"I have been using Done-Rite Contracting for more than 7 years now. They have doing various jobs for me from small ones like mounting a tv or ceiling fan to large ones such as a new gazebo install and a complete bath gut tub to shower renovation. The quality of their work and attention to detail is what sets them apart from other contractors. They include you in all aspects of the project insuring that you completely satisfied when they are finished. The Dans, as I call them, are very respectful of you and your home and take extreme care during the construction project to contain the mess and clean up daily. Many people are concerned at who they allow in their home, but these men are very trustworthy and professional and have such pleasant personalities that you will look forward to the next project and want them return."

"We hired Skies Are The Limit to add a shower in a very small space, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From the start, Adrian was professional and honest about what could realistically be done in the limited area. Adrian came up with a smart design solution that maximized every inch of space. Adrian is extremely punctual and respectful of our time. He arrived exactly when scheduled every day and kept the project moving efficiently without any delays. I would absolutely recommend him based on his punctuality alone! I am looking forward to working with him again in the near future to remodel my kitchen."

"Service was great from sales, to installation, to post installation support. Very responsive, very professional. It's hard to find in this 'space'--there are a lot of shady people in basement water damage/repair, and this place exceeded expectations. We've had our repair in place for 4+ years, with only 1 small issue on a wall seam crack, and that was fixed within 24 hours of reporting the issue. Stand up place! Thank you for such great service and support."

"I hired John Michael Contracting to remodel a home I purchased and it needed a new kitchen, 3 baths, flooring and refacing of walls. John was extremely efficient and professional. His crew was very clean and from the demo to the finish, John made sure to use only high quality material while always giving me options that were in line with my budget. I highly recommend John for any project. He is fair and he completed the job within the time I needed it completed. He and his crew was always at the house on time."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Staten Island, 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.
