Basement Finishing & Remodeling in Brighton, NY
GEM Remodeling is a veteran-owned basement finishing contractor serving Brighton and Monroe County. We handle complete basement buildouts ā framing, electrical, plumbing, drywall, flooring, and finish trim. Every project comes with our lifetime craftsmanship warranty.
Basement Finishing for Brighton Homes
Brighton covers Twelve Corners, the U of R corridor, Westfall Road, and the neighborhoods off Elmwood Avenue. We work on Mid-century ranches, Cape Cods, and 1950sā1970s split-levels ā many with partially finished basements that need a complete redo or basements that were never touched.
Brighton basements in older homes sometimes have lower ceilings (7 feet), but strategic lighting, recessed fixtures, and lighter colors make them feel much larger.
What Brighton Homeowners Are Doing Right Now
The most popular basement finishing projects we’re doing in Brighton include home offices (especially with the university crowd), craft rooms, and extra living space. Brighton’s older homes have solid foundations but dated layouts that benefit from a modern open-plan basement finish.
