"After my family and I decided to move back to the old Queens house I grew up in to live above my mom, we quickly realized there were many things that needed to be repaired. I've counted on Nunez Construction and Painting for all of it. The first job they did was to repair some siding on the house. Prior to our move, we then wanted to gut and remodel the second floor apartment where we live. Mr. Nunez and his crew did a great job. More recently, our basement became flooded with sewage. We called him again to help with this project and install a new floor. We are always very satisfied customers. The work is great and reasonably priced. We can't thank him enough for being a wonderful person and company to work with."

"Kazi and his crew did excellent work on our basement and cornice. They worked efficiently and left everything in great shape. Our basement walls were crumbling and now they are clean and dry; and, our cornice is ready for the winter. Thank you Kazi!"

"I’m so pleased with the remodel of my powder room! Proper Contracting did an outstanding job from start to finish. They were timely, kept the workspace spotless, and kept me informed every step of the way so I could make important decisions about fixtures and placement. They were courteous, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Their pricing was fair, and they seamlessly incorporated the materials and fixtures I had purchased separately. I couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend Proper Contracting!"

Customers say: Quick response

"Minar and his team did a bunch of foundational work on our Brooklyn brownstone, which included new outside stucco back wall, roof, gutter and flashing installation, basement wall filling and sealing, new basement sewage/gas/water pipes, painting and patching of two floors (including around intricate original plaster work, minor electrical installation, front gas light installation and front door stripping/sanding/refinishing. Throughout the entire process, Minar was extremely responsive by call/text and available until late at night if needed. His team was timely, responsive, and efficient -- arriving when they said they would, taking good care of their work, and finishing on schedule. They did a great job with everything they did, and we would recommend them to others."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

The time it takes to finish or remodel a basement can vary significantly, ranging from a few weeks to several months or even up to a year. On average, the construction phase can take four to eight weeks, but the total project time can extend to three or four months when including planning and permits. The timeline depends on several factors, including the basement's size, design complexity, the scope of the work, and your contractor's availability. A more detailed breakdown for an average-sized basement might include: framing (3-5 days), electrical and rough-in plumbing (3-5 days), drywall installation (5 days), flooring (2-3 days), and final touches like painting and trim (about a week). If preliminary work like installing a waterproofing system or addressing structural issues is needed, the timeline could extend to six to twelve months. Factors like difficult access, material transport, and ventilation needs can also add to the project's duration.

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

Walkout basements cost more than other kinds of basements, and can also increase your risk of leaks as well as a loss of insulation, leading to higher heating and cooling costs. Improperly installed walkout basements may lead to structural issues with your foundation, so ensure you’re working with a contractor who has extensive experience with this kind of basement.

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.

When choosing materials for finishing basement walls, consider factors such as moisture resistance, durability, and fire resistance. Opt for materials specifically designed for basement environments, like moisture-resistant drywall or cement board. Insulation with vapor barriers can help regulate temperature and prevent condensation. Consider using mold-resistant paints or coatings. 

Research and consult with experts to select materials that are suitable for your specific basement conditions and intended use. Prioritize quality and compatibility to achieve long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing results.
