"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

Lifting a house and adding a basement is one way to add usable square footage. Lifting or jacking a house is a complex process, and it can be expensive, not to mention that you won’t be able to live in your house while it’s lifted, due to safety concerns. Lifting a house should only be done by experienced professionals.

Adding an extension or addition to your home costs more than a loft conversion in all but the rarest cases where the home's structural integrity is lacking. Because a home addition requires a new foundation section or significant structural upgrades to handle a cantilevered portion, the cost compared to almost any loft conversion is significantly greater for the same square footage.

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.

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.

Walkout basements are not generally included in a home’s square footage, although they may be if they meet certain conditions that depend on local regulations. A finished walkout basement used as a living space may be counted toward square footage in some locations as long as all codes for livable space are met.
