"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 called Bryan to paint our finished basement and install new baseboard molding. We couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. The paint lines are very clean and the molding looks great. The guys also put a fresh coat of paint on all our doors and existing molding so everything has been updated. They were very responsive, showed up on time and worked the entire time they were at my house. We will definitely use Bryan and his guys for future projects. Overall very pleased!"

"Ted and his crew are extremely talented and reliable. I called him late in the season to remove an existing wood deck and steps and replace with composite decking and railing. He came out when he said he would. He completed the job very timely and efficient. They kept the work area clean waste all in a safe place. I was/am very pleased with the work done by Ted and his crew and would highly recommend them for remodel work."

"I recently hired Diamond Interiors to remodel my home, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, their team was professional, detail-oriented, and truly committed to delivering top-quality work. Every step of the project was handled with care, clear communication, and craftsmanship that exceeded my expectations. The transformation of my home is incredible—beautiful finishes, clean lines, and thoughtful touches throughout. They stayed on schedule, kept the workspace tidy, and made the entire process stress-free. It’s rare to find a contractor who combines skill, reliability, and pride in their work the way Diamond Interiors does. I highly recommend them to anyone considering a remodel. Outstanding job—thank you, Diamond Interiors! From Dan W."

"The professionalism and quality was superb. From the very first consult to the last day the owners were available to answer any questions. They walked thru the process from step one. Wendy even assisted with design. Staff always cleaned up everyday and they even became friends with my two dogs. You hear about nightmare remodels but mine was wonderful and it was a large job. Can’t wait for them to do my next project."

"Complete master bathroom remodel and hall bath remodel. The project is currently in progress, so far, so good. Great price and great value! Kevin does most of the work himself. We like contractors that get their own hands dirty. Not so good at returning calls in a timely manner, but still a pleasant man to work with. Very detailed invoice/contract.... More later, Ella"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Riverside, 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.
