud room, dining room and siding that another contractor bitched up. I wish I had found him first as it would have save me a lot of stress and money. Tony and his crew were all very professional and came up with some really nice design ideas that really helped bring the entire project together. He is responsive when you reach out to him with questions which is very reassuring when you are going through any remodel. If you want someone that will get the job done right and they way you want it work with T&J Sheery"

"I hired Otter Creek Construction to do paint my house and to do some bathroom updates and window replacements at another house I own. The painting was done with precision, and close attention to detail such as caulking any spaces between the baseboards and walls, and making sure the holes in the walls were smoothly filled in. The lines between the walls and ceilings were clean and straight. I have had several paint jobs done in the past, and I rate this crew's results the best so far. The bathroom updates were done within one and a half days with no "down time" for use of the bathroom. The owner, David Bailey, went out of his way to find the exact vanity and counter top my daughter wanted; he selected the perfect faucet, shower curtain rod and toilet seat cover (he even found a self-closing cover with a built-in child seat for my young grandson!) The window replacements will be done when the special-order windows arrive in about another two weeks. This project is to replace and repair a botched window replacement done by the previous owners. Mr. Bailey quoted a much lower estimate than a previous estimate from another company for doing the same thing. Mr. Bailey and his two employees also did several "handyman" projects around the houses. He even came up with a solution to a "clothes hanging" in one of the basements for a very reasonable price. Overall, I would highly recommend Otter Creek Construction. They are professional, courteous, detail-oriented, and motivated to provide excellent service at a reasonable price."

"Amanda was really very good!  At first I was very skeptical, thinking why did I pay money to just speak with someone on the phone about my kitchen remodel project... but after just a few minutes of her addressing some of the issues/questions I emailed to her earlier, I knew it was worth it.  It was very clear that she knew her business and she gave me several ideas that I had not even thought about.  I told her that I would definitely recommend her to friends and I will very likely use her again myself for my next home project!

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Prattsburgh, 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.
