"We love our basement remodel. Peter, Alex and his team were here when they said theyâ d be here, completed the job as described, and kept us updated along the way. The basement now looks and feels clean and bright. The additional space doesnâ t feel like a basement at all and is enjoyed by the whole family. We highly recommend Lux Renovations."

"We hired Mitch and Bob to finish our basement. They gave us a good and through estimate. Mitch made a couple visits prior to starting the job to make sure we were comfortable with the design, layout and timeline and was very open to suggestions. What is great is that they only take up one job at a time and are committed to it. They were on a consistent schedule. The quality of the job is excellent and everything was very collaborative. Would definitely hire them again if needed and recommend to others. They also took care of many smaller requests we had during the time they finished our basement. They were professional and reasonably priced for the excellent quality of work they did and extremely reliable. Thanks Mitch and Bob!"

"We hired Joe to finish/remodel our basement after reviewing so many positive reviews on home advisor. Me and my wife can definitely can say that we are very pleased with Joe. Joe did an excellent job finishing our basement. Worked was done in a timely manner without comprising quality that was paramount for us. Despite a few challenges with the area around Radeon and sub pump. He worked with us with the flexibility to accommodate our concerns and requirement without an additional cost. The best part was that we did make some changes from the original plan, he also accommodated those with a smile on the face. I will recommend Joe at any give day and time. Thanks, Joe.

"Trinh Brothers remodeled my entire basement, kitchen bathroom, installed flooring in every room of my home, built a roof for my patio, installed new doors, painted every room, etc. etc. They were amazing. So talented and the nicest people I've ever done business with. They worked almost 10 hour days for two months and went above and beyond for me. Highly recommend them."

"Couldn’t recommend highly enough! Rick and his team did an excellent job completing several projects in our home including building a gym in the previously unfinished section of our basement, transforming a den into a bar room for entertaining, and coming up with a creative and perfect solution to put an office in our basement. Rick is a great, trustworthy guy and does beautiful work! "

"New Leaf Construction, LLC, did an amazing job adding a family room to our unfinished basement. Josh and Shannon were respectful and friendly, punctual and timely, and (best of all) were within budget! The room was previously a DIY nightmare (previous homeowner), constructed of pallets and recycled construction materials. Josh and Shannon transformed the space into the most endearing part of the house. The recommendations of the floor type (tile, in the event of moisture), the color offsets (two-tones to make the room "pop"), the lighting (dimmable drop lights), and I can't forget the coup de grâce, the wrap-around, circular bar with the glass-block entrance. I had an excellent experience and recommend New Leaf Construction, LLC, to everyone!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Elkins Park, 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.
