Add living space without the expense of an addition. A finished basement is an investment well worth making — Braendel Services is here to make your cellar better!
Get a QuoteToo much commotion on the ground floor? Peace of mind may be right beneath your feet. Finished basements are highly versatile living spaces that can be utilized for work, play, or relaxation. Because they are isolated from the action upstairs, they are the perfect place to get away, any time of day. Make your Western New York home a haven with the skilled basement finishing professionals at Braendel Services Buffalo.
How do I waterproof my basement?
Moisture in a basement is a recipe for mold. Before finishing your basement, be sure to:
- Seal small gaps and cracks in the foundation
- Install diverters to keep gutter water away
- Invest in a dehumidifier if necessary
Constant or severe flooding may be a sign of a greater issue. In these instances, consult a professional.
How much headroom do I need in my basement?
Most building codes require a certain amount of headroom. If your basement is too shallow, it's possible to dig out the floor and lower it. This process is expensive, however.
What should I do if I have exposed pipes?
If your basement has exposed pipes, cover them with foam insulation sleeves to trap heat and stop condensation from dripping onto the walls and floors.
Do I need a window in my basement?
If you're creating a habitable space in your basement, such as a family room or bedroom, then you're required by law to have an egress window in case of an emergency. If you don't have one already, you'll need to install one as part of the finishing process.
I have been dealing with Jeff from Braendel's for 3 years now. They painted my historic 1851 home deep in the heart of Allentown, New York. They were the best quote. They did the job clean without us even being bothered of their presence. I had a few small spots 2 years later that were peeling and Jeff had his crew come out and do touchups with no questions asked.
I know that this stuff is expected when you hire someone, but this is not always the case. I give them 2 thumbs up and I am very picky, having been in the customer service industry my whole life. I hope this helps in this emotional decision.
We recently had the exterior of our house and shed painted and were very happy with the quality of the work and the price was reasonable.
If there was anything keeping us from a 5 star rating it was only the time it took to complete. We were originally quoted 3 days but it took about a week. I got the impression they were a little tight on staff.
I will say Tom and Rob were very friendly and professional and did very good work! The few minor concerns and touch ups we had were addressed the same day we brought them up. Good job guys!
If you are need of an excellent, professional painting company, please contact Jeff or Danny at Braendel Painting Services, Inc. I received a call back the same day from Jeff to set up an appointment to give us a quote which he did while he was here. He said it would take 7 days to complete the interior of our home and they were done a 1/2 day early. Both Randy and I loved having Mike and Frank here to paint. They were so professional, worked so hard during the day and took pride in their work. We felt very comfortable having them in our home. They got us hooked on 91.7 FM and we are now fans as they are. They left the house in excellent condition each night. Please do not hesitate to call them for your painting needs.
We recently had our great room and entry painted and hardwood flooring installed by Braendel. All the personnel were professional, friendly, and hard working. They were courteous and accommodating of our needs and requests. The workmanship was excellent and the crews did a thorough clean up. We would definitely hire them again and recommend the company to friends and family.
Jeff and Dan were easy to work with and the only contractor that understand my budget constraints and worked with me. They completed several projects for me in 2019. I wish I found them first! I initially contacted Braendel for interior & exterior painting, then expanded to several projects. All the workers were pleasant and helpful. Of the 10 + contractors I've hired for extensive work, he & 1 other are the only ones that started and finished when they said they would. Also, on time each day. Note - The only issue is the pricing for painting was higher than anyone else but would not deter me hiring.
