Basement Finishing

Basement Finishing

An unfinished basement is wasted square footage. Salerno Remodeling turns raw basements into functional, comfortable living spaces — home offices, gyms, playrooms, entertainment rooms, guest suites. Jacob manages every step of the build personally.

What Do You Actually Need Down There?

• Before we frame a single wall, we sit down and figure out how you want to use the space. The layout decisions you make now determine how useful it'll be for the next 20 years.

Full Build, Top to Bottom

• Framing, insulation, drywall, flooring, electrical, lighting, drop ceilings or drywall ceilings — we handle the full build so you don't have to piece it together with five different subs.

Code Compliant and Permitted

• Basement builds require permits. We handle all of it — egress windows, electrical panels, ceiling heights — so your finished basement adds real value to your home.

How We Work

A basement build has a clear order of operations. Here's how we move through it efficiently.

Moisture and Waterproofing First

• We assess the space before anything goes in. If there's a moisture issue, we address it before framing — not after the drywall is up.

Framing and Rough-In

• Walls, soffits, electrical rough-in, any plumbing for a basement bathroom — all done before anything gets covered up and inspected.

Insulation and Drywall

• Proper insulation makes your basement comfortable year-round. We don't cut corners on materials that you'll never see but will always feel.

Flooring, Trim, and Finishing

• LVP, carpet, tile — whatever fits your use case. We finish with trim, doors, and fixtures that match the rest of your home.

Final Inspection and Walkthrough

• We don't call it done until it passes inspection and you're happy with every inch of the space.
