"Frank did a great job! He was careful to protect surfaces so that there was not a lot of dust and dirt. He replaced a drywall section and plastered and painted. I am very happy with the results. I will hire him again! "

"They did a great job. They were very professional and prompt getting back to me about any questions I had. Even though all the rain we had this spring extended the project they took their time to make sure everything was done right. I get compliments all the time on the great job."

"Joe and his crew did a super job putting our house back together after a plumbing leak flood. This involved a lot of floor replacement (wood, ceramic tile and laminate), plumbing, wood trim, dry wall, painting and electrical work. Joe was very responsive to my texts and called if he had any questions or to let me know what was planned. Five Stars!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Pittsburgh, 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.
