Basement Remodeling in Delaware and Chester County, PA
Ah, the basement. For many homeowners, it’s that sprawling, cob-web infested medieval dungeon lurking just beneath the surface of an otherwise cozy and habitable home.
If the thought of your basement calls to mind images from a 1920s Bela Lugosi film, or even if you just find yourself casually referring to it as “the cellar,” perhaps it’s time to seriously consider providing this room with a five-star makeover.
Basement remodeling can be one of the most satisfying projects a homeowner can elect to have done by a competent contractor.

Or dedicate it to your own personal use by making it into:
- A Gym

- An Indoor Pool Room
- A Suite of Guest Rooms
- A Sub-Level Garage
Frequently Asked Questions About Basement Remodeling
How long should a basement renovation take?
The length of your basement remodel will depend on a couple of factors. The scope of your basement remodel will directly affect the timeline of your remodel. If there is more space and projects, it will take more time to complete.
A full gut remodel will take longer to complete than only replacing flooring or fixtures. You can expect a timeline for a basement remodel to take somewhere between 2 and 6 months.
How much will my basement remodel cost?
Of course, your specific remodeling costs will depend on the level of remodeling, the features you choose, and the size of your space.

Can I add a bathroom or kitchen in the basement?
Yes. We will happily install plumbing for a full bathroom or kitchenette, depending on code, space, and layout.
How do you finish a basement to feel less like a basement?
Strategic lighting, ceiling height adjustments, quality finishes, and smart design can create a warm, welcoming space. Water-resistant materials like luxury vinyl plank, sealed concrete, or tile are ideal for below-grade conditions.
Do you handle egress windows or walk-out additions?
Yes. We install egress windows or design exterior stairwells and exits to meet safety and code requirements.
