"The fact that I didn't hire this company but still giving them a positive review should tell you something! Martin is a fantastic young man, friendly and does excellent work as I've seen the jobs he's done. My story is we simply couldn't come up with the money. I would recommend this man and his company ten fold for anyone looking for a basement remodel..just look at his reviews. If you read this Martin maybe someday we will be able to hire you. Thanks for your kindness to my wife and I."

"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."

"They were very easy to work with. Jason, the owner, was a really nice guy. He was very easy to talk to, very nice, and very laid back. He did a great job of doing exactly what I wanted with the basement. His crew made sure I was happy when they were done. There were a few things I wanted fixed at the end and they were very accomodating. They were very skilled with their carpentry work and with their paint work. We love our basement!"

"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."

"Have searched around and have called and met with dozens of other contractors with no real feeling of insured quality or pricing. But there was absolutely no doubt once we met and went through our building project with Dougherty Construction that we made the right choice. Communication of every step and event that was taking place was communicated daily by the project manager. Their respect for our privacy was of the upmost, honestly we never knew they were here. If there were any questions or concerns we had they were always addressed promptly. Dougherty Construction quality of work is superior and perfection in everything they did showed in every part of our basement being finished. Seamless finish in drywall, flawless trim, crisp straight lines in painting, EVERYTHING DONE TO CODE, flooring was done to perfection no patterns can be seen as the floor was laid into place. Even after job was done Dougherty Construction team still stay in contact with us.....Great Business All Around."

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.
