"They painted walls and trim and did not make a total mess. Just took a little longer than expected. Overall, It was not bad and what I would call a commercially acceptable job."

"I had the pleasure of working with Dino and Pete of Platinum Construction to complete my living room, entry way and closet floor. Although it was a small project for them we felt as though it was handled with the same care and professionalism as the larger projects they do. As well as being completed in a timely manner. Pete and his helper did a great job. They were prompt at 8am both mornings, very informative and professional through the project. Should I need another project done they will be the first ones I reach out to!"

"I recently hired Erick's Painting Services LLC for a full interior repaint of my home, and I can confidently say they are the best in the business. From the initial consultation to the final brushstroke, their professionalism, attention to detail, and customer service were truly outstanding. The team was punctual, respectful of my space, and meticulously clean — they took great care to protect my furniture and flooring and left no mess behind. The color consultation was incredibly helpful; their expert provided thoughtful suggestions that matched my style and lighting perfectly. The quality of the workmanship is second to none. Every line is crisp, every coat is even, and the finish looks like something out of a magazine. They used premium paints, and the results speak for themselves — my home feels completely transformed. What stood out the most was their communication and commitment to satisfaction. They checked in at every stage, welcomed feedback, and made sure I was 100% happy with the results before wrapping up. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, high-quality interior painting company, Erick's Painting Services LLC is the one to call. I couldn’t be happier with their work and will absolutely hire them again for future projects."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Simsbury, CT

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.
