"Martin and his partner Phil were all around fantastic. From day one, Martin listened to what we wanted, asked us great questions, and offered suggestions that made the project even better than expected. His quote for the job was very reasonable, and he stuck to it. Martin kept in constant contact with us and let us know what was happening and when it would happen every step of the way. Martin and Phil's craftsmanship is on display everywhere you look. I will be recommending Hartel Group to anyone I hear is planning a basement remodel."

"We did basement remodel (unfinished prior to with no plumbing) with All-Phase/Joe Stillman. Remodel included a full bathroom (extensive plumbing/concrete work), a large kitchen style wet bar with sink/cabinets/granite countertop/glass doors/mirror, a custom home theater and a large open playroom. Theater included a LOT of custom wiring and installation for multiple components including custom LED accent lights, 9 speakers, various TV/video/stereo components, and large projector, etc. The bar had custom lighting and custom granite countertops. Large full bath installed with closets, shower, vanity, toilet. Used a mixture of LVT and carpet. Also enlarged/opened up the stairway. The entire basement had to be wired as well for lights/outlets/etc. I think we have the most organized and well-labeled electric panel I have ever seen. We had all the interior walls built and drywalled as well as drywalling the ceilings. We installed additional venting to the HVAC system and added a stairway closet. The All Phase crew was fantastic. Those gentlemen were always on time, never late, showed up when they said they would. They were very courteous, considerate, tidy, clean, diligent, competent and conscientious. If there was ever a change to their schedule they always called and let me know. I was very comfortable with them in the house on a daily basis for several weeks. They took extra precautions to try and alleviate the construction dust and protect our existing flooring in our home. Great with my kids and dog. Good guys, every one of them. We are very pleased with the quality and scale of work done. Joe is a straight forward, honest, ethical business owner and I would absolutely recommend him and All Phase. We will be hiring All Phase for our next project in the upcoming year or two!!!"

"The kitchen was completed gutted and rebuilt within 3 weeks. Matt worked with us on every aspect of the remodel and addressed everything we had on our wish list. On all the projects Matt and his people were here every day until the work was completed to our satisfaction. When they left each day the work site was spotless. We have been happy to recommend MNB Renovations to our friends and family and plan on having Matt back when we are ready for our next project(s)."

"We consulted with Robert Horne Contracting to remodel a very dated bathroom for us. From the start, they were very communicative from when he'd have the estimate (we ended up getting that earlier than anticipated) to picking out fixtures to start date. As with any old house, there were some challenges with hidden things which added to the tasks needing to be performed. He told us about those as they came up and gave us the very reasonable estimates, if the issue required extra work. He was able to remove the build-out above the sink and rework the plumbing to vastly open up that space giving the appearance of a bigger, roomier room. We did a walk-through and got written confirmation of our punch list items. He gave us a date of when he'd be out to complete the odds and ends and was there promptly on the given day. We are very satisfied with the work he performed and especially with the communication. We never once wondered when he'd be there or what was going on with products being delivered, etc. We are very happy customers!"

"Jon and his crew were amazing to work with from start to finish! They listened to what I wanted and made my dreams come true. My parents were having a hard time on their own so I finished their basement into a little house for me and my family to be close to them to help and it turned out exactly like I wanted thanks to Jon and his crew. Donâ t hesitate, hire him today! You wonâ t be disappointed."

"I had used them before for a remodeling job and was pleased with their work. That was why I purchased the Big Deal coupon because I had several jobs planned. However, their estimates for the other jobs were too high in comparison to other bidders, so I chose to have them do the smaller ceiling fan job in order to use the coupon.
I have no complaints about the quality and professionalism of their workers. The complaint I do have is their estimates and billing are not itemized with costs. I have no idea whether the Big Deal coupon actually saved me anything.
Two workmen arrived to do the job. One went up in the attic to cut  the installation location in the living room ceiling and install a junction box and bracing. Then the wallboard was cut to install the outlet box for the wall control. From the attic he threaded electrical wire to the wall control box. 
The wiring for the wall control was connected. They then assembled the ceiling fan unit and the mounting rod and installed the ceiling fan. They then cleaned up after their work. The lead technician explained how the controls worked and demonstrated them.
The work was done efficiently and in a professional manner. The workmen were courteous and conscientious. The job took a bit over two hours.

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Lancaster, 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.
