"I hired Hartel Construction Group, owned by Martin Hartel, to finish my basement after a previous setup had turned into a complete mess. He ended up redoing major plumbing throughout the house and transformed the space into what honestly feels like a second home. His pricing was fair, and he handled change orders the right way, he brought them up immediately, explained the options, and asked how I wanted to proceed. He never pushed unnecessary upgrades, but he did offer practical suggestions and was always open to new ideas. Martin was consistently polite, punctual, and professional. He stayed focused on my project from start to finish rather than bouncing between multiple job sites. After more than twenty years of working with different general contractors, he is easily the best I have dealt with. The craftsmanship is outstanding. Pictures do not do the work justice. Phil, who works alongside him, is equally skilled, personable, and professional. Both of them kept the job site cl"

"Dean is the real deal. We had a complicated bathroom remodel. A remodel plan that I changed a couple of times along the way. He is super patient and the work was beyond expectations. I will be asking Dean to help with future projects. I highly recommend Dean to assist with your future projects and already have recommended him to close friends. Thanks Dean!!!"

I would highly recommend this company."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Hanover, 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.
