Overview

A detailed scope before demolition or repair work begins.

Western New York basements require more than drywall and flooring. Moisture, egress, insulation, HVAC, electrical, and code requirements all need to be addressed before the space is closed in.

We use the site visit to verify conditions, measure accurately, identify licensed-trade needs, and separate required work from optional upgrades. Your written proposal defines inclusions, exclusions, material assumptions, milestones, and closeout expectations.

Frequently asked questions

Planning questions before work starts

How long will the project take?

Timeline depends on verified site conditions, selections, material lead times, inspections, and licensed-trade coordination. We establish expectations in writing before scheduling.

Do you provide a written estimate?

Yes. The site visit is used to prepare a written scope and estimate rather than relying on a verbal number or incomplete photos.

Who handles licensed trade work?

Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work requiring licensing is coordinated with verified New York licensed and insured subcontractors.
