"They were easy to work with and the job came out great. After the basement remodel, we had them back to install bathroom and other cabinets. All went well, even with a different crew. Dave knows how to guide the customer to make good choices. Company is very dependable and prices are reasonable/competitive."

"Robert is a trustworthy and skilled professional. Our family has engaged his services on multiple occasions -- most recently to install flooring in our basement -- and plan to do so in the future for additional remodeling work. Robert and team are reliable and perform great work (at a great value)."

"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."

"Tom and his crew of men were great! They repaired a gutted basement apartment that was water damaged. They provided top notch quality work and finished sooner than was agreed upon. Their work encompassed sheet rock, taping and sanding, spackle, painting, plumbing, installing vinyl flooring and wood moldings and they removed all debris. It was nice to have them able to do it all for me. We signed the work order and they were on the job the next morning. It was my pleasure dealing with Tom who did all he said that he was going to do! I thank him for his fast, quality work and very fair price and I would highly recommend him to everyone. Bill N."

"From start to finish everything was easy. Bob walked us through a plan to completely renovate our kitchen, living room, bedrooms, basement and bathroom. Nothing had been updated since 1975 and now everything is brand new. They worked fast and efficient. Will be bringing them back in the spring for more updates on the outside of the house. Nice to have someone give you their word and then follow through even better than we imagined."

"Yet another great experience working with Nunez Construction. (You can see my earlier reviews, dating back to 2013). Nunez and his team renovated my full bathroom beautifully. It took approximately 9 business days to complete. The work is top quality and, as always, Nunez went beyond and above. The bathroom looks beautiful and his team comprises very respectful and hard workers."

"Great! It turned out beautifully. I wouldn't have anyone else do my construction work. They are simply the best! It's really nice to see the owner of the company working side by side with his crews. He cares and he is honest and provides the highest quality of work. And they won't try to charge you for stuff you don't actually need. I already plan to hire him again in the future. I would highly recommend this company to ANYONE!"

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

There are several small, inexpensive upgrades you can make to upgrade your basement. Although you still need to adhere to building codes and obtain permits when necessary, you can complete small but mighty tasks like painting the masonry walls and installing entertainment devices to make the space more usable. 

When considering finishing your basement, take into account a few pros and cons:

Pros

  • Can increase the value of your home

  • Separate space from the rest of the house 

  • Customize and personalize the basement to suit your needs and style

  • Increase the amount of living space in your home

Cons

  • May not regain enough value to cover the cost of finishing

  • Lack of natural light if it’s below ground level

  • Moisture or flooding can cause costly damage

  • Installing plumbing and electrical can be messy and costly

Efficient appliance positioning, optimizing existing plumbing, and sourcing energy-efficient materials reduce financial impact and increase sustainability.

Kitchens and bathrooms are typically the most expensive rooms to renovate. The high cost is due to several factors, including expensive appliances like ranges, hoods, and refrigerators, as well as costly fixtures. The 'bones' of the room, such as electrical and plumbing, are also expensive to move or replace. Because of the vast amount of prep work, finishing, and specialized labor involved in a relatively small footprint, these projects can cost double or more than a living space remodel. Even when trying to renovate on a budget, kitchens and bathrooms will likely carry a hefty price tag.

Yes, most general contractors require an initial down payment, typically between 10% and 25% of the total project cost. This upfront payment helps cover the costs of materials, permits, and subcontractors. The remaining project costs are usually billed after specific project milestones are reached or on set completion dates, as outlined in your contract. Be wary of contractors who require a significant deposit of 50% or more upfront, as this could be a red flag for a scam.
