"Excellent. The price was excellent and he made sure to take care of all the minor issues that came up during the process even if that meant trips later as replacement parts were shipped."

"Karlin Lehman's knowledge and explanation of work to be performed is what made me choose them out of 3 estimates. All the little things he showed me that him and his crew were doing showed the pride and craftsman in his work. Already planning to hire him for next project."

"It went wonderfully, altho there were difficulties. My house was built in 1849, the old floor is uneven, and their equipment kept blowing fuses and they had to bring in a generator. Part of the job required tearing up the old ceramic tile floor. The end result, however, was a perfectly laid, beautiful floor with every detail perfect. They did things "above and beyond the call of duty", such as washing the side of the refrigerator before moving it back into its place. I would highly recommend them."

"We had water in our crawlspace after heavy rain. We hired Adam Basement to remedy the problem after consulting with three companies. We hired Adam Basement because of their excellent reputation in our neighborhood and because Bob of Adam Basement is a superb communicator, who explained the problem and proposed solution to us in a logical and easy-to-understand manner. Adam Basement installed a pressure relief sub-floor drainage system with a drainpipe and two sump pumps. They treated the crawlspace for mold and mildew and wrapped the floor and walls with a vapor barrier. Adam Basement’s technicians were hard-working, technically proficient, and professional, and their office staff were responsive and helpful. We’ve had the system for six months and are very pleased. The crawlspace has remained bone dry after heavy rain, and it looks and smells great. Adam Basement stands behind its work, as it provides a 10-year sump pump warranty and a lifetime, transferable waterproofing system warranty. We wholeheartedly recommend Adam Basement for basement repairs or waterproofing."

"Murphy Family Electric is an awesome company with very competent technicians and reasonable rates. They make the whole process pretty straightforward. I had used them to get my Tesla charger in 2018 (Cost: $799 including material). I was so impressed with their work that when I had a complex electrical job - installing a new 120v outlet requiring a new wire from the circuit breaker - I did not get any quotes but just booked them. That job was done very professionally as well (Cost: $949). Fast forward to Mar 2025, my tesla charger had problems with over heating and intermittent power loss. I called Murphy Family Electric and they sent a technician the same day who came and adjusted/cleaned the connections and spent 30 mins fixing the problem. And to my surprise the company did not even charge me anything for this. So on top of everything else you can add absolutely fantastic customer service to their list of attributes."

"Our family room is built on a concrete slab foundation. We've had water issues forever. We've had others try to figure out why & make suggestions. We hired a company previously that said they could fix it, helped some but still had some wetness after rains. We made a good decision to have David from Basement Waterproofing Solutions come take a look. He studied, he measured & he figured it out. We still check for wetness after a hard rain, we've done it for 20 years. The room has stayed dry for over a year & we are very thankful to David and his team!"

"The work about is not what they did but siding is not included in the list. Seems they have blocked access to google reviews and now I know why. They did siding, soffits, flashing and caulking. They came back twice to fix their work, but the flashing and caulking are still incomplete. Workers urinated outside on site in front of my tenants. His worker lied straight to my face several times about the leaking flashing. Now I will pay another company to fix their work. Its not right! They have been promising for months to fix the work but no action. Rob Jr. is definitely NOT his Dad."

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.
