At 570 Remodeling, we help you turn the most underused space in your home into one of the most valuable. Basements in Shickshinny homes tend to be unfinished, damp, or patched together over the years — and living near the Susquehanna River means moisture is a real variable that has to be handled before any finish work begins.

We handle every stage of a basement project, from waterproofing through framing, flooring, and finish work. Here’s what’s included:
We work with the space you have — ceiling heights, support columns, utility areas, and egress requirements — and design a layout that actually functions. Whether it’s a family room, home office, guest suite, or a combination, we plan around how you intend to use it.
This is where the job starts. Before any framing or insulation goes in, we address the moisture: foundation sealing, interior drainage solutions, sump pump assessment, and vapor barrier installation. Shickshinny’s proximity to the Susquehanna means groundwater is a real factor — and the fix has to come before the finish work, not after.
If the basement will include a bedroom or additional sleeping space, an egress window is required by Pennsylvania code. We cut the opening, install a properly sized window well, and waterproof the surround — so you get the natural light, the safety exit, and the code compliance in one clean installation.
We install engineered hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, tile, or carpet — chosen based on the actual moisture conditions in your basement. Lighting includes recessed cans, stair lighting, and task lighting for any work areas, all on properly circuited switches.
Basement insulation and framing are where energy efficiency gets built in. We use closed-cell spray foam or rigid foam on exterior walls before the stud wall goes up — keeping heat in through NEPA winters and managing condensation before it becomes a problem.
If the basement sits below a busy household, soundproofing is worth the investment. We use resilient channel, acoustic insulation, and mass-loaded vinyl in the ceiling assembly to reduce sound transfer between floors — useful for home theaters, music rooms, and guest suites.
Here’s why Shickshinny homeowners hire us for basement work:
Basement finishing in Shickshinny requires permits and inspections through Luzerne County. We know the local code requirements — egress, electrical, plumbing, fire blocking — and we pull the permits so the project closes out properly.
NEPA’s wet springs, heavy snow melt, and the Susquehanna River corridor make water intrusion a real concern in Shickshinny basements. We address the source before putting a single stud wall up.
We don’t subcontract the work and mark it up. Our crew handles waterproofing, framing, electrical coordination, and finish work directly — and that keeps your price honest.
A properly finished basement adds real livable square footage to your home. Done right, it’s one of the better returns on investment you can make in a Luzerne County property.

We apply the same transparent, straightforward process to every Shickshinny basement project:
