"I've lost count how may times I've had Chatel Contraction do the work in my house and at my business location. We just finished a major kitchen renovation by knocking down walls and creating an unbelievable open concept layout. They stay on a very detailed schedule and make sure things get done in a timely manor going over and above when needed. The best of the best!!"

"Rahat Construction did an amazing job repairing my basement and waterproofing the exterior of my house after Hurricane Ida. They regraded the cement, replaced the basement doors, re-fortified and repainted the damaged basement walls and replaced the badly cracked cement on my sidewalk. They are highly responsive, they work very quickly and carefully, and above all, they care about their customers—always taking time to explain decisions and new issues as they arise. This is the second time I’ve worked with them, and I would hire them again in a heartbeat."

"Hired Greg for a full gut and remodel of a bathroom. Greg was very competent, personable, and took the time to understand exactly what we wanted. He made us feel like we were in good hands. He took the time to make sure things were done the right way. The result was top notch, couldn't have asked for more. I would definitely use this company again!"

"I couldnt be more thrilled with the recent flooring remodel in my bedroom! The transformation is absolutely stunning, and the attention to detail is remarkable. The new floors have completely elevated the space, making it feel both cozy and sophisticated. The craftsmanship is flawless, with every plank perfectly aligned and finished to perfection. Not only does the room look beautiful, but it feels warmer and more inviting. The entire experience, from selection to installation, was seamless and professional. I highly recommend this team for anyone looking to bring new life to their home through quality flooring. Truly a dream come true!"

"We had a big undertaking in updating the basement of our home. We have a house centuries old and needed updating to make the space comfortable and functional. Mohamed and his team worked with us through all the ebbs and flows of the process and was very accommodating to address every issue that presented itself. I will definitely be calling on the Expo team again as we continue our remodeling/updating repair journey."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Queens, 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.
