"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"

"I had windows installed almost 2 years ago from M&S and they did a wonderful job. I had a bit of a problem last week but it was solved by being talked through it on the phone,but they still chose to come and check out the window and make sure it was all right. Wonderful service would recommend them to anyone needing windows."

"Ground up Renovations finished my walk out basement for my mom and step dad to live in. After consulting with 3 other renovating companies, we felt the best about them and they were very fair with price. They were on schedule with everything and it really turned out amazing. If there was ever a question about something he would call and stop by if needed. They are professional yet caring and easy to talk to. We ended up having them back for other projects and estimates and they are now our go-to company. "

"Would highly recommend Jason and Blue Mountain. We recently used him for a master bedroom and bathroom remodel as well as renovations to our screened in porch. Jason was responsive and communicated with us every step of the way. He met the timeline and deadlines that were set for our projects. Jason and his skilled employees were friendly, courteous and a pleasure to have in our home. Their work was meticulous and they cleaned up every day before leaving our home. We are thrilled with our upgrades and have future projects planned with Jason and Blue Mountain Building."

"I’d really like to take this time to thank rough diamond construction and Nate Miller for a wonderful wonderful job that they did for us. They took my bathtub and made a walk in shower, beautiful job and moved my washer and dryer upstairs where it was a lot more convenient for me and my husband to do laundry. I can’t thank them enough. They’re very courteous. They’re great if you ever need any kind of work done, I would highly recommend them to do the job. Thank you again Nate thanks for everything."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Mechanicsburg, 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.
