What clients say about working with us
Unedited Google reviews, including a finished basement in Weston.
“Ezequiel was the best at helping through the entire process of my basement remodel in Weston, CT. from planning and budgeting through execution to my satisfaction, the price was ideal for the quality of work that i received I would certainly recommend working with them.”
So I just had these guys do a full reno on my multifamily in Derby, two kitchens and two bathrooms, and honestly I'm still kind of amazed it only took five weeks.
This is the 2nd job we have had EZEFix do for us, we couldn’t be happier! They are kind, hard workers who never fail to show up and get the job done!

Every piece of a finished basement
A finished basement is the cheapest square footage you will ever add to a house — if the moisture, the framing and the electrical are handled properly first. EZEfix & Renovations finishes basements across Fairfield and New Haven Counties, Connecticut. Call it basement finishing, basement remodeling or just finishing the basement: EZEfix & Renovations is the basement finishing contractor that handles the whole job, from the moisture check to the last coat of paint, with licensed trades for the electrical and plumbing and one point of contact for you. We are still adding photos from recent basement projects; browse the gallery in the meantime to see the finish and detail we bring to every job.
11 services, done in the right order: moisture, framing, electrical, then the finishes.
Basement Demolition & Clear-Out
Old paneling, framing, subfloor and storage build-outs removed and hauled, leaving a clean slab and open walls to build from. We flag moisture staining, efflorescence and any active water intrusion before framing starts — finishing over a wet basement is money spent twice.
Framing & Blocking
Partition walls laid out and framed to your plan, with soffits to hide ducts and beams and solid blocking wherever a television, cabinet or handrail will land later. Framing is held off the foundation wall where the assembly calls for it, so nothing wicks.
Non-Load-Bearing Walls & Built-Ins
New partition walls to carve a bedroom, office or gym out of an open basement, plus the built-ins that make it feel finished: closets, built-in cubbies and benches, shelving nooks, a media wall, and storage under the stairs. Framed, insulated for sound where it matters, and drywalled with the rest of the room.
Basement Insulation
Rigid board against the foundation wall as a moisture and thermal break, batt insulation in the stud bays and between joists for sound. A basement loses heat through the slab and the rim joist, and both get addressed rather than just the walls you can see.
Drywall Installation & Finishing
Board hung, taped and finished through three coats to a paint-ready surface, with corner bead set true and screw lines sanded flat. Ceilings are hung so you keep access to shutoffs, cleanouts and junction boxes where you will need them. See Painting & Drywall
Basement Flooring
Luxury vinyl plank over a flattened, moisture-checked slab — the right floor for below grade, where hardwood and laminate do not belong. Minor dips are skim-leveled first so the plank lays flat and the joints stay locked. See Flooring & Tile Installation
Basement Electrical
Outlets, switches and dedicated circuits run with a licensed electrician, plus panel upgrades and new home runs where the existing service will not carry a finished space. Wired to current Connecticut code and ready for inspection.
Recessed & Ceiling Lighting
Recessed lights laid out for a low ceiling, where placement and trim choice do more for the room than fixture count ever will. Fixtures, ceiling fans and dimmers installed with a licensed electrician while the framing is still open — the cheapest time it will ever be done.
Interior Doors, Trim & Millwork
Pre-hung and pocket doors set plumb and swinging true, plus baseboard, casing, crown and custom built-ins. Trim is what stops a finished basement from looking like a finished basement.
Basement Bathroom Addition
A half or full bathroom below grade, with supply and drain rough-in extended or relocated, fixtures set, and the room tiled and vented properly. Plumbing run with a licensed plumber.
Basement Painting
Walls and ceilings primed and finished in two coats, with the correct primer for new board and for any masonry left exposed. See Painting & Drywall

Final walkthrough and warranty
Basement finishing questions, answered
Moisture, bathrooms and who does the trades.
My basement gets damp. Can it still be finished?
It has to be dealt with first. Before framing starts we flag moisture staining, efflorescence and any active water intrusion, because finishing over a wet basement is money spent twice. Once the moisture is handled, rigid board goes against the foundation wall as a moisture and thermal break and framing is held off the wall so nothing wicks.
Can you add a bathroom in the basement?
Yes. A half or full bathroom below grade, with the supply and drain rough-in extended or relocated, fixtures set, and the room tiled and vented properly. The plumbing is run with a licensed plumber.
Do I need to hire separate electricians, plumbers and drywall crews?
No. We are the general contractor, and our own trade partners handle the electrical and plumbing. You have one point of contact from the first call to the final walkthrough.
Basement finishing or basement remodeling: is there a difference?
Not in how we build it. Finishing usually means turning an unfinished basement into living space for the first time; remodeling means redoing a basement that was finished before, often badly. Both start with the moisture check, the framing and the electrical, and both get the same permit and inspections. Tell us which one you have and we quote the work that is actually needed.
How long does it take to finish a basement?
Most basements take several weeks on site once the permit is in hand, longer with a bathroom, because the plumbing rough-in and its inspection come before the walls close. The quote comes with a dated schedule, and the inspections are built into it rather than added at the end.
What happens at the free site visit?
We come to the house at no charge, measure the space and talk through what you want it to do. You get options at three budget levels and straight advice on which materials are worth it and which are not, plus the permit and timeline picture. Within a few days you have an itemized written quote. There is no obligation and no salesperson: the person at your door is the one who builds it.
