Basements are not counted as a story. Only the floors above ground.

If your house is a two stories, your ground floor is 0, the upper floor is 1 and the basement is -1

I have a two story single family residence, but a gutter cleaning company tried to charge me extra saying my basement meant I have a three story house. I refused to do business with them. Just interested if this is a common issue or just an attempt to charge more.

Basements and attics are not counted.
