Why Should You Choose BasementRemodeling.com
As basement finishing & remodeling contractors in Edgewood, we've transformed 1,000+ basements into beautiful living spaces and can complete yours in just 6-9 weeks.
Edgewood is a more established part of Harford County, with many neighborhoods built during periods of steady residential growth rather than rapid turnover. Many Edgewood neighborhoods were built with basements that were intended as future space rather than finished rooms. In homes near Route 40 and older subdivisions closer to the Edgewood Town Center, those lower levels often end up holding seasonal items, workbenches, or overflow storage. Finishing the basement allows homeowners to reclaim that space and make it part of the home’s daily use without changing the exterior footprint. With more than 20 years of experience and operating near our Baltimore City service area, our team understands how to approach Edgewood homes correctly from the start.
Edgewood has a population of roughly 25,000 residents and functions largely as a residential community where many homeowners plan to stay long term. With limited housing inventory and rising prices across Harford County, improving an existing home often makes more sense than relocating. We’ve finished basements in common split-level and Colonial layouts throughout Edgewood, as well as in newer homes with higher ceilings and more flexible floor plans. Nearby, Fallston is the closest neighboring area we also support, where many homes were built during similar development periods and share comparable basement layouts.
Basement finishing projects in Edgewood are subject to local building requirements, inspections, and approvals. To help homeowners understand what to expect before starting, we’ve put together a detailed Harford County permit guide that outlines the process, common requirements, and typical timelines. Most basement projects are completed in 6–9 weeks, from permit approval through final inspection, when planned correctly.
Before the remodel, the basement was unfinished and mid-construction, with exposed framing, insulation, and rough mechanicals visible. Open wall cavities and the framed opening for the future fireplace show the space early in its transformation — defined in size, but lacking comfort, flow, and livability.
After the transformation, the basement became a fully finished, sophisticated living space. Custom wall paneling, warm wood flooring, recessed lighting, and a coffered ceiling create a clean, modern atmosphere, while a sleek fireplace anchors the room as a welcoming place to relax or entertain.
Before the remodel, this basement was already finished — but bland. Neutral finishes, basic lighting, and an open layout made the space usable, yet uninspiring. It lacked character, purpose, and any real reason to spend time there.
After the transformation, the basement became a custom wine cellar and home theater designed for entertaining. Stone accent walls, built-in wine storage, and layered lighting turned a generic space into a refined destination that feels intentional and elevated.

Finishing your basement typically takes 6 to 9 weeks, from initial demolition to the final details. The process starts in weeks 1-2 with framing and rough mechanical work, forming the structure of the new space. In weeks 2-3, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems are installed behind the walls. During weeks 3-5, insulation and drywall go up, turning bare concrete into defined rooms. Flooring and trim are installed in weeks 6-7, when the basement begins to feel like a finished living area. Weeks 7-8 focus on custom features such as bathrooms, wet bars, or home theaters. The final weeks, 8-9, are dedicated to finishing touches and punch-list items to ensure everything is completed to a high standard.
Three Ways to Finish Your Edgewood Basement
Essential Basement Finishing - This option is designed for homeowners who want a smart, cost-conscious way to turn an unfinished or outdated basement into usable living space. The work typically includes framing, insulation, electrical installed to code, HVAC extensions, and finished flooring, all managed by a dedicated project manager. Many Edgewood homeowners also choose to add a bathroom or upgrade materials during this phase, since those improvements are far easier to handle during initial construction. This level works well for converting older basements into comfortable rec rooms, play areas, or home offices.
Premium Basement Finishing - This level is intended for homeowners who want the basement to feel like a true extension of the main living areas. It builds on the essential scope with upgraded finishes and one or more purpose-built spaces, such as a spa-style bathroom, an entertaining area with a wet bar, or a dedicated media room. Premium finishing is a good fit for Edgewood homeowners who spend a lot of time at home and want the basement to support daily living, hosting, or remote work.
Luxury Basement Finishing - This tier focuses on fully custom basement environments designed to stand apart from standard living space. Projects at this level often involve custom cabinetry, integrated lighting and controls, and materials selected for long-term performance and appearance. Common features include high-performance home theaters, climate-controlled wine storage, wellness areas with sauna features, and executive-style offices. While most Edgewood basements fall into the essential or premium range, this option is available for homeowners who want the basement to become a defining feature of the home.
