At 570 Remodeling, we help you turn the most underused space in your home into one of the most valuable. In Harveys Lake, a lot of homes have basements that are either unfinished, partially converted years ago with the wrong materials, or showing signs of moisture intrusion that’s been patched but never really addressed — and getting that space right starts with understanding what’s actually going on down there.

A finished basement in Harveys Lake adds living space without adding square footage to the structure. But it has to be done correctly — especially when you’re working with older construction near a lake environment where moisture management is critical. Here’s what we handle:
Custom Design & Layout — We design your Harveys Lake basement around how you actually plan to use it: home office, family room, guest suite, or a combination. We account for ceiling height, support columns, mechanical equipment access, and egress requirements so the finished layout functions as well as it looks.
Waterproofing & Moisture Control — This is where every Harveys Lake basement renovation starts. We assess the foundation walls and slab for active seepage and moisture migration, then address it properly: foundation sealing on the interior, drainage solutions along the perimeter, vapor barriers under the slab and against the walls. Skipping this step and finishing over a damp basement is what causes projects to fail within a few years.
Egress Window Installation — If you want a bedroom or conforming habitable space in your Harveys Lake basement, code requires a properly sized egress window. We handle the excavation, window well installation, and framing — all to Luzerne County code — so the space qualifies as legal living area and your project doesn’t create problems at inspection or resale.
Flooring & Lighting — Basement flooring needs to handle occasional moisture and temperature swings. We install luxury vinyl plank, engineered hardwood, or stained concrete depending on the application and your preferences. For lighting, we plan recessed ceiling fixtures with appropriate placement so the finished space doesn’t feel like a basement with a few bulbs dropped in.
Insulation & Framing — Proper framing keeps stud walls off the foundation to prevent moisture wicking. We use closed-cell spray foam or rigid foam board against the foundation, then frame and insulate the walls to current energy code. In a Harveys Lake home that sees cold NEPA winters, this is what makes the basement comfortable to use year-round.
Soundproofing Solutions — Whether you want a media room that doesn’t disturb the rest of the house or a guest suite with real privacy, we add acoustic insulation in walls and ceilings during framing — before drywall goes up. Adding sound control after the fact is expensive; doing it during construction is straightforward.
Finishing a basement in Harveys Lake involves more variables than a typical above-grade renovation — moisture, code compliance, permit requirements, and mechanical systems all have to be worked around or through. Here’s why Harveys Lake homeowners trust 570 Remodeling with the project:
Luzerne County has specific requirements for basement conversions — egress, ventilation, electrical, ceiling height minimums. We know what’s required and pull the proper permits so the finished space is legal, inspectable, and a genuine asset at resale. We’ve navigated these requirements for homes throughout the Back Mountain and lake area.
Moisture damage in a NEPA basement isn’t rare — it’s expected in homes that have sat through decades of freeze-thaw cycles, wet springs, and humid summers near the lake. We identify and address water intrusion at the source before any framing or finishing goes in, so the investment holds.
A basement renovation in Harveys Lake can be done well without paying for a project manager, design fees, and a showroom markup. We give you accurate scope and honest pricing — materials and labor — so you can make an informed decision without surprises mid-project.
A well-done basement adds real square footage value to a Harveys Lake home. Whether you’re planning to stay long-term or have an eye on eventual resale, a finished, code-compliant, properly moisture-managed basement is a legitimate return on investment in this market.

We apply the same transparent, straightforward process to every Harveys Lake basement renovation — from initial assessment through final inspection:
