108 Greg is truly our plumbing and home repair hero and we would highly recommend Greg’s Renovations for any project. This was our second project with Greg, and it won’t be the last. We had an unexpected leak through our ceiling over the weekend that turned out to be a much bigger repair than...
Greg's RenovationsThe roof was not installed correctly and it leaked. I asked him to fix the problem and he came and put some caulking down but it still leaked. I tried to call him several times after that and left messages but he would not respond. I had to have the roof completely re-done. The new roofer...
Because of the large basement and also a crawl space Twan had to return several times to seal these areas. He was always pleasant and reliable until the job was well done.
Excellent repair.
Well with some initial problems. The problems were solved and the basement--nearly 13 years later has been dry. The original sump pump installed by the contractors, with extremely heavy use (sometimes pumping every 43 SECONDS for MONTHS at a time), lasted 11 years.
The office was quick to respond to my initial request through Angie's list messaging, the appointment was scheduled for a few days out, the repairman showed up on time and thoroughly fixed our leak.
Ace Handyman Services of South Central PAWhat an awesome garage! Rare find these days. I thought I had a rear main seal leak. The Kreitzer team found a leak, but it wasn't a rear main seal and it was a much cheaper fix, like 600 dollars cheaper. This is the only place I will take my cars in PA. Thank you Kreitzer team!
Kreitzer's Automotive ServiceFound and corrected a leak from ice maker. They were the third plumber. They did what others could not do. I would highly recommend them.
My husband called first thing the next morning after we reviewed potential contractors on Angie's List. Our call was returned within 30 minutes and he came to our house that afternoon. Fans and heaters were brought in immediately to dry out the water damaged area which thankfully was not too...

"I can’t say nice enough things about the process of working with Martin. We decided to finish our basement, including a full bathroom, while I was pregnant and wanted the job wrapped up before the baby came, which gave a very hard deadline. Not only was Martin able to work with us contacting him two months out on this project, he was so responsive during the process, gave us great ideas, and kept us well-informed on everything that was happening with the project. From start to finish, we always felt that Martin was knowledgeable about what he was doing and didn’t seem bothered when we had last minute changes. The entire team was so clean, which gave me comfort given that I was pregnant at the time, and they were able to complete everything before the baby came. If I had more basements, I would definitely call Martin!"

The cost to finish a basement is $18,400 for the average homeowner. However, this cost could be as little as $2,800 or as much as $34,500, depending on the basement size and the materials needed. If your basement is already outfitted with electrical and plumbing, expect the cost to fall on the lower end.
For example, the drywall cost for this project averages around $1,750, but other features, like hiring a plumber, cost between $45 and $200 per hour.
The cost to remodel a basement is between $12,100 and $33,400 for the average homeowner. The price you pay can be as little as $3,500 or as much as $50,200, depending on the size and condition of your basement and the type of remodel you're doing.
If you're doing a simple project like adding a home office to your basement, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000. However, if you're adding a bathroom, which is an extensive project, you can expect to pay between $6,600 to $16,500.
Damp proofing and waterproofing are both methods to help keep your basement dry. Damp proofing keeps soil moisture from entering your basement, which is helpful since your basement is underground. Waterproofing, however, keeps both soil moisture and liquid water out of the basement, which is essential, especially if you live in a wet environment. Because it’s more protective, waterproofing typically costs more than damp proofing.
Although homeowners often use the terms basement remodeling and basement finishing interchangeably, they are quite different terms.
Finishing a basement is the process of taking a basement space that is not habitable and adding elements to make it usable. This includes adding plumbing, flooring, and insulation.
Remodeling a basement means taking an already existing finished basement and changing it, often by adding or removing walls, adding plumbing, or changing the existing flooring.
The cost of basement waterproofing is $4,950 for the average homeowner. However, you could end up paying between $600 and $14,000, depending on factors like basement size, waterproofing method, and the region you live in.
If you live in an area with heavy rainfall, you might be paying more for waterproofing than if you lived somewhere drier since waterproofing contractors would be in high demand. Likewise, a 500-foot basement costs between $2,500 and $5,000 to waterproof, but that price rises significantly for a larger basement.
