"We had a great experience with the Lux Renovations and Owens Corning team. The whole process was very easy from designing the space, selecting colors, and having a contract manager who organized the entire basement remodel including all the trades and inspections. We were sold on the Owens Corning materials for the basement and that they were engineered specifically for a basement space. Would highly recommend this team for your basement remodel needs."

"Dave from Remodeling Experts did an awesome job with our bathroom remodeling! On short notice, Dave was able to coordinate the removal of our old vanity and toilet and returned soon after, after a separate flooring project was completed, to install a new vanity and toilet. The end result was beautiful and I appreciate the communication and coordination that Dave provided throughout the entire experience. I also want to mention that Dave’s price for the job was extremely reasonable! I’ll certainly be hiring Remodeling Experts for all of our future home improvement needs!"

"I had a list of projects needing attention that I either lacked the time or ability to get finished on my own. Kris was amazing to work with, he was down to earth, professional and provided amazing work all around. We had a tricky piece of trim work replaced, some heat strips replaced on the roof and door replacement project. All done in reasonable time for a very reasonable price. Not only will we use them again but we will recommend them to anyone we know looking for a great contractor."

"Philip helped us change a cabinet board under the sink which was damaged by a water leak. He has a lot of knowledge and experience. The price is reasonable. We plan to hire him for our house maintenance and remodeling job in the future."

"Eric previously did a basement remodel for me and I had him come back to remodel three bedroom with new vinyl plank flooring, new recessed lighting, new ceiling fans and new paint. I also added French doors between two of the bedroom as well as in my home office. It all came out looking great. Eric is great to work with, provided me with a clear estimate and always kept me informed of how the project was progressing. I definitely recommend him and would hire him again in the future."

His attention to the details made for proffesional looking renovation. I'm very happy with how everything turned out and would not hesitate to hire these guys again. <br />"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Akron, PA

Finishing a basement turns unused square footage into livable space and returns up to 70% of what you spend when you sell your home. Beyond that resale boost, you gain a playroom, home office, or guest suite you can start enjoying right away. That mix of daily comfort and solid return on investment (ROI) makes basement finishing one of the smartest upgrades you can tackle.

In some parts of the country—especially lots on swamps, high water tables, or other wetlands—local codes prohibit basements. Saturated soil puts constant pressure on foundation walls and lets water seep in faster than any sump pump can handle. 

If your property sits on waterlogged ground, building on a slab or crawl space is often safer, more affordable, and code-compliant.

Most basements wrap up in four to eight weeks. Framing takes three to five days, with electrical and plumbing rough-ins following over the next week. Add five days for drywall, two to three for flooring, and another week for paint, trim, and punch-list items. 

Delays can happen if materials run late or your contractor’s calendar is packed, so build in a little cushion when you plan.

Whether a finished basement counts toward your home’s official square footage depends on local rules. Many areas only include below-grade space if it has code-approved egress, fully finished walls, ceilings, and floors, plus consistent heating. 

Check with your local assessor or building department before you start; meeting those standards can affect taxes, appraisals, and resale value.

Building codes require a checklist: dedicated heat and electrical service, a code-approved stairway, and at least one egress window or exterior door. Walls, ceilings, and floors must be fully finished and meet insulation, ventilation, and fire-separation standards. If you add a bedroom, you’ll also need a closet, proper clearances, and safe exits. If you change the layout later, be ready to update the space so every new room still meets today’s code.
