"Basic Bassments did a wonderful job in waterproofing and remodeling our basement. Everyone I dealt with was courteous and very professional. The workmanship was really good…township inspectors commented on good the electrical and plumbing work looked. Basic Basements was always on time and cleaned up after themselves. I highly recommend Basic Basements and would definitely use them again."

"We love our basement remodel. Peter, Alex and his team were here when they said theyâ d be here, completed the job as described, and kept us updated along the way. The basement now looks and feels clean and bright. The additional space doesnâ t feel like a basement at all and is enjoyed by the whole family. We highly recommend Lux Renovations."

"We hired Heartland Village General Contracting and Handyman Services to execute a full, top-to-bottom renovation of our bathroom at the beginning of March of 2026. This was a major project involving demolition , new flooring, updated electrical and plumbing to accommodate a new layout of the bathroom. The company manager/owner, Harvey, was excellent. He provided a detailed project schedule before work began and proactively communicated every step of the way. The quality of the final product exceeded our expectations. Harvey's attention to detail truly made the difference."

"We just had our basement finished. Not re-finished but finished for the first time. The house was built in 1924 with a dirt floor in the basement and low hanging pipes, overall a very challenging job. We wanted to turn it to a family room with a full bath, laundry room, closets, etc. Joe's guys (Chico and Javier) did a fantastic job. They are knowledgeable, thorough, thoughtful, and creative. We would recommend them to anyone without hesitation."

"Bryan and his wife Josie personally came out on a Saturday to look at the basement project and I requested 3 different quotes on what I referred to as 3 different projects.  For strategic reasons I had to break the work up because like most remodels, things need to be completed in a specific order.  The soffit project was my biggest concern and getting some of the simple plumbing cutbacks done allowed me to finish up some loose ends.  Five days later I received a quote from Bryan that was reasonable so we scheduled a date for the work to be done. 
One of Bryan's teams was doing the work, they showed up on time and quickly reviewed the scope of the project and confirmed exactly what the expectation was.  Even though I pushed donuts, etc. on them they wanted to get right to work and to make their lives easier I set up a miter saw outside for them to use (even though they came prepared).  A guy named George was obviously in charge he went to get some supplies while the other two guys started reinforcing my existing framing and checking and making any studs plum that they had to build the soffit off of.  At one point (since I know spanish) they were mentioning how they wanted to secure the sill plate down further I was more than happy to provide the hilti, ammo & nails to punch through the basement floor.  You know you have a good team when they first check what is LEVEL before just hammering away and trying to build a soffit which MUST be level or when you drywall it, it will stick out and be off.  My basement sounded like gun range for about an hour as George and his two other laborers put up the soffit, they worked fast but very conscientious to do quality work, the tool they used MOST was the level, George kept checking and rechecking the soffit as it went up.  After finally getting them to eat a donut and some water/soda the guys finished up the framing, attached the sheet rock ceiling portion and even went as far as ensuring their work lined u with other existing walls/framing. 
I was so happy with the work I demanded to buy them lunch, called it into the local pizzeria and told to 'go eat it on the way home'.  Bryan's team delivered as promised, cleaned up behind themselves and were an absolute class act to deal with.

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Princeton, NJ

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.
