I will definitely be using them for any remodeling I need to be done. I have nothing but good words for these two and their team. If anyone is looking for a contractor pick Pickford. I promise you won't be disappointed."

"Enios did a great job restoring my basement "mancave" to is former glory after a sump pump malfunction led to about 6 inches of flooding. Would definitely use them again. Clean, and professional."

"The handy men were really nice and respectful. They did 2 jobs for me which includes a tv set with a fire place and a bead board for my California king size bed. The job was done in 3hrs and the work was done sufficiently. They cleaned up after themselves. They made sure I was comfortable and that I was happy with there work. I will definitely be contacting them for all my future handy work. "

"Sam is the man and we love the way our basement remodel turned out. Sam's work ethic and attention to detail are second to none. When ever an issue came up Sam promptly took care of it. He always took the time to explain any changes that needed to be made and did not proceed until we gave him the ok. He is very professional and cleaned up everyday before he left. He showed up on time and often went above and beyond to please us on our renovation. I feel like Sam worked on our house as if it was his own house. I want to thank him for giving us a beautiful living space that our son Joshua can enjoy now that he is moving back home. We highly recommend Sam and would not hesitate to hire him again if needed."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Valley Cottage, 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.
