"Dan and Dan were amazing! They took the job right before Thanksgiving. We were having family come into town and needed both my shower plumbing and change my kitchen sink and faucet, along with the plumbing. They were professional, efficient, and explained everything every step of the way. We plan on hiring them again in the very near future to help remodel our basement. Thank you so much for your prompt response and a job well done! "

"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."

"We hired Adrian and his team for a much-needed facelift of our front porch, and we couldn't be happier with the results. The entire process, from start to finish, demonstrated a truly meticulous approach to their craft across both projects. Adrian's team skillfully handled every aspect of the porch renovation. They successfully reserviced the floor, installed beautiful new molding, and applied fresh paint all around, which has completely transformed the curb appeal of our home. The quality of the finish on all elements is impeccable and clearly shows their high standards. In addition to the porch, Adrian also installed new windows in our basement area. This was a critical job that involved removing old rotted wood, carefully weather sealing the entire opening, and installing the necessary exterior capping. This detailed work ensures the windows are perfectly watertight, energy-efficient, and aesthetically pleasing from the exterior. What truly set Adrian and his team apart was their incredible professionalism and attention to the small details. Each day, they ensured the entire work area was left absolutely spotless, showing immense respect for our property and minimizing any disruption. We highly recommend Adrian for any home improvement project. Their dedication to quality, cleanliness, and exceptional results is outstanding."

"American Home replaced my roof and siding, porch windows and some add-on exterior lighting. One of the reasons I chose AHR was not just due to the best price, they came in line with other estimates I received, but because they included things with their final price that similar companies had as add-ons at an extra cost such as the dumpster and gutter system. I did not know what to expect as this was the first time I've had these things replaced. My rep John was awesome, he was professional, friendly and accommodating, and was able to work with me on the spot vs. "I have to check back to the owners" which I got from other companies. John was readily available by phone, text, and in person. He walked me through all the steps, timelines, and the whole process. After the crew finished, he took my list of 'nit-pick' things and made sure they were addressed. Overall I am satisfied with the job, In fact, we recommended them to our neighbors who hired them to do their siding this Spring."

"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.
