BASEMENT FINISHING · MONROE COUNTY
Basement Finishing in Greater Rochester
Finishing a basement adds living space without the cost of an addition. We do framing, insulation, drywall, flooring, lighting — and the egress, code, and permitting that goes with making a basement legally habitable.
What's typically included
- Moisture assessment and drainage recommendations before finishing
- Framing and stud wall installation
- Insulation (rigid foam + batt combination typical for Monroe County)
- Drywall hang, tape, and finish
- Suspended or drywall ceiling options
- Flooring installation (LVP, carpet, or tile)
- Egress window installation (where required by code)
- Electrical rough-in, outlets, recessed lighting
How long does a basement finishing project take?
Basement finishing typically takes 4–8 weeks depending on size and scope. Egress window installation adds time if required.
What does it cost?
Basement finishing typically runs $25–$50 per square foot for a basic finish. A 1,000 sq ft basement with a simple layout often runs $25,000–$45,000. Complex builds with bathrooms, bars, or egress work cost more. Request a free estimate for a real number.
