"We consulted with Robert Horne Contracting to remodel a very dated bathroom for us. From the start, they were very communicative from when he'd have the estimate (we ended up getting that earlier than anticipated) to picking out fixtures to start date. As with any old house, there were some challenges with hidden things which added to the tasks needing to be performed. He told us about those as they came up and gave us the very reasonable estimates, if the issue required extra work. He was able to remove the build-out above the sink and rework the plumbing to vastly open up that space giving the appearance of a bigger, roomier room. We did a walk-through and got written confirmation of our punch list items. He gave us a date of when he'd be out to complete the odds and ends and was there promptly on the given day. We are very satisfied with the work he performed and especially with the communication. We never once wondered when he'd be there or what was going on with products being delivered, etc. We are very happy customers!"

"When considering firms to finish our basement, we met with and obtained quotes from 5 building contractors.  What struck my <br /> wife and I about Jason Jumper (Blue Mountain Building and Remodeling Inc) was his vision for the project.  My children, 5 & 7 were running around during the meeting, and he seemed to feed off of them.  I mentioned the basement?s primary use was to serve as a play room for the kids, with an entertainment area for family movies etc.  He took the time to listen to our ideas and he was able to make suggestions based on his experience.  Watching the kids playing around, he suggested creating a ?fort area? including a small kid-sized door to access the area under the stairs.   <br /> The other firms we met with either came to our home with their own ideas on how they wanted us to do the project, or did not seem trustworthy, or the cost was through the roof. <br /> After selecting Blue Mountain Building and Remodeling Inc., Jason Jumper was able to provide an accurate timeframe for the project.  The speed and productivity of his team was impressive, but the quality of the work was PHENOMENAL.  We simply cannot say enough about the quality of the work and the attention to detail.  There were several very minor things we <br /> noticed that were not perfect, but we figured it was not a big deal.  However, THEY made sure to point those (very minor) things out to us, and discussed what they were going to do when redoing the work.  These were small things that most contractors would not address.  For example, there were small areas where the paint wasn?t perfect because the paint was drying too fast.  Instead of touching up just those areas, they applied an entire new coat of paint throughout the entire basement, so everything was uniform.  There were even a few minor changes or additions that my wife and I wanted to incorporate that were not initially a part of the plan.  They addressed those items with no issues, and the end result was perfect. <br /> This project literally went off without ANY issues.  The team working at the house was knowledgeable, professional, and courteous.  The quality of the work completely exceeded our expectations.  And the price was definitely on the lower end of the quotes we received.  We cannot say enough great things about our basement and the work Jason?s team did.  I will gladly serve as a reference for Blue Mountain Building and Remodeling Inc moving forward and will certainly use them for any future home improvement projects. <br />"

"James possesses a knack for design as well as keen attention to detail. His pricing is competitive and often below what comparable services offer. I was well-pleased with his work. It turned out beautiful! In addition, he did a backsplash with arabesque style tile, put up a stove hood, installed a shiplap wall and redid framing around windows and doors, plus additional framing."

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.
