We are a locally owned and operated company that values honesty, integrity, and treats your home as if it were our own. You will find us to be competitively priced, while still paying close attention to the details of each and every project that we are involved with. We look forward to building lasting relationships, and guarantee your satisfaction. Give us a call today to get your project started!

"Plow and Property has completed several projects for us on a very old and neglected rental property and we are so glad we found them. The first job was a vacant house clean out. The house was left in truly appalling condition. The cleaning crew worked and worked and worked so hard and so long I was telling them to stop. They made a filthy house fresh and pleasant again. I would not have thought it could be restored to such a fresh condition. The next job was replacing the old casement windows which were rotted wood frames in crumbly 1950â s cement. They not only repaired the window foundation area but other foundation ugly spots as well and put in beautiful new sturdy basement sliding windows. They also re-dug and replaced the adjoining window wells which were undoubtedly the original wells and were falling apart. Regraded the foundation area around the wells and reseeded without being asked. While they were in the basement doing the windows they cleaned a bunch of that up too so itâ s no longer a horror movie waiting to be filmed down there. Everything they did was simply above and beyond. Wesley Vercosa has returned my many questions and concerns with lots of information and smiles, bless him. My retired husband worked in construction for many years and he is happy and impressed with the work. We are planning more work with them already."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Watertown, CT

While the terms remodeling, renovating, and finishing are often used interchangeably, there are some differences. Remodeling your basement transforms the space by changing its layout, adding new features, or altering its function. Renovating restores the existing space to like-new condition without major structural changes. Finishing converts an unfinished basement into a livable area with walls, ceilings, and flooring.

A full basement remodel typically takes two to six weeks, depending on the project's complexity and any unforeseen challenges. Factors like design changes, permitting, and material availability can affect the timeline, as well as the availability of the contractors you’re working with. Remember that the bigger the project, the longer it will take to complete.

Remodeling your basement is not just about gaining extra space—it's a savvy investment. You can expect around a 70% return on investment (ROI), comparable to other major home improvements like kitchen or bathroom remodels. Adding functional living space boosts your home's value and appeals to potential buyers. Plus, converting your basement into a rental apartment could provide additional income, increasing your return even more.
