"This was an amazing experience, we had never done a renovation like this before and it was due to a pipe exploding in our basement. Not only did Perry and his team do an incredible job, they were unbelievably patient and understanding as we dealt with the insurance company and all the hassles they create. Their experience, craftsmanship, and tremendous customer service made this a wonderful experience and our new basement looks incredible! Thank you all again! We will definitely be using these guys for any future renovations/contracting work."

"Liberty Construction has worked with us on three major projects. The quality of their work is excellent, Mark and Craig have great communication skills, and prices are reasonable. The same highly skilled crew has worked at our house for all projects. They are polite and clean up daily. While Liberty Construction has completed three bathroom remodels for us, the pictures below are before/after photos of our latest project, a kitchen remodel. This project involved a complete demolition and moving walls and doorways. The results are beautiful! Thank you, Liberty Construction - we love our new kitchen!"

"We hired Michael Ward to finish our basement including a full bathroom with a walk in shower and closets. Michael was a pleasure to work with. He is a professional, knowledgeable and experienced contractor who takes pride in his work. His prices are very competitive and he completed the entire job at a timely manner. We are very satisfied with the end result. The finished basement looks flawless and the new bathroom is beautiful. I highly recommend Michael and will hire him if I have any other projects in the future."

"Jason and Miller Home Group, so many great things to say about them. If we could give more than five stars in this review we would, and we mean it. We were first-time major-home-renovation homeowners when beginning the search for a company/contractor to renovate our basement, and after the first round of receiving quotes from several other places, we almost gave up. We decided to look again and received a few more quotes, and what set Miller Home Group (MHG) apart from all others was Jason’s vision and ability see a layout that we could not see ourselves. I think this is the most important thing other potential clients of MHG need to hear...all of the other companies listen to our ideas and gave us a pricing… that’s it…no new ideas, no excitement. Jason’s vision, alone, is a value no other company is offering. "

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Kennett Square, 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.
