At 570 Remodeling, we help you turn the most underused space in your home into one of the most valuable. Most basements in Pittston are exactly what you’d expect from a coal-era city — unfinished, damp, and patched together over decades of half-measures. With the Susquehanna River running right alongside the city, moisture is a constant threat that has to be dealt with before anything else gets built.
We handle every aspect of basement finishing in Pittston, starting with moisture control and working through to the final touches. Here’s what we do:
Before framing starts, we work out the layout — where the mechanical systems stay, how traffic flows, where lighting goes, and how the space gets divided between living area, storage, and utility. In Pittston’s older homes, ceiling height and structural posts are real variables we design around from the start.
This is where we start every Pittston basement — because no finished basement survives moisture. We seal foundation walls, install interior drainage channels where needed, apply vapor barriers, and address any active water infiltration before a single piece of drywall goes up. The Susquehanna makes this non-negotiable here.
If you’re finishing a bedroom or habitable space in your Pittston basement, an egress window is required by code — and for good reason. We cut the opening, install a properly sized egress window unit with the right well dimensions, and ensure the installation meets Luzerne County requirements.
Basement flooring needs to handle ground-level moisture that above-grade floors never see. We install LVP, ceramic tile, or engineered hardwood on properly prepared subfloors — and pair it with recessed lighting, can lights, and daylight bulbs that make the space feel above-ground rather than underground.
We frame interior walls with pressure-treated bottom plates where they contact concrete, install closed-cell spray foam or rigid insulation on foundation walls, and frame ceiling soffits around mechanicals. In Pittston’s older homes, this work is done carefully around existing HVAC runs and century-old structural considerations.
If you’re finishing a basement for a home office, media room, or kids’ space, soundproofing matters. We install acoustic insulation between floor joists and use resilient channel or mass-loaded vinyl on walls where noise isolation is needed. The result is a space that actually feels separate from the rest of the house.
When you hire 570 Remodeling for your Pittston basement, you get a crew that understands what’s underneath these older homes — and how to build something that lasts in spite of it. Here’s what you can expect:
Basement finishing in Pittston requires permits through Luzerne County, and the requirements around egress, ceiling height, and electrical are specific. We know the code, pull the permits, and get the inspections done right the first time.
NEPA’s wet springs, heavy snowmelt, and the elevated groundwater near the Susquehanna make basement moisture a real and persistent threat. We waterproof before we finish — so the investment you make in your basement actually holds up.
Finishing a basement is one of the highest return-on-investment projects a homeowner can do. We price the work honestly so that ROI actually materializes when it’s time to sell — or just when you start using the space.
A properly finished Pittston basement adds usable square footage, a legal bedroom if egress is included, and significant resale value. Buyers in this market notice finished basements.
We apply the same transparent, straightforward process to every Pittston basement — from moisture assessment to final walkthrough:
Contact 570 Remodeling and let’s take a look at your Pittston basement. We’ll give you an honest assessment of what it needs and a straight estimate for what it takes to finish it properly.
Unfinished basements in Pittston aren’t just wasted space — moisture problems that go unaddressed get worse over time. The sooner we get in there and assess what’s happening, the less damage control there is to do before we can start building.
