"Bob and the crew really did a great job with painting our living room and updating our basement family room. The family room project included painting, new ceiling tiles and updated LED lighting. They paid attention to details and provided excellent suggestions that really made a difference. They are locally based in Aston . We will definitely hire again for future projects."

"I highly recommend MDD Construction. Matt was a pleasure to work with and the craftmanship exceeded my expectations. Matt and his team were professional, hardworking. They cleaned up every day when they were done and at the end of the job the basement was spotless. Matts communication made me comfortable that I knew what was going on every step of the way. I would hire MDD for my next project without any hesitation."

"Paul Kelly did an impressive job of completing renovating our kitchen, powder room, family room, and enclosing a patio to create a laundry room and mudroom in our Wayne home. He is an organized contractor who gets the job done right. After our unfortunate experiences with several sub-par contractors, I didn't think contractors like Paul Kelly still existed. We could not have been more pleased with Paul's outstanding ability to manage all aspects of this complex project, his exceptional workmanship, and his open, clear, and direct communication. He is a contractor who actually picks up his phone or promptly responds to texts or phone calls. We received daily updates at the end of each day to tell us what happened that day, and what was ahead in the next few days and weeks. He completed the job on time and on budget. It's a great feeling to know that if you drive by your house when Paul Kelly is your contractor, you can be assured that you will see trucks at your house. When I would come by at the end of the day, I could not believe how much they accomplished. In addition, his entire crew (Jim in particular) takes care of your house to ensure that the job site is tidy each day and it is was left in immaculate condition at the end of the project. Furthermore, Paul took care of the little annoying details like switching the doors on my washer and dryer without me even asking. But what I am most appreciative of is Paul's integrity and character. He is an honest man who takes pride in his work and he will do it right because that is the kind of man he is. He took care of us like we were his family. You don't get that kind of treatment these days. I look forward to having him return in the future to do other projects in our home."

"The crew at Tedesco Construction were amazing to work with. They did a great job with a high skill level and attention to detail. We are so happy with the outcome of our projects. Apart from the basement remodel we also gutted a bathroom which turned out beautiful. They were also quick to offer good ideas. Besides being great at their job, the crew is very personable and fun. It really helps when you have people in your house for a longer period of time. Overall we highly recommend PG Tedesco Construction!"

"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."

"We needed to have our basement remodeled, requested a quote, and the owner was onsite in a few days, he was extremely flexible with our busy schedule. He provided us with a quote shortly after in a timely fashion. The work was of high quality, and completed in the estimated time. The overall price was reasonable and the project stayed on budget. Wally and all of his workers were always polite, professional, punctual, and extremely responsive. I would recommend this company to any for any of your home improvement needs. We are extremely satisfied, and look forward to working with Manfredia Carpentry in the future. We love our new basement!!!"

"It was a wonderful experience. Matt knew what he was doing. He listened to what we wanted and made sure we got what we wanted. He had suggested we visit a Cabinet maker store in Lancaster and after doing that we found the perfect cabinets for us. His work is excellent. He is very efficient and neat. Even with our changes he was able to maintain and keep the project on schedule. On a personal level he and his helper were very nice. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone and we are having him come back to do other projects."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Media, 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.
