"Barry was easy to communicate with and flexible when scheduling. Once he and his team arrived, it was a very relaxed process that made us feel very comfortable. They ended up fixing knicks and cracks in the walls we didn't even know about or ask for. The job took only 3 days and they handled our furniture and belongings with care. We are very satisfied with the quality of work and highly recommend Barry Bush Home Improvements Llc."

"Perfectly. Carl met with me for a challenging problem/project I had previously hired (years ago) another contractor to solve/install. It involved installing a natural stone “stairway,“ with landings, on two small hills. The previous contractor did not succeed. Carl assessed and knew instantly what needed to be done, gave me a reasonable price, communicated effectively, always showed up on time with his crew and, at the risk of sounding hyperbolic, did a perfect job. Every member of his crew was customer and project focused. I already plan to welcome them back for another project elsewhere on my property."

"Mike and his team at MDK Remodeling did an amazing job on our new Trex deck. They were friendly, professional and very easy to work with. They were very communicative on the project and with updates required from our township. Would definitely recommend MDK for remodeling needs."

"Patch and Paint were consummate professionals. They knew we had a baby on the way, and both reception and consultants worked to get here quickly; painters were scheduled quickly and completed the work on time (a bit early, actually). The work looks clean, professional, and has incredible attention to detail. They worked to choose products that were specific to the needs of our home, like tobacco staining and lead encapsulation. I would definitely recommend this company and will hire them in the future for other painting projects beyond my own capabilities."

"????? Highly Recommended Review: Funari Public Adjusters I am writing to share my experience with Funari Public Adjusters, and I cannot say enough about the exceptional service provided by the owners, Chris and Vito, and their entire team of experts. From the very first call, they were immediately available and responsive, helping me during my critical time of need. The team went above and beyond in every aspect?from assigning a dedicated representative to handle my claim, to guiding me through the entire process from start to finish. Every staff member I interacted with was friendly, professional, and extremely helpful whenever I had questions. I have used this company on three separate occasions, and each time they exceeded my expectations: When a neighbor?s tree fell on the back portion of my home. When I experienced a theft at my rental property, resulting in damages and losses. Most recently, after heavy rains caused significant roof damage to my home, including my top-floor"

"Chip and the team did a fantastic job on our master bathroom! We really liked the coach approach to the project! After a consultation and some measurements we had a shopping list and some guidelines. Chip would check in from time to time and was available to answer any questions we had during the purchasing phase. We also received a project worksheet that was updated weekly via email with a summary of the project's status during the work phase. The guys were great, all skilled and a pleasure to be around. We'll definitely be contacting them for future projects!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Bala Cynwyd, 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.
