Basement Finishing in Greensburg, PA
Basement Finishing in Greensburg, PA, done by a family-owned general contractor based just down the road in Latrobe. A finished basement is the cheapest square footage you will ever add to your house. The walls, the floor, and the ceiling are already there. We just turn it from a place you store boxes into a place you actually use.
01
What We Do in Basements
Full basement finishes including framing, insulation, drywall, electrical, lighting, flooring, painting, trim, and any plumbing you want added.
Specialty rooms including home theaters, home offices, exercise rooms, playrooms, in-law suites, bars, and guest bedrooms.
Egress windows and emergency exits required by code for bedrooms.
Waterproofing and moisture control because finishing a wet basement is a waste of money. We address moisture issues first.
What It Costs
Basement finishing generally runs between $35 and $75 per square foot depending on what you put in it. A simple 800 square foot finish with carpet, recessed lighting, and one bathroom typically lands around $35,000 to $55,000.
Things to Think About Before You Finish
Moisture. Any water issues need to be solved first. We can do that as part of the project.
Headroom. Code requires at least 7 feet of finished ceiling height in most areas. If your basement is shorter, we have to plan around that.
Egress. If you want a bedroom down there, you need a proper exit window. We install those.
Why Greensburg Homeowners Hire Us
We've been the go-to general contractor for Greensburg and the rest of Westmoreland County since 2014. Greensburg is one of our busiest service areas — we are in town nearly every working day. Our crews handle the older residential neighborhoods around the courthouse and Seton Hill, the post-war housing through Hempfield, the newer subdivisions on the south end toward Westmoreland Mall, and a steady stream of commercial work along the Route 30 corridor.
- A huge share of mid-century homes around Hempfield and South Greensburg are due for siding, window, and insulation updates — we package those together so you get a real efficiency gain, not just a face-lift.
- Older Seton Hill and downtown homes often hide knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized plumbing, and original plaster lath. We plan for those during the estimate so the project doesn't blow past budget mid-demo.
- Hilly lots in the older neighborhoods make deck and patio design tricky. We've built enough multi-level decks in this town to know how to make them feel intentional, not pieced together.
