"We hired Armagh Carpentry to refinish our kitchen, and the entire process was handled professionally from day one. They took the time to go over the layout, materials, and timeline, and made sure everything was clear before starting. The workmanship was top-notch—cabinet work, finishes, and overall attention to detail were done right. They showed up when they said they would, worked efficiently, and kept the job moving without cutting corners. The work area was kept clean throughout, and any questions we had were addressed right away. The finished kitchen looks great and functions even better. We’re extremely satisfied with the results and will definitely hire Armagh Carpentry again for future projects. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them."

"It took longer than expected to complete the job, due to the walls in my space being bowed. But I am very pleased with the way it turned out. Would recommend them to anyone who needs their bathroom remodeled."

"We found Stan on Angiâ s List for a remodel of our unfinished basement and we were impressed with his knowledge, his ideas, and his commitment to doing quality work. When we first met, we told him that we had a baby on the way and were working with a tight window to hopefully complete the project before the baby was born. We hired him and we knew that we made the correct decision because he was determined to make that deadline (and he did). Stan also worked with us on our budget and helped us cut where we needed to in order to make our dream basement come true. He handled all of the permits and talked with the borough for us so we didnâ t have to deal with that headache which made the process so much quicker and easier. That was very important to us. Lastly, even though our project was smaller in comparison to what he normally does, we didnâ t feel like he cared about our project any less than others. The commitment and care did not go unnoticed. Thank you Stan for making our basement beautiful for our new family. Highly recommend!"

"We were very happy with the beautiful quality work Arnold did on our bathroom remodel. He gave us a reasonable estimate and no extra costs were added during the project. Arnold and his crew were always professional, courteous and prompt. They protected our floors and furniture and left the area clean and safe for us daily. Work was completed quickly and efficiently. Arnold was pleasant to work with and communicated well. I would highly recommend him to anyone. "

"I had my 1960s paneled and drop ceiling basement room remodeled. I cannot tell you how pleased I am at the upgrade. Along the way Gary answered many emails and calls in a timely manner, usually within the hour. He gave me updates of when certain parts of the project would be worked on and made suggests on things that I hadn’t thought about ( like replacing the drafty original windows while construction was happening). He picked out doors and ceiling fans that were perfect since I am not good at decorating. Because GJP has all their own contractors there was no wait time between the remodeling of the walls and the electrical work that needed to be done. All the workers were do polite and diligent and cleaned up the area. I cannot put into words how wonderful the whole process has been and have already given references to friends. "

"I had a great experience working with Sean Hopper. He was extremely professional, on time, and very reliable throughout the entire process. Communication was clear and easy, and he showed up exactly when he said he would. The quality of his work was excellent — everything was done carefully, cleanly, and with great attention to detail. He left the space neat and organized, which I really appreciated. It’s rare to find someone who is both skilled and dependable, and Sean absolutely fits that description. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for high-quality, trustworthy work and I would gladly hire him again."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Lower-merion, 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.
