"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."

"Dominick did an excellent job on my project, which was to scrape our bathroom ceiling, do some light replastering, and prime and paint with a special anti-mold paint. He and his assistant arrived on time both days, took great care to protect our floors and bathroom, and even vacuumed our ceiling vent for us. His prices are on the high side, but we're thrilled with the result and would work with him again."

"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!"

"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 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

Some older homes have toilets in the basement to combat sewage backups. This type of toilet, also known as a Pittsburgh potty, acted as a safety valve over the incoming sewer line. If a line backed up, it would back up into the toilet because it was the lowest fixture in the home, keeping it out of sight and away from the finished areas of the house.

Basement toilets were also used by workers with messy jobs, like those who worked in coal mines or steel mills. This way, they could clean up and avoid tracking dirt through their home.

A finished basement must have a heat and electrical supply with an entrance that meets building code requirements, such as a stairwell to the home's main living space. It often must include finished walls, ceilings, and floors. If the finished basement includes a bedroom, it should have a heat source, an egress window, and a closet.

Remodeling, as opposed to finishing, means altering an already finished basement by adding a bathroom, bedroom, or living area.

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.

Renovation enhances functionality, increases home value, and can add new space for personal or family needs. It typically modernizes older unfinished basements for new uses.

It’s less expensive to finish your basement than it is to build an addition to your home. The average cost to refinish a basement is $32,000 (between $7 and $23 per square foot) while building an addition to your home costs $50,325 ($80 to $210 per square foot). Depending on the size of your basement and other factors, like moving plumbing and electrical, refinishing a basement is a more cost-effective option in most cases.
