"We had a great experience with the Lux Renovations and Owens Corning team. The whole process was very easy from designing the space, selecting colors, and having a contract manager who organized the entire basement remodel including all the trades and inspections. We were sold on the Owens Corning materials for the basement and that they were engineered specifically for a basement space. Would highly recommend this team for your basement remodel needs."

"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.
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.
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.
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.
We were very happy with Total Home Solution, and will definitely use them again in the future.

"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"

"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.

"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!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Jenkintown, 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.
