"I first asked Jeff at Northgate to take out our old basement bathroom and build a new one 4 years ago. He did a great job for a reasonable price. He recently completed a total basement renovation and upstairs bathroom. Everything down to the studs. Again, did a wonderful job in about a month. He really deserves all the excellent reviews he has had. He always keeps you in touch and fixes any problems right away. We will be happy to have him do our kitchen soon. You will not find anyone better."

"I cannot say enough about these guys. Their prices were reasonable and about average compared to other companies. The owner, Dave was great to work with, he kept us updated on a daily basis, and was there every morning to look things over and help get the guys set up. The workers were there at 7 am every day. Work was done well within the given timeframe. Everything was left clean each day. They built a bedroom in our basement, and gutted and remodeled a bathroom, we couldn’t be happier with both projects. Very professional, highly recommend."

"I hired Long Island handyman construction group to remodel a 400sf basement and bathroom in Melville. They were priced in the middle compared to other bids. I picked them thanks to their out of the box advice which saved me thousands of dollars. There was one problem with the plumbing which cost an extra 1800 dollars. The owner settled with me 50/50 even though it was a pre-existing issue. The project was started early and completed early. All mess was cleaned up and the crew was very friendly and fully aware. Very reputable guys and very easy to deal with. Thanks Moises and Eddy."

"We've never had luck with major home modifications—this was smooth sailing the entire way. Our project was a teardown and complete re-side, and Cocos did a fantastic job. We have a tricky home with a lot of angles that make no sense—Cocos did a brilliant job strategizing how everything should be executed, and the 50-year-old home looks brand new. Danielle, Keith and Matt not only executed at the highest level, they stayed in communication literally every day to make sure there were no surprises and that we were happy with the progress. If you're looking for a home siding partner, don't hesitate to hire Cocos. They were top notch and we are very happy/"

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Yes, most general contractors require an initial down payment. A reasonable deposit is typically between 10% and 25% of the total project cost, although this can vary by project size and location. This upfront payment helps the contractor cover initial costs like materials, permits, licensing, and hiring subcontractors. The remaining balance is usually billed according to a schedule outlined in your contract, often tied to project milestones or completion dates. Be cautious of contractors who ask for a large deposit of 50% or more, as this could be a red flag for a scam.

Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction. 

Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.

It’s less expensive to finish your basement than it is to build an addition to your home. The average cost to refinish a basement is $32,000 (between $7 and $23 per square foot) while building an addition to your home costs $50,325 ($80 to $210 per square foot). Depending on the size of your basement and other factors, like moving plumbing and electrical, refinishing a basement is a more cost-effective option in most cases.

Yes, it is possible to turn a regular basement into a walkout basement. Doing so involves excavating the land around at least one side of your basement foundation, installing retaining walls to create a permanent below-grade area outside your home, and then cutting into the foundation to install an exterior door that leads out to the new space. This is an expensive and time-consuming project, but it can add a lot of value and utility to your home.

Renovations that add functionality or more comfortable floor space generally add the most value when remodeling your home. Attic or basement finishing can add floor space without altering the home's structure, saving you renovation money while adding valuable space. Smaller improvements, such as installing smart-home components or replacing entry doors and windows, also experience high ROIs.
