Edgewood sits in the heart of Harford County where I-95 meets Route 40, giving families easy access to Baltimore and beyond while maintaining that quieter suburban pace that makes this community so appealing. Most homes here were built in the 1970s and 1980s—solid construction with full basements that are often underutilized or stuck in a time warp of wood paneling and drop ceilings. With home values in the $250,000–$320,000 range and families looking to maximize every square foot, finishing that basement makes a lot more sense than moving to a bigger house.
We've been finishing basements across Harford County for over 20 years, and we understand what Edgewood homeowners are working with. The housing stock here—mostly single-family homes and townhomes in neighborhoods like Willoughby Woods, Edgewater, and Woodbridge Center—typically features standard 7'6" to 8' ceiling heights and poured concrete or block foundations. Many of these basements have great bones but need a complete transformation to become functional living space. With Aberdeen Proving Ground just down the road, we also see plenty of military families and defense contractors who need their homes to work harder, whether that means a dedicated home office, a playroom for the kids, or a guest suite for visiting relatives.
We offer three distinct finishing levels to match different budgets and goals. Essential Basement Finishing runs $49–$55 per square foot and delivers everything you need for a functional, code-compliant space—framing, insulation, drywall, electrical, HVAC, and flooring—with the option to add a bathroom or upgrade to LVP flooring. For homeowners who want elevated spaces like a full wet bar, home theater, or spa-like bathroom, Premium Basement Finishing at $85–$110 per square foot includes one or two custom spaces that truly extend your home. And for those envisioning something exceptional, Luxury Basement Finishing at $150–$300+ per square foot creates destination spaces with commercial-grade equipment and custom everything.
What your finished basement becomes depends entirely on how your family lives. We see a lot of Edgewood homeowners prioritizing rec rooms and play areas where kids can spread out, especially with so many young families in the area. The higher-than-average number of remote workers here means home offices are increasingly popular—a dedicated workspace away from household distractions makes all the difference. Others want a proper home gym to skip the drive to the fitness center, or a comfortable guest suite for family visiting from out of town. Whatever you're envisioning, we've built it before, probably right here in Harford County, and we can show you examples in Bel Air and throughout the region.
Essential projects typically wrap up in 6–8 weeks, Premium in 8–10 weeks, and Luxury projects with extensive custom work take 12–20 weeks. We're fully licensed in Maryland and handle all permits and inspections with Harford County so you don't have to navigate that process yourself. Every project—regardless of budget—includes a free architectural floor plan that's yours to keep, a dedicated project manager who serves as your single point of contact, and interior design support from the preconstruction meeting through final walkthrough.
