At 570 Remodeling, we help you turn the most underused space in your home into one of the most valuable.
Basements along the Route 315 corridor are often unfinished, damp in one corner, or patchworked from previous DIY work that never quite got finished. We assess what you’re working with and build out something that functions as real living space.

A finished basement adds usable square footage without changing your home’s footprint or roofline. Here’s what we take on:
Before any framing starts, we plan the layout — where egress needs to be, how to work around mechanicals, what the ceiling height actually allows, and how the space will function. Getting this right at the start saves money and rework later. We plan for the finished use: family room, bedroom, home office, gym, or a combination.
Moisture is the first thing we address on every basement project — because it’s the reason finished basements fail. NEPA’s freeze-thaw cycles and wet springs push water through foundation walls in ways surface paint and cheap drain systems never solve. We use foundation sealing, perimeter drainage solutions, and properly installed vapor barriers to address the source, not mask it.
Code requires a minimum-size egress opening for any basement bedroom — specific dimensions, minimum opening, specific sill height above the floor. We handle the excavation, cutting, window installation, and well installation to meet Luzerne County permit requirements. An egress window also brings daylight into the space, which changes the feel significantly.
Basement flooring has to handle moisture better than what goes upstairs. Luxury vinyl plank, engineered hardwood over a moisture barrier, and porcelain tile are all options we install depending on slab conditions and intended use. Recessed lighting on dimmers, egress lighting, and under-stair storage lighting all get planned into the layout from the start.
Framing a basement correctly means leaving a gap between the stud wall and foundation on exterior walls — moisture needs to escape without rotting the framing. We use closed-cell spray foam or rigid foam board on foundation walls before framing, which makes a real difference in how warm and quiet the finished space feels through a northeastern Pennsylvania winter.
If the basement is going to be a home theater, music room, or a bedroom below a busy living area, sound control is worth planning in during construction. Acoustic insulation between floor joists, resilient channel on ceiling assemblies, and mass-loaded vinyl where it makes sense — all significantly harder to address after drywall is up.
When Laflin homeowners choose us for a basement renovation, it usually comes down to these four things:
Basement finishing in the borough requires permits — egress windows, electrical, and framing all get inspected through Luzerne County. We know the local code requirements, pull the right permits, and schedule inspections correctly so the job closes without issues.
NEPA’s climate makes moisture the top concern in any basement project. We identify where water is entering before we frame anything — and we fix it at the source. A finished basement that floods in the first wet spring isn’t a renovation; it’s a loss.
Basement renovations have a strong return on investment when done correctly. We give you a clear scope and honest pricing — without the inflated numbers you’d see from an operation carrying more overhead.
A properly finished and permitted basement adds real square footage to your home’s appraised value. In a growing residential community like this one, that matters — especially if resale is part of the long-term picture.

We apply the same transparent, straightforward process to every Laflin basement — from a damp, unfinished shell to a fully livable space:
