"If you're looking to remodel, hire Bud at Above & Beyond Contracting! Him and his crew were reliable, trustworthy, friendly and easy to work with. His quote was by far the most detailed & fair I received. If there was an issue, he put your mind at ease and took care of it. He recommended details I didn't even think of and it elevated the remodel & I love it. I am so happy with my renovation and couldn't be happier that I went with Above & Beyond Contracting."

"In early April 2025, my wife and I purchased a home in Cochecton, NY. Although, it was in immediate move in condition, as always, there an issue that needs to be taken care of. For one of those issues, we reached out to Angi’s list, in in about 30 seconds, we received a call from Wilson Gomez, and in about 45 seconds, he was in our basement. We discussed the issue at hand, and to our surprise, Wilson thought it was not an issue, hence, he was about to leave, obviously without a job. We then asked him about the basement floor, which was then all concrete. What happened next was a conversion, from just a regular concrete floor to a beautiful, laminated floor, plus the encasement of our boiler system, and HVAC. This job was done over a span of two days. And we overly satisfied, with the entire project. We then had him construct an outdoor vegetable garden structure, to protect our potential vegetables from the neighborhood deer’s. Wilson deserves a "AAA", rating."

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.

Yes, you can add a bathroom to an unfinished basement, but you’ll want to take proper precautions if doing so. As with any bathroom addition, you’ll need to make sure that it’s approved by local building authorities first. With unfinished basements, you especially need to keep an eye on proper ventilation practices.

Yes. Renovating your basement has a return on investment (ROI) of 75%, meaning your remodel investment will significantly increase the value of your home. Besides the ROI, your family can enjoy a larger, more usable space while you live there. 

Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.

A finished basement does not always count as square footage, as this varies by state regulations. In areas that allow below-grade spaces to be included in a home's official square footage, the basement must typically meet certain conditions. These conditions often include having a functional egress and being a livable space with flooring, finished walls, and temperature control. To be certain, contact your local assessor to confirm your area's specific policies regarding basement square footage.
