"Lionel and his team of workers did great work. I Originally went with a different contractor who did a complete botched job on our kitchen renovation. We were without a usuable kitchen for more than 2 months and had no water in our kitchen. It was a horrible experience so we fired the unreliable contractor. Lionel and his workers came to the rescue and took on the challenge. They were fast and efficient, began super early in the day 7-8am and finished early 3-4pm and came back the next day to do more. They even worked weekends and on some holidays. They were very neat, always cleaned up behind themselves. They were also open to corrections you pointed out to them and never took offense. Overall, they did reliable work and I would highly recommend them."

On top of that, a contractor will lay out the project, and plan, problem solve and execute all while staying on schedule and in budget! I love my kitchen now. If you need any renovations I, HIGHLY, recommend these guys."

"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!"

"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."

"I used these guys for a remodeling job which included bathroom renovation, some minor electrical work, knocking down and installing new dry wall and painting. Class acts! We all hear horror stories about contractors not calling you back or not showing up on time or showing up at all. Not these guys! Hector, Moises and their crew really did exactly what they said they were going to do. Friendly, responsive and oh yea, solid work! Professional through and through! Highly recommend them and would use them again!"

"Rave reviews for Dominick and the crew at HD Renovations. We partnered with them on a high-visibility commercial bathroom modification project at UBS Arena in Elmont, and they knocked it out of the park. Dominic showed up right on time with the exact crew size needed, scoped the work accurately, and finished ahead of schedule. When tight counter clearances and tricky fixture fits came up, Dominick didn't hit us with nickel-and-dime surcharges—he took the initiative to fix it on the fly and ensured everything lined up perfectly. Proficient, meticulous, and handled on-site changes with complete professionalism. Reliable commercial trades are hard to come by—HD Renovations is top-tier. Looking forward to the next job with them."

"I couldnt be more thrilled with the recent flooring remodel in my bedroom! The transformation is absolutely stunning, and the attention to detail is remarkable. The new floors have completely elevated the space, making it feel both cozy and sophisticated. The craftsmanship is flawless, with every plank perfectly aligned and finished to perfection. Not only does the room look beautiful, but it feels warmer and more inviting. The entire experience, from selection to installation, was seamless and professional. I highly recommend this team for anyone looking to bring new life to their home through quality flooring. Truly a dream come true!"

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

For most basement remodels, you’ll want to hire a general contractor. This is for a number of reasons, but the main two are that general contractors have dedicated teams they are comfortable with, and hiring one means you only have to deal with one pro. You may also get a better project quote since they can lump all their work and subcontracting into a single quote. 

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

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.

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.

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.
