"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."

"I would give Phil a 20 star rating. He gave me a brand new kitchen. Put flooring in my living room. Excellent work. I have some more that needs to be done and Phil's the one. He suggests things. Makes it look really nice. "

"From time I read his reviews of other's I couldn't wait to meet JERRY. After having weekly consultations we were convince we made the right decision without meeting with anyone else. His ideas and suggestions matched our thoughts perfectly. There was no rush on his part for us to make a quick decision. Our original idea was to only have a center island installed and possibly refurbished our 45 year cabinets. But his price quote and latest design in cabinets, plus removing an existing wall that separated the dinning room and kitchen will provide more light and space, plus it will upgrade our home to more of a modern look. To meet a contractor unknown for the first time it was a joy to have chosen DAUGHTRY CONSTRUCTION."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in York, 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.
