"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."

"Bruce built a bench with shelving and built in coat rack for us in our mudroom. He also installed cabinets in our laundry room with a counter top over the washer and dryer. He did such a fantastic job, I hired him again to finish our basement. He is a true professional; very detailed oriented. He went above and beyond to make sure that vision was made into a reality. Once he is done with our basement I plan to ask him to build a custom closet for the master. I would recommend him above anyone else in the business."

"My experience working with Basement Gurus, especially Phil Thistle, was fantastic. Phil and the crew were very thoughtful and responsive from the moment I called basement gurus until the moment my installation in my basement was complete. I greatly appreciated how dedicated Phil was in answering my questions and checking in with me regularly about my concerns and how the job was going throughout the entire process. Would definitely recommend basement gurus for your waterproofing needs!"

"I can't thank Mark enough for being a voice of reason who stepped in to help us deal with a tricky situation.
He is a straight forward, smart guy who cares about his clients. And that's not to say he doesn't care about the bottom line, too. He got us the best rate out of the three lenders we spoke with, and he made sure we understood exactly what we our options were.
He is extremely responsive and quick -  and you cannot underestimate the degree to which hustle can matter in housing transactions. He's an all-around gem, so glad we found him.

"Jobs went very well, even through the Covid lock down. Milton was very attentive to schedules, was a great listener from design through all phases, and his crew was professional and friendly. We are pleased with the remodeled master bath, and finished basement adding a full bath and kitchenette. I highly recommend!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Shippensburg, 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.
