"From the first call until our final walk-through, Matt made the process easy, fair, and enjoyable. He was highly responsive, making sure our questions and concerns were addressed promptly. We enjoyed the process because things were organized and Matt did a great job making sure we were always aligned and aware of what was happening and when. He also made sure that if something didn’t go correctly, he took ownership when appropriate and quickly worked to resolve any issues that came up along the way. We have already recommended Taproot to a few of our friends!"

"Rigas is a true pro! No BS. The guy is punctual, professional, and more than fair. His work was done at my shop a few years ago and is holding up very well! He also used a non toxic finish which I greatly appreciated. Don?t hesitate to reach out to Rigas for a variety of carpentry needs and anything else in the construction realm. If you need it done I?m confident he can do it!"

"Matt and his team with MNB Renovations did a 32 x 24 addition that was basically a home build from the ground up. I am still surprised for the size of this project how stress free the process was. Matt was very detailed and checked in on everything to make sure we were getting what we wanted. In the end he asked us to make a list of anything that needed to be addressed and there was absolutely nothing to mention. They did a perfect job, the quality of the work is amazing, and the entire team was very nice, professional, and trustworthy! I absolutely recommend this company to others and will definitely use them again in the future!"

"We are thrilled with the work we had done. Marlon wallpapered a high wall (cathedral ceiling) and it came out perfectly. The seams are invisible and the pattern is matched perfectly, even on the light switches he covered. Marlon also caulked and painted in our den and that job is also outstanding. He will be doing other work for us in the future. "

"Grayson and Caleb were outstanding from start to finish. they were professional, courteous, and respectful throughout the entire process of our home office and basement renovations. Both were extremely skilled at their work and patient as we worked through the details of the project. Grayson, in particular, went above and beyond to help with the technological aspects of my home office, making sure everything was set up exactly the way I needed. I couldn't be happier with the results and would gladly work with this team again for future projects. Michele H-"

"Very happy we had Contek repair and remodel our living room. Started with a prompt visit by Corey and a detailed quote shortly after, and we then got on their schedule about 6 weeks later. Job consisted of removing and repairing a large area of the ceiling that was water damaged, removing a 9' picture window and also repairing water damage around that, refinishing that with two smaller double-hung windows, refinishing it all inside and outside, and lastly converting a standard small doored closet into an open mudroom closet. Dan managed the job and was nothing but a complete pleasure to work with. Shawn and crew did the vast majority of the work and were also a pleasure to work with. We did have a few finishing items we weren't initially satisfied with, but I'm only saying this because they made it very clear that they wanted us to be COMPLETELY satisfied, and to tell us of any concerns. Dan really went above and beyond here, and he and the crew addressed each of our concerns. It really was a pleasure having the Contek team work on our home, and now we have a living room we can't wait to show off."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Allentown, 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.
