"Nate was available within the next day of contacting him to give a reasonable quote, was accommodating in doing his best to do the remodel to our standards and gave many choices for fixtures, sink top and shower. All of his workers kept us informed of what they were doing. Would highly recommend. I love my new bathroom!"

"Loebrich first showed up to provide an estimate for the work I was looking to have done. I contacted 3 companies to provide quotes of the 3 companies, 1 did not provide a quote and another took 3 weeks to get a quote. Before I received the 2nd quote, I already told Loebrich's to perform the work because of the professional manner in which they conducted themselves and it also helped the quote was fair. <br /> Loebrichs showed up on time and completed the initial work in a very professional manner and I was so pleased with the work (the initial job was just the 3 custom doors) that I had them stay for 3 more days completing several other jobs I needed done. The work was very well done and the house was always left cleaner than when the showed up. <br /> Loebrichs also paid very close attention to the little details for example we said we would finish the drywall and paint it. Loebrichs still treated the work as if they were going to finish it themselves which saved us a lot of additional work on our part. <br /> I would highly recommend to anyone that you feel confident in using Loebrich's, you will not be disappointed! <br />"

"Great. Dougs crew is first rate. They showed up and each knew their job. It was a very efficient operation to watch. The mess was kept to a minimum by the strategic placing of several tarps around the job, and any mess that escaped was thoroughly cleaned up by the crew including sweeping with a large magnet for nails. Doug was very reasonable to deal with. I recommend these guys highly."

"Since we are local, they were able to work us into their schedule sooner than planned.  A bunch of guys showed up the first day and they did almost the entire thing in one day.  Just a few guys showed up the second day to finish things up.  They broke a stone on our retaining wall when backing out of the driveway and had it replaced within a few days - at no cost or inconvenience to us.  The ground was left clean and our flower beds were undamaged.  Excellent service and very professional. <br />"

"The owner was reliable, knowledgable, and informative through the whole process. He and his employes were respectful and did an excellent job. We were pleased that the owner of JDV Contracting not only stayed on budget, but saved us money in areas of materials. When he found deals in areas (such as trim), he upgraded us in other areas (such as solid doors from hollow core doors). Whenever he found he could save in other areas, he checked to see if we wanted upgrades or to keep the items we originally planned! We would definitely recommend and use JDV Contracting again!"

"Our sales consultant Rob Culbertson with Pella in McMurray Pa is extremely knowledgeable and professional. Rob is very affable and personable. Both my husband and I enjoyed doing business with Rob. Also, the installers were wonderful. John K and his entire crew were professional, extremely courteous and very hard working. All of the installers were invested in our complete satisfaction with their work. We are now enjoying our windows and patio sliding glass door."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Altoona, 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.
