"We love our new bathroom! Brunell Construction took care of every last detail and ensured everything was done correctly. We started with a 1950’s horror and they completely modernized our bathroom. They were helpful, offered suggestions, handled unexpected obstacles with ease and communicated at every step of the way. I highly recommend Brunell Construction."

"All I needed was half my basement repaired from water damage due to a broken pipe. They would not come out to even quote the job unless they were going to rebuild the entire basement. At least they didn't waste my time."

"Exceptional customer service!!! Very happy with his schedule of getting a job completed. Our basement looks great thanks to him for the framing of the walls and hanging the drywall. Brent also installed custom shelves in our garage and storage room. If you want a reliable worker who does it right, then I would contact him for the job."

Customers say: Quick response

"We selected this company to finish our basement because the quote was way lower than the other big companies and talking with Xhulio about the project, it just felt like a good fit. And it was! He was very kind, patient, and accomidating to any and all ideas and concerns. The process was smooth, they catered to all our needs and the results are amazing!! We had our own design plan and he and his dad, Jimmy followed them to a "T". They produce quality work, but very quickly. Very detailed and clean up after themselves each day. They let us paint our own cabinets for a full kitchen and seperate bar, and they installed them for us. They felt like family to us. My husband and I definitely recommend them and have referred them to others already! Great value!!"

"Tersigni and Sons completed my new basement flooring and rebuilt a wall after we had waterproofing completed. They were quick to respond, fair on prices, and completed excellent work. We will absolutely use their services again in the future for any home improvement needs."

"Brett and his crew were very professional and easy to work with. He let me know about every step of the project snd completed it in a timely manner. Based on my experience with him during my basement remodel when I decided to add a kitchenette to the basement I hired him to do the project too. I get so many compliments on how the basement looks and the quality of the workmanship !"

He was always kind, considerate and listened to our ideas. He was a fantastic problem solver and his work ethic, completion, and quality was 5/5 stars. We loved working with him and would recommend him without any hesitation."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Joists and beams are both part of the flooring system above your basement, with the beams spanning the length of your home and getting support from vertical posts underneath, and joists usually spanning half the width of your home with no support posts underneath. The floor joists provide even support to the subflooring and flooring above, and they distribute that load to the beams. The beams then distribute that load down through the support posts to the foundation.

Yes, in most cases, finishing a basement is worth the cost. The project adds valuable, usable square footage to your home and typically provides a return on investment (ROI) of 70% to 75%. For example, an average basement refinishing project costing $32,000 could add between $22,400 and $24,000 to your property's value. The final value added depends on factors like your location, the quality of materials and workmanship, and the features you include, such as a living space, bedroom, or bathroom. To be officially counted in your home's total square footage, the finished space must comply with all local building codes, including requirements for points of egress. However, in areas prone to flooding, a finished basement might be seen as a liability by potential buyers and could potentially decrease your home's value.

A finished basement must have a heat and electrical supply with an entrance that meets building code requirements, such as a stairwell to the home's main living space. It often must include finished walls, ceilings, and floors. If the finished basement includes a bedroom, it should have a heat source, an egress window, and a closet.

Remodeling, as opposed to finishing, means altering an already finished basement by adding a bathroom, bedroom, or living area.

Building a bar in the basement will likely add value to your home, although it’s unlikely that you’ll see a significant return on investment (ROI) unless you plan on using the space for you and your guests. If you think you’ll use the area frequently, though, it’s probably worth the investment, and you should see a bump in value if or when you sell your property.

Since DIYing a basement remodel isn't typically advised, there are some ways that you can still save money on this project without putting yourself in danger. Some ways to save money on a basement remodel include:

  • Painting walls yourself versus including in the cost of the remodel 

  • Installing light fixtures yourself

  • Choosing prefabricated fixtures, like cabinets, over custom ones

  • Choosing a budget-friendly flooring option, like laminate or vinyl flooring, and add rugs where necessary
