"Kazi and his crew did excellent work on our basement and cornice. They worked efficiently and left everything in great shape. Our basement walls were crumbling and now they are clean and dry; and, our cornice is ready for the winter. Thank you Kazi!"

"I’m so pleased with the remodel of my powder room! Proper Contracting did an outstanding job from start to finish. They were timely, kept the workspace spotless, and kept me informed every step of the way so I could make important decisions about fixtures and placement. They were courteous, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Their pricing was fair, and they seamlessly incorporated the materials and fixtures I had purchased separately. I couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend Proper Contracting!"

He took the time to make sure things were done the right way. The result was top notch, couldn't have asked for more. I would definitely use this company again!"

"From the start, Dominick approached the job with a positive, "can do" attitude. After starting the work, we realized things were going to be a bit more challenging than we had originally thought. My kitchen would need some custom plumbing to make the new appliances fit. Dom handled the situation like a true professional and with a little bit of troubleshooting, he figured out the solution with ease. He's such an expert craftsman, I might ask him to help fix up my dad's vacation house."

"We had a big undertaking in updating the basement of our home. We have a house centuries old and needed updating to make the space comfortable and functional. Mohamed and his team worked with us through all the ebbs and flows of the process and was very accommodating to address every issue that presented itself. I will definitely be calling on the Expo team again as we continue our remodeling/updating repair journey."

"After my family and I decided to move back to the old Queens house I grew up in to live above my mom, we quickly realized there were many things that needed to be repaired. I've counted on Nunez Construction and Painting for all of it. The first job they did was to repair some siding on the house. Prior to our move, we then wanted to gut and remodel the second floor apartment where we live. Mr. Nunez and his crew did a great job. More recently, our basement became flooded with sewage. We called him again to help with this project and install a new floor. We are always very satisfied customers. The work is great and reasonably priced. We can't thank him enough for being a wonderful person and company to work with."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Ridgewood, 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.
