Basement Finishing in New York
Turn an unfinished basement into living space. Novum lines up a licensed remodeling pro, gets you a detailed upfront quote, and stays on the project to the end. Serving New York and surrounding New York communities — same vetted pros, same upfront pricing, same Novum Guarantee.
Pre-war co-ops, brownstones, and walk-ups dominate, so jobs often involve aging cast-iron plumbing, knob-and-tube or fuse-box electrical, steam radiators, and tight access with building-management rules. Winters are cold and wet; summers are humid. We cover Upper West Side, Park Slope, Astoria, Riverdale, and the rest of the five boroughs — see every Novum service in New York.
Every pro Novum sends is licensed, insured, and vetted — and Novum stays accountable for the job.
You approve the price before we start. No hourly rates, no surprise charges.

Basement Finishing in New York: what to know
Brownstone cellars and the detached homes of Riverdale and Bay Ridge tend to be damp, with old masonry walls and low ceilings, so moisture control and a drop ceiling that preserves access to pipes come first. Late spring and early fall are the easiest times to dry out and build. Finishing for living space or adding a bathroom often needs a permit from the city, and bedrooms must meet egress and ceiling-height rules.
