Basement remodeling services in Lancaster

The whole basement, or the one part that is failing

Five groups, from a full finish down to a single sump pit. Start with the one that sounds like your basement, and call if yours is not listed.

Basement work in Lancaster, from the water up

You end up with rooms the family actually uses, dry underfoot and warm enough to sit in all winter.

Lancaster Basement Pros is a basement remodeling contractor working in Lancaster and the county around it, finishing basements here since 2009. The book runs four to six weeks ahead, so a spring start gets booked over the winter.

Most of it is a whole basement taken from bare block to finished rooms, so framing, insulation, floors, ceilings and lighting. Under that sits the wet work, drainage, sump pits and vapor barriers, then egress windows, stairs and permits. Bathrooms, wet bars, below-grade plumbing, apartments, in-law suites and soundproofing follow.

Steel studs stand an inch off the block over a dimple mat, closed-cell foam behind them, so nothing in the framing ever touches masonry that holds water.

Is one damp corner too small a job to ring about? No. We fit single sump pits for homeowners who are not finishing anything, and we take on landlords turning a whole duplex basement into a rentable apartment.

Ask for a free basement visit at (717) 555-0162 and somebody rings you back the same day. You will stop pulling the basement door shut when guests arrive and start taking them down it.

Services

Five ways a basement gets finished properly

  • A basement part way through finishing, with steel stud walls standing on a bare concrete slab, pale insulation on the masonry behind them

    Full Basement Finishing

    Turning a bare basement into finished rooms. Steel framing an inch off the block, closed-cell foam behind it, a dimple mat and plywood floor, and a ceiling that still holds seven feet once the ducts have been dealt with.

  • A dry basement with a bare gray block wall, a clean swept concrete floor, and a white sealed sump lid set into the slab with a discharge pipe rising out of it.

    Waterproofing and Moisture Control

    Finding where water gets into a basement and taking it somewhere else. Interior drainage at the footer, a sealed pit with a cast iron pump, a barrier up the block, and a dehumidifier plumbed to a drain rather than left on a bucket.

  • A finished basement bedroom with a wide egress window set into the wall, the sash swung open

    Egress and Code Compliance

    Egress windows, window wells, basement stairs and the permits that go with them, for Lancaster basements that have to be legal to sleep in rather than merely finished.

  • A finished basement bathroom with a tiled shower, a vanity with a stone top and a lit mirror over it, the door standing open onto the finished basement beyond

    Basement Bathrooms and Bars

    Basement bathrooms, wet bars and the below-grade plumbing under them, for Lancaster basements where the drains sit under the sewer and everything has to be pumped up to it.

  • An open plan basement apartment with a small kitchen along one wall, a sofa, a rug and a lamp, and a door in the far wall leading out

    Apartments and In-Law Suites

    Basement apartments, in-law suites, home theaters and the sound and fire separation between them and the rest of the house, for Lancaster and the townships around it.

Lancaster Basement Pros

We have worked on Lancaster basements since 2009 and we call back the same day.

Lancaster Basement Pros finishes basements in Lancaster, Lititz, Ephrata and the townships around them. Drainage, a sump and a vapor barrier first, then framing, board, floor, ceiling and lighting. Bathrooms, wet bars, egress windows and in-law suites too. Foundation repair and radon work go to the trades licensed for those.

Why call a basement crew and not a general builder?

  • Seventeen years of basements in Lancaster and the county around it
  • A free visit and a written quote before anything is booked
  • Steel studs held off the block, so nothing wicks into the framing
  • The water is dealt with before a single stud goes up
  • We file the permits and we stand with the inspector

Whether the basement is dry and empty or wet and full of boxes, the next move is the same. Call (717) 555-0162 and somebody rings you back the same day to arrange a look at it. You get a scale layout and a written price out of that visit, and no obligation to do anything with either.
