What's Included in This Service?

You'll begin with a moisture assessment where foundation walls, floor drains, and sump pump operation are evaluated to determine the best approach for finishing. Raymond basements often require vapor barriers, insulation, and egress planning to meet safety codes. Framing is planned to accommodate ductwork, plumbing lines, and electrical panels, and finish materials are selected for durability and moisture resistance.

TJ Cusano Remodeling uses treated lumber, rigid foam insulation, and moisture-resistant drywall to create comfortable, code-compliant spaces that perform in all seasons. Basement remodeling transforms unfinished areas into functional living areas, offices, bedrooms, or family spaces designed to expand usable square footage. You'll see progress as walls are framed, electrical outlets are installed, and flooring is laid over sealed concrete or subflooring.

Additional steps include installing recessed lighting with LED bulbs, running HVAC ducts to ensure even temperature distribution, and adding trim and paint for a finished appearance. Flooring options include luxury vinyl plank, engineered hardwood, or carpet over padding, all selected for moisture resistance and comfort. Quality measures include sealing foundation cracks, testing sump pumps, and ensuring all egress windows meet local code requirements.
