Overview

Basement Finishing in Western New York

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 finished.

MHR handles partial finishes, full basement finishing, and complete build-outs with bathrooms and bedrooms. We inspect conditions first, build a written scope, then coordinate licensed trades where required.
