At 570 Remodeling, we help you turn the most underused space in your home into one of the most valuable. Plains Township basements — whether in older homes off Route 309 or newer builds — are often unfinished, damp, or finished in patchwork fashion decades ago. We assess what’s there, deal with moisture first, and build from there.

From moisture control to final trim, here’s what we handle for Plains Township basement remodeling:
We design the finished basement layout around how you plan to use the space — home office, recreation room, second living area, home gym, or a combination. Plains Township homes have a range of basement configurations, from older utility spaces with lower ceilings to larger open pours in newer builds. We work with what you have and design something functional, not just finished.
Moisture is the first thing we address in any Plains Township basement — before framing, before insulation, before anything else goes in. We apply foundation sealing at the interior walls, install drainage channels and sump systems where needed, and use vapor barriers under any slab-level framing. A finished basement that holds moisture is just an expensive mold problem waiting to develop.
Adding a legal bedroom or habitable room in a Plains Township basement requires a proper egress window meeting Pennsylvania code minimums for opening size, sill height, and well dimensions. We handle the excavation, window cut, well installation, and code-compliant framing — so the room counts as a legal bedroom when you need it to.
Luxury vinyl plank is the practical choice for most basement floors — it handles residual moisture, installs cleanly over concrete, and holds up to the temperature swings NEPA basements see between seasons. For lighting, we frame in recessed cans on a circuit properly sized for the space and any ceiling height constraints.
Exterior basement walls in Plains Township homes lose significant heat in winter if they’re not insulated properly. We use closed-cell spray foam or rigid foam board against the foundation wall before framing out — both for energy efficiency and for moisture management. Properly done, a finished basement in this climate is significantly warmer than what most people expect.
If the basement is going to be a media room, home gym, or occupied bedroom beneath a living area, sound transmission between floors is a real issue. We install resilient channel, sound-dampening insulation batts, and decoupled ceiling assemblies that reduce impact and airborne noise transfer — without dropping the ceiling height more than a few inches.
There are plenty of contractors who will frame and drywall a basement. Here’s why Plains Township homeowners call 570 Remodeling specifically:
We know the permit requirements for Luzerne County and Plains Township specifically — egress, electrical, HVAC alterations, and structural modifications. We pull the right permits, schedule the inspections, and make sure your finished basement is compliant with current residential code.
NEPA winters and wet springs put real pressure on basement walls. Our moisture work goes beyond painting on a waterproof coating — we address drainage, foundation sealing, and vapor management so the finished space holds up through the full freeze-thaw cycle, year after year.
We price Plains Township basement projects honestly — materials and labor, itemized. No bundle pricing that makes it hard to know what you’re paying for. Local crew, no franchise fees passed along in the estimate.
A properly finished basement adds usable square footage to your Plains Township home’s listing. Done right — with proper egress, electrical, and permits — it’s recorded as finished living space, which affects your appraised value in a way a rough-finished basement doesn’t.

We apply the same transparent, straightforward process to every Plains Township basement remodel, from the first visit to the final inspection:
