Licensed basement remodeling contractor serving NYC homeowners with finishing, legal conversions, waterproofing, egress, permits, inspections, and complete project delivery.
(718) 281-6000
A basement remodeling contractor manages framing, insulation, electrical and plumbing rough-in, waterproofing and drainage, and DOB permits — required for any basement being converted into legal habitable space, not just cosmetic finishing.
Egress is the line most homeowners miss: a basement bedroom isn’t legal in NYC without a compliant egress window, and DOB will flag it at inspection if it’s skipped. Adding one after the fact means excavation and structural work that a contractor should have priced in from the start.
Waterproofing and a working sump system also aren’t optional — basements are the room most likely to fail inspection or flood without them, and skipping this step doesn’t show up until the first hard rain, long after the contractor is gone.
Ceiling height, moisture, and existing drainage conditions vary block to block in NYC, so a contractor who works in the borough regularly knows what to check before framing starts — not after drywall is up and the problem is buried.
Mews handles all of it in-house — one project manager runs the job from demo to certificate of occupancy sign-off, where applicable, coordinating every trade, filing, and inspection so nothing falls on you to chase down.
