Basement Remodeling

Your most affordable new square footage

Finishing a basement adds living space without an addition. The key is starting with moisture control, insulation and proper egress, so the space is comfortable and safe for years.

We handle framing, insulation, electrical, plumbing, drywall, flooring, lighting and trim, plus egress windows and bathrooms where needed.

FAQ

Basement Remodeling questions

Have a question that isn't answered here? Call us at 516-550-0670.

Do I need a permit to finish my basement?

In most Nassau County towns and villages, yes. A permit is required for finishing a basement, especially when adding a bedroom, bathroom or new electrical. We handle it for you.

What if my basement gets damp?

We assess moisture before we build and recommend solutions such as sealing, drainage or a dehumidifier so the finished space stays dry.

Can I add a bedroom in the basement?

Yes, as long as it meets code, which includes a proper egress window and ceiling height. We’ll confirm what your space allows.
