At 570 Remodeling, we help you turn the most underused space in your home into one of the most valuable. Plymouth’s older coal-era homes are full of basements that are unfinished, damp, or patched together over the decades. Done right, that space can become a fully functional room — but it has to start with moisture control, not just drywall.

We handle every aspect of basement finishing and remodeling, from waterproofing to the finished ceiling. Here’s what that includes:
We plan the basement layout based on how you want to use it — home office, extra bedroom, family room, home gym. We work around existing mechanicals and columns, frame the space properly, and make sure egress and code requirements are met for Luzerne County.
This is where we start — always. Plymouth’s older homes deal with foundation seepage, hydrostatic pressure, and the kind of moisture that ruins finished basements fast. We apply foundation sealants, install drainage solutions where needed, and use vapor barriers before any framing or insulation goes up. Skip this step and the rest of the job is wasted money.
Bedrooms in a basement require egress windows by code. We cut the opening, install a code-compliant egress window unit, and properly waterproof the installation so you don’t trade one moisture problem for another. Required for any sleeping area and a smart upgrade regardless.
For basement flooring, we recommend materials rated for below-grade installations — luxury vinyl plank, ceramic tile, or engineered hardwood with proper vapor protection. Lighting gets planned into the ceiling layout so it’s functional and bright, not an afterthought.
We use closed-cell spray foam or rigid foam insulation on basement walls before framing — it handles moisture better than standard fiberglass batts in below-grade applications. Framing is done with pressure-treated lumber at the base where contact with concrete is possible.
If you’re building a home theater, music room, or just want to separate the basement noise from the rest of the house, we install acoustic insulation between floors and in partition walls. A simple addition during the build that’s much harder to add after the fact.
Finishing a basement in Plymouth is not the same as doing it in a newer home. These older coal-era homes have their own set of challenges, and here’s why we handle them better than most:
Luzerne County has specific permit requirements for finished basement spaces, egress windows, and bedroom classifications. We know Plymouth Borough code requirements and pull the right permits — so your finished basement is legal and insurable.
NEPA’s wet springs and ground saturation are a real concern for basements in this region. We don’t finish over a moisture problem — we solve it first. That’s the only way a basement renovation lasts.
We price basement projects honestly. You’ll get a detailed estimate that shows what waterproofing, framing, insulation, and finishing each cost separately — no bundled number you have to take on faith.
A properly finished basement adds real square footage and resale value to your Plymouth home. Done correctly with permits and proper moisture control, it’s one of the highest-return renovations you can make.

We apply the same transparent, straightforward process to every Plymouth basement project, whether we’re waterproofing only or doing a full finish:
