"Basement was finished to agreed upon contract specifications and Matt was very communicative throughout the process. I would highly recommend them as a contractor. Matt provides solutions based on budget and your basement can be as simple or as elaborate as you want it to be. I was able to add a lot of living space and a full bathroom as well as maintain the storage space I wanted. Like I said, I’d recommend them to anyone looking for good craftsmanship and a fair price."

"Theyâ re the best contractors we ever worked with. They took our large basement from unfinished to a fabulous space. Scott included us every step of the way, seeking our input and offering advice on the best way forward. He and his team took out plans, improved them and delivered a great basement. He was easy to work with and delivered what he said he would do."

"The kitchen was completed gutted and rebuilt within 3 weeks. Matt worked with us on every aspect of the remodel and addressed everything we had on our wish list. On all the projects Matt and his people were here every day until the work was completed to our satisfaction. When they left each day the work site was spotless. We have been happy to recommend MNB Renovations to our friends and family and plan on having Matt back when we are ready for our next project(s)."

"Terrence and crew were absolutely fantastic. Terrence was certainly communicative, punctual, and definitely on budget. He made some wonderful suggestions and came up with creative solutions for any problems that arose. The original estimate was very close to what the final cost was (of course there are always some additional costs to the final bill) as any additional costs were discussed and approved first. We had a full bathroom remodel done. He tore down to the studs and rebuilt. The finished product is truly amazing. I can?t recommend T &J construction enough, and I won?t hesitate to call Terrence in the future when we need more work done. I will add photos later"

"Recently I hired Rigas to change the drop ceiling tiles in my barbershop and overall, I am so happy with the results. He was extremely professional, and he kept me in the loop throughout the job. It wound up being very tedious work. Halfway through I realized I had hired the perfect guy for the job. The quality of his work is excellent and his attention to detail was just as good. I am so happy with the final product. I wouldn?t hesitate to hire him for another project. I highly recommend Regal Peak Contracting! ?????"

"The gentlemen who did the work were very efficient.  The price was good, as was the work.  They were also helpful with advice on parts of the job we had to have done later (but they weren't doing)--all around honest and helpful.  There was just some issue with the start date, but that was due to other jobs being delayed because of rain and not a big issue. <br />"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Bethlehem, 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.
