We Don't Just Waterproof

We Put Your Basement Back Together

At Bonded Waterproofing Solutions, our services don’t stop at waterproofing. Our in-house crew is experienced in the full range of basement restoration and refinishing work — carpentry, painting, flooring, trim, and finish work — and we bring that same level of care and quality to every project, whether it follows a waterproofing job or stands on its own.

Homeowners across Northern New Jersey and Rockland County, NY have trusted us since 1980 not only to keep their basements dry, but to make them look and feel like a finished, usable part of the home. If you need your basement restored after waterproofing, refinished after years of wear, or simply finished for the first time, our team can handle it from start to finish — one contractor, one call, no coordination headaches.

Water damage doesn’t just affect your foundation — it affects everything in your basement. Once the waterproofing work is complete, the restoration process begins. Our crew assesses what needs to be repaired, replaced, or refinished and handles all of it in-house. From walls and flooring to trim and finish work, we restore your basement to a clean, livable condition so you’re not left managing the aftermath on your own. This is what makes BWS different — we see the job through to the end.

Waterproofing work often requires opening up walls, removing built-ins, or disturbing structural elements that then need to be properly repaired. Our team handles all carpentry work that is part of the restoration process, ensuring everything is rebuilt correctly and cleanly. We don’t patch things together — we restore them properly so the finished result holds up long term.

Once walls are repaired and surfaces are properly dried and sealed, painting is what takes a basement from a work zone back to a finished space. We handle all interior basement painting as part of the restoration, so there’s no need to schedule a separate painter after we leave. The job isn’t done until it looks done.

Basement flooring is often one of the first casualties of water intrusion. Whether existing flooring was damaged by moisture or disturbed during waterproofing work, we handle the flooring restoration as part of the same project. We install flooring appropriate for a below-grade environment that has been properly waterproofed, giving you a clean, finished floor that’s built to last.

This is the step most waterproofing companies skip entirely — and the one that matters most to homeowners. After your basement has been fully waterproofed, our crew comes back through and refinishes the space from top to bottom. Drywall, paint, flooring, trim — everything that was opened up or affected during the waterproofing process gets addressed. You end up with a basement that isn’t just dry, but fully finished and ready to use.

If your basement was already finished before water damage occurred, getting it back to that condition requires more than just stopping the water. It requires a crew that understands finish work and can restore what was there before. We repair finished basements after waterproofing, matching existing materials and finishes as closely as possible so the end result looks like the damage never happened.

The details are what separate a complete restoration from a job that still looks unfinished. Baseboards, molding, trim, and all finish carpentry work are handled by our crew as part of the overall project. These are the final touches that make a restored basement look polished and complete — and we don’t consider the job finished until they’re done.
