Whole-home work moves in phases. Demo, framing, rough-in, finish — each phase has to close cleanly before the next opens. Our crew at MHI Renovation Services treats each home like our own. That means dust control, daily cleanup, and a project manager who picks up the phone.

Materials, Selections, and What to Expect
Basement finishing starts with moisture control. A dry basement before framing is non-negotiable. Interior drains, sump pump with battery backup, and a dehumidifier run during finishing all prevent trapped moisture from ruining new drywall.
We walk every homeowner through product options during the estimate visit. You pick the look. We confirm it fits the budget and the space. No pressure, no upsell theater. Browse finished projects in our gallery for reference.
Service Area
Our office sits in Yonkers, which puts most Westchester towns inside a 30-minute drive. Quick response on emergencies and punch-list items is part of the service. Learn more about our team and how we work.
Project Timeline and Budget
Basement finishing budgets range from $45,000 for a simple open rec room to $150,000 for a full suite with bath, bar, and separate entrance. Whole-home renovations start around $200,000 and rise based on scope and finishes selected.
We publish a written schedule on day one and update it weekly. Budgets lock in with a signed contract and material allowances broken out line by line. You know where every dollar goes before demo starts.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in a basement finish?
Framing, insulation, drywall, flooring, lighting, electrical, HVAC extension, and trim. Plumbing for a bath or bar is quoted separately.
Do I need permits for a basement finish?
Yes, in Yonkers and most Westchester towns. Egress, ceiling height, and electrical work all require permits and inspections.
Can a basement be converted into a legal apartment?
Sometimes. Yonkers has specific rules on ceiling height, egress, and separate utilities. We review the site before quoting.
