"It was wonderful. They did a super job, didn't leave any debris behind, and cleaned up everything. I couldn't have asked for a better service. I called them a year later to let them know how much I liked it. After 35 years of a wet basement, there hasn't been a drop of water within the last year. The gentlemen were very courteous. You didn't even know they were here after they were done."

"H - H Construction was very professional and respectful to the tenant. Every day work was completed all trash was cleaned up before they left for the day. Also communication of the progress was very good. I would recommend H - H Construction to my family and friends for any houshold repairs or remodel."

"Having bad experiences working with other contractors in the past, I was nervous to hire someone else to perform a much needed remodel to my 15 year old bathroom. Thankfully, I’ve come across Kish and she was able to exceed my expectations. She was very thorough throughout the entire process from start to finish and was extremely on point focusing on the details of the finishings I wanted. I received so many compliments from friends and family! I’m looking forward to hiring her to perform my kitchen remodeling next!"

"Lehigh Valley Roofers explained the roof replacement process, helped us pick the proper materials, and coordinated with our insurance adjuster. They were competitive and completed the job in the exact timeframe they quoted. They also cleaned up very well after the job was completed. I'd highly recommend Steve and Lehigh Valley Roofers to anyone considering a new roof or roofing repair."

"Jim is very professional. We wanted the carpet removed from our living room and replaced with laminate flooring. He explained everything in detail, and called with an installation date and time. Jim and his installer Jonathan were prompt on the day of install. Jonathan is also very professional and a stickler to detail and perfection. The carpet removal, floor prep, sub floor install and laminate install took 6 hours start to finish! We are Very Pleased with the results! Last year we had a total kitchen remodel and wish we would have searched harder and found G Contracting! I would recommend them for any of your needs! They are #1 on our list for any future projects!!!! Thank You Jim & Jonathan!!!"

"Brian's guys were great. I needed the length of the garage drywalled after a flood in the garage forced me to remove all the wet drywall. He put in mold/water resistant green drywall in less than a day. He was working several large jobs and I expected that he would make me wait, but he didn't. He fit me in almost right away, did the work on a Saturday so I wouldn't have to miss work, and did a great job. He made me feel like my project was just as important as any huge job. I would hire him again for any other renovation at the house. Thanks Brian and Steve."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Palmerton, 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.
