Irondequoit sits between Lake Ontario and Irondequoit Bay, and parts of town carry a high water table. That makes water management the first job of any basement finish — and it’s exactly where Alex Renovation starts before framing a single wall.
In lower-lying Irondequoit lots, we assess drainage and sump capacity and waterproof the space before insulating and framing, so the finished basement stays dry through wet springs and snowmelt.
Below-grade insulation also keeps the space comfortable against the cold transferred through foundation walls in winter.
Basement finishing in Irondequoit typically requires Town / Monroe County permits, particularly when adding a bedroom (egress window required), bathroom, or electrical circuits. We handle permits and inspections.
Yes. When your basement improvements project requires permits, we handle the Monroe County / Irondequoit building-department application, schedule the inspections, and keep all documentation on your behalf.
Cost depends on scope, materials, and the condition of the space. Use our cost calculator for a ballpark, then request a free assessment for a firm, written estimate tailored to your Irondequoit home.
The finishing improvements that make a dry basement usable — flooring, paint and drywall repair, trim, doors, and lighting — plus refreshing an already-finished space.
No — those are larger structural and plumbing projects outside what we take on. We are glad to point you to a specialist, then handle the flooring, paint, and trim once the space is built.
Not until it is dry. We will tell you honestly to fix drainage and grading first; finishing over moisture just traps it and fails. Once dry, we handle the flooring and finishes.
