With US HOME / STARS AND STRIPES has been servicing homeowners for more than 25 years. Customer preference and priorities are always first. We're very timely with our work and never lose attention to detail. Give us a call for your free estimate.Deal direct with owner. FULLY LICENSED: Suffolk County Nassau County

"I can’t recommend Stars and Stripes highly enough for anyone considering a home renovation. From big projects like installing new countertops and a backsplash to smaller details like fixing the track on my sliding closet doors, everything was completed with exceptional care and attention to detail. What really sets them apart, though, is the trust factor. I’m not someone who’s usually comfortable leaving people alone in my home—but with Stars and Stripes, I never once had to worry. They were respectful, reliable, and I always felt my home was in good hands. It's rare to find that kind of peace of mind with contractors, and it's what will keep me coming back for future projects."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Although homeowners often use the terms basement remodeling and basement finishing interchangeably, they are quite different terms. 

Finishing a basement is the process of taking a basement space that is not habitable and adding elements to make it usable. This includes adding plumbing, flooring, and insulation.

Remodeling a basement means taking an already existing finished basement and changing it, often by adding or removing walls, adding plumbing, or changing the existing flooring.

The best type of basement ventilation system depends on your budget, the moisture in your basement’s air, and the types of windows you have down there. You should consider all of these factors when choosing a ventilation system. However, the most effective method for basement ventilation is an energy recovery ventilator (ERV) or a whole-house ventilation system, which preheats or precools incoming air from the outside while also managing water vapor.

Making a window in a basement larger costs an average of $4,200. You’ll need to pay an average of $550 to have a structural engineer plan the project, $500 to $1,500 for the installation labor, and an average of $2,200 for the excavation and window well installation. The remainder will go toward pulling permits, installing trim, and repairing drywall on the interior.

Common mistakes when finishing basement walls include neglecting proper insulation, insufficient moisture management, and poor ventilation. Not addressing these issues can lead to mold growth, water damage, and discomfort. Additionally, inadequate planning, improper framing, and rushing the project can result in subpar outcomes. 

It's essential to follow best practices, seek professional guidance if needed, and prioritize thoroughness and attention to detail.

A finished basement does not always count as square footage, though this varies by state regulations. You may live in an area that allows for below-grade spaces to be considered in a home's official square footage. In those cases, the basement must meet certain conditions, like having a functional egress and being a livable space with flooring, finished walls, and temperature control. Your local assessor can confirm your area's policies regarding basement square footage.
