"I hired Done-Rite on the recommendation of my neighbor. I viewed the quality of work they had done for her. I first had them refresh my guest bathroom. I needed a shower pan & shower doors replaced as well as a new toilet, vanity and light. I could not have been happier with the result; so much so that I hired them to do a complete on suite bathroom remodel a few months later. I had a jetted tub to shower conversion. I am completely satisfied with my beautiful new bathroom. Dan & Dan were wonderful to work with. They pay so much attention to every detail and are very professional. I was sorry to see them leave but will happily hire them again for my next project. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality work at a fair price by someone you can trust in your home."

"We had our basement remodeled by John Michaels. He was very professional and easy to work with. We were always able to reach him when necessary. His ideas were creative and the job came out better than we imagined. Johnâ s assistant Ahmet, is a perfectionist and was very pleasant to have around. Everything was done to spec. We highly recommend John Michaels and we will be hiring him again in the near future."

"PBRIGHT and Ezequiel were outstanding! From the initial conversation through completion they were a pleasure to work with. I recommended them to two other people including my co-op board president. I trusted Ezequiel and the team and they delivered 100%. It was my first time doing any sort of renovation work and they made it easy and simple. Painting, plaster work, fixing base boards, installing lights and plumbing- they did it all at a very fair price and the work was impeccable"

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.
