"I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Michael Sabella for his outstanding work as a contractor on projects involving the expansion and renovation of my residence. Michael first collaborated with me over 20 years ago when he undertook a second-floor bathroom remodeling project. His expertise and commitment to excellence were apparent from the outset, delivering exceptional results that left a lasting positive impression. Five years later, I contracted Michael for additional work, entrusting him with the extensive remodeling of the first floor. This encompassed a comprehensive transformation, including the remodeling of the kitchen, living area, a bathroom, and a bedroom. Once again, Michael's dedication to his craft and his ability to bring innovative ideas to life were evident throughout the project. In the last ten years, Michael undertook the challenging task of adding a two-level expansion to our existing house, encompassing a total of 400 square feet on each level. His expertise and attention to detail were evident throughout the entire process. On the second floor, he successfully updated the kitchen and seamlessly integrated it with the existing living area, creating a harmonious and functional space. One of the key aspects that sets Michael apart is his ability to assemble a highly skilled and qualified team of contractors. From electricians and plumbers to painters, flooring specialists, and tile workers, every individual involved in the project exhibited a level of professionalism and proficiency that exceeded our expectations. The coordination and collaboration among the various trades ensured a smooth and efficient workflow. Not only did Michael excel in the interior renovations, but he also demonstrated exemplary project management skills in overseeing the construction of a retaining wall and a two-tiered drainage system around the new addition. This strategic approach was implemented to prevent runoff water from entering the first floor of the addition, showcasing Michael's foresight and commitment to ensuring the long-term integrity of the structure. Throughout the entire duration of the project, Michael was a constant presence on the job site. His hands-on approach and proactive involvement in directing the contractors underscored his dedication to delivering high-quality results. His leadership style fostered a positive working environment, and his effective communication ensured that all aspects of the project were executed to perfection. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Michael Sabella for any construction project. His professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to assemble and lead a skilled team make him an exceptional contractor. I am extremely satisfied with the outcome of the projects, and I am confident that Michael's expertise will bring success to any future endeavors."

With over 40 years combined experience, we provide complete Basement remodeling and finishing services with Free estimates and no-nonsense pricing. We will give you the Basement you've always wanted by transforming your previously unfinished Basement into a usable and comfortable living area you can be proud of. We are known for constant communication and on-site project management.

"While our basement came out good, there were several extra costs that our PM John came up with that we feel could have been included prior to the work beginning in the contract or in the extras section of the contract. Things like stair replacement, trying to get us to install 2 sump pumps + a second electric panel. Regarding the pumps, the plumber actually recommended against the 2 pumps as he was able to connect all of our window wells to a single pump, also eliminating the need for a second panel. They also installed low quality hi-hats as our lights continue to flicker and pretty much told us that it?s normal and nothing can be done. Lastly, the workers left our unfinished area a mess at the end of the project- leftover debris and our furnace a water heater were left covered in dust. If you don?t mind feeling price gauged and having your concerns not taken seriously, this is the company for you. "

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Somerset, 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.
