Long Island Basement Remodeling

Basement Remodeling

Award-winning basement finishing — home theaters, gyms, guest suites and in-law apartments.

Overview

Basement Remodeling done right, the first time

ORA Construction was awarded Best Basement Remodel & Construction on Long Island. Finished basements are the single highest square-foot return many Long Island homeowners can unlock without an addition. We handle dampproofing, vapor barriers, sump and French-drain integration, egress windows, code-compliant ceiling heights, and full mechanical, electrical and finish work.

What's included

  • Home theaters with engineered sound isolation
  • In-law and au pair suites with full kitchens and baths
  • Egress window cuts and steel buck installs
  • Sump-pump, French-drain and dehumidification integration
  • Gym flooring, wet bars, wine cellars and play spaces

Our process

1. Moisture & Code Review

We assess hydrostatic conditions, ceiling height, egress and ventilation before designing.

2. Design

Layout, mechanical routing and finish selections built around the way your family will actually use the space.

3. Build

Framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC tie-ins, drywall and finishes — all under one contract.

4. Inspect & Hand-Off

Final town inspection (where required), walk-through, and warranty paperwork.

Home theaters with engineered sound isolation is one of the most common reasons Long Island homeowners call us — and the area where shortcuts cost the most over a decade.— ORA Construction project lead

What Long Island homeowners say

4.9(100 reviews)
Had the sidewalk and pathway removed, and replaced. Very pleased with the result, looks great, nice having a new sidewalk. Will probably have more work done by Ora. Anthony was very helpful.

Sidewalk & pathway replacement · Syosset, NY

Recently, Anthony and his crew removed and re-surfaced our driveway. He completed the job as scheduled. We were very satisfied with the results and would whole heartedly recommend him for your home improvement needs.

Driveway removal & resurfacing · Manhattan, NY

Anthony built our new home and we couldn't recommend him more highly. His attention to detail is unreal — every room and every finish is exactly where it should be. His eye for design elevated our plans in ways we didn't know to ask for, and the choices he nudged us toward are now the things we love most about the house. On top of that, his deep roots in the community showed up everywhere: top-tier subs whom we loved working with, fast answers from local officials, and the right person for every question we had. A true craftsman and a genuinely good guy to work with.
