"This company was a pleasure to work with. They built a deck for our swimming pool. They provided a professional proposal and drawing, worked with me and offered suggestions for the deck, and handled the permit process. Our new deck looks fantastic and is just what I had hoped for. The entire process was excellent from start to finish. I highly recommend Advanced Energy Advisors."

"Matt and his professionals did an absolutely outstanding job! he was always available for contact and he worked around our schedule. All the hardwood flooring had to be replaced along with kitchen cabinets, sheet rock walls and water damage to the basement ceiling and carpet. The quality of their work was well beyond expectations. I would highly recommend anyone needing any type of home repairs or remodeling to contact Matt. He's absolutely the Best, period!"

"They were called on the basis of an annual service contract I purchased for approx. $275. Besides annual maintenance and cleaning, the contracts buys priority in answering emergency calls. All fine and well. My complaint has to do with the exorbitant overcharges for replacing a $25 furnace igniter and their service manager's response when I called to complain about the final bill of $350 for what amounted to a 30-minute job using a very inexpensive replacement part.. The breakdown Justin offered: I get a 15% discount off $99 for the service call he claimed that was only for coming out. There is an additional charge for the diagnosis and repair of $240 to replace a part he claims cost them $80 but which is listed retail everywhere for under $30. With taxes the bill came to a sum 15X the part cost for 30 minutes labor. It was outright price gauging! Apparently I am not the only consumer that feels ripped off by their inflated service costs. When my contract ends there will be no renewing. Justin would not offer a rebate but defended their policy of overcharging. Apparently they don't care about the bad taste that leaves or some adjustment would have been made. Perhaps as a corporate franchise they don't have the leeway but one thing is certain there will be nothing favorable ever to say.about them. If they can live with that so can I."

"Quality work. Competitively priced. We needed an architect for a basement project and after getting a few quotes from other companies, we chose Max Parangi Architects - best in care and price. They delivered the plans promptly, had a good understanding of the building inspection process and even recommended local contractors. If you are looking for an architect firm for your home improvement project (big or small), you definitely want to call Max Parangi Architects."

"They did a spectacular job considering what they had to work with when they started. The roof is exceptional. I don't have any leaks and I don't have roof shingles blowing off in my yard or the neighbors' yard; it is wonderful. The thing that I was most impressed was that they cleaned up after they were done. These guys went out and made sure that the nails were up and everything. I was just very pleased. I have recommended them to a friend. The price included the tear off of the old roof. At some places there were three to four layers of roofing shingles thick and there was a layer of wood shakes. People had just gone over and over it. I was way beyond the village code, but I bought the house like that. It leaked and I tarred it until I got enough money to get the roof done. They also insulated over the porch for me. They did the garage roof as well. I absolutely had no complaints. I had a lot of people into my house to do work. This was the first group of people that I have had here that did what they promised and cleaned up their mess. I had no problems and no need to call them back. I got prices from several other people. They weren't the cheapest, but they were right down there. It was a fair price. They had it done when they said they would have it done."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Schoharie, 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.
