"Frank and his team were great! I appreciated how responsive and flexible they were when renovating our basement. They paid attention to details and were willing to do some small handyman tasks that needed to be completed but that I didn't feel comfortable doing on my own. We have a dog so their team being pet friendly was a nice plus. Would recommend"

"Arnold, Chris & Eric were awesome. Gwynn sold me on Zwolinsky Construction and I found it hard to believe 3 guys could finish a basement remodel in 3 weeks. Price was very reasonable for all the work they did. Arnold is very easy to talk to and give you options. The remodel was 1700 square foot basement and my wife loves everything. I would use them again in a minute. I will miss stopping in to have coffee with them in the morning."

"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 needed both outside repair work and inside renovation, and Tom provided excellent work for all of these tasks. He came promptly to inspect what needed to be done, arranged further assessments by his subcontractors, and then provided detailed proposals for everything. <br /> Our outside wooden fence was broken in one area, and we also needed a new fence gate installed. In addition, a number of wooden boards on an outside deck ramp were warped and needed to be assessed and replaced. Our front door wouldn't close properly, and our back door had a broken screen. Tom's crew was professional, highly skilled, and polite, and all these repairs were done well. <br /> Our interior work included the removal of old wall-to-wall carpeting from two rooms and a hallway, and then sanding and finishing of the underlying hardwood floors. The floor specialists that Tom sent did an excellent job, and our floors now look great. The crew safely moved the furniture out and then back in without breaking anything, and they successfully protected the rest of the house from dust. <br /> We also needed interior painting done on five rooms and a hallway, and here too, the painters that Tom sent handled everything very well, completely protecting our furniture and our brand-new flooring. The walls and ceilings that they painted look wonderful. <br /> We were very happy with Total Home Solution, and will definitely use them again in the future. <br />"

"My wife found Dan through a Home Advisor search. We did a complete full bathroom remodel/reconfiguration. Dan left an immediate overwhelming positive impression the first time he came out. He provided design and reconfigure consultation that we were expecting to use a separate designer and/or architect for. His past work speaks for itself and he has a tremendous amount of experience and examples to pull from to offer suggestions that aligned with our tastes just from speaking through the project with him. Dan is extremely professional and courteous and maintained impeccable cleanliness and constant communication throughout the job. In addition to his promoted services, Dan is skilled in all areas of home improvement and completed some other handyman services throughout the project. I highly recommend him for any project. I plan on contacting him for any future work I need done."

"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!"

"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! "

"My experience with F&M Custom Home Builder was excellent. Denis was great to work with and communication during the project was excellent. The crew Harry, John, and Tim were amazing! The entire team was very experienced, knowledgeable, great atten tion to detail and very clean. They remodeled my tiny 1960s bathroom into a beautiful, functional, updated bathroom and I am so happy with the finished product. Thank you!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Glenside, 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.
