Home / Interior Remodeling / Basement Finishing
Full basement finishing, basement remodels, bathrooms, egress windows and moisture control. Veteran-owned, one crew, based in Mt. Holly.
Basement finishing is one of the fastest ways to add real living space to a Burlington County home, and one of the easiest jobs to do badly. Mission Accomplished Construction is a veteran-owned crew based in Mt. Holly, turning unfinished basements into family rooms, bedrooms, offices, and full apartments across Burlington County, from older block-foundation homes in Moorestown and Mt. Holly to newer poured-foundation homes in Mount Laurel, Medford, and Marlton. Moisture control, framing, insulation, electrical, plumbing, drywall, and flooring, all handled by our own crew from the first measurement to the final walkthrough. Licensed NJ HIC #13VH14010400.

A basement lives or dies on what happens before the drywall goes up. Moisture, insulation, egress, and mechanical access have to be right first. We handle every piece under one crew so the finished space stays dry, warm, and to code for decades.
Unfinished to finished. Moisture check, framing, insulation, electrical, drywall, ceiling, flooring, lighting, and trim, all by one crew.
Already finished but dated, damp, or badly laid out. We open it up, fix what was done wrong the first time, and rebuild it to how you actually use it.
Full or half baths, wet bars, and kitchenettes below grade. We handle the plumbing rough-in, ejector pump where needed, venting, and waterproofing.
A legal basement bedroom needs an egress window. We excavate, set the well, install the window, and tie in drainage so the room passes inspection.
Interior drainage, sump systems, vapor barriers, and wall sealing before any framing goes in. A finished basement over a wet foundation is a demo job waiting to happen.
Dedicated offices, home gyms with rubber flooring, media rooms, and full in-law suites with a bath and kitchenette.
A basement is the easiest room in the house to ruin. Frame over a damp wall, skip the vapor barrier, or finish a bedroom without egress, and you get mold, a failed inspection, or both. We run yours differently.
Mac spent ten years in the Air Force before he ran crews. Show up when you said, do what you said, finish what you started.
The people who frame your basement are the people who hang the drywall and lay the floor. Nothing gets handed to the lowest bidder halfway through.
We test and fix water issues before a single stud goes up. Vapor barrier, drainage, and sealing are standard, not an upgrade.

We measure the space, check the foundation for moisture, confirm ceiling height, egress, and access to your mechanicals, and talk budget before anyone quotes a number.
We lay out the rooms, plan the bath or wet bar if you want one, and walk flooring, lighting, and finishes with you. Then you get an itemized written scope with a real number.
Water gets handled before a single stud goes up. Then framing, insulation, electrical and plumbing rough-in, drywall, flooring, and finish work by our own crew, with township permits and inspections handled.
We walk the finished basement with you in person. We do not call it done until every outlet, seam, and inspection sign-off is right.
It comes down to square footage, whether you add a bathroom, whether you need egress, and what the moisture situation looks like before we start.

In older homes in Mt. Holly, Moorestown, Bordentown, and Burlington City, we are usually dealing with block foundations, low ceilings, and some moisture history, so drainage and sealing come first. In newer developments in Mount Laurel, Medford, Marlton, and Cinnaminson, the builder left a poured foundation and a blank slate, and the job is layout, egress, and finishes. Either way, moisture gets handled before framing, egress gets built where a bedroom is planned, and permits get pulled with your township.
A basic basement finish in Burlington County typically runs $30,000 to $50,000 for framing, insulation, electrical, drywall, ceiling, flooring, and lighting. Adding a full or half bathroom brings it to $45,000 to $75,000. Full remodels with a wet bar, egress bedroom, and built-ins run $60,000 to $100,000 or more. Egress windows are $4,000 to $9,000 each. Mission Accomplished Construction provides a line-item written estimate before any work begins.
Most basement finishes in Burlington County take four to seven weeks from the first day of framing to final inspection. Adding a bathroom or egress window adds one to two weeks. Full remodels with a wet bar, bedroom, and bath can run eight to ten weeks. Township inspection scheduling is the biggest variable, so we book inspections the day each rough-in is done.

Yes. Finishing a basement in New Jersey requires a building permit, plus electrical and plumbing permits for that work, and a legal bedroom requires an egress window that meets code. Unpermitted basement finishes are a common problem at resale and can void insurance claims. Mission Accomplished Construction pulls every permit with your township and coordinates the inspections.
Yes. A basement bathroom needs a drain below the main sewer line, which usually means an ejector pump, plus proper venting and waterproofing. We handle the plumbing rough-in, pump, venting, tile, and fixtures as part of the finish. A basement bathroom typically adds $12,000 to $25,000 to a basic finish depending on size and fixtures.
Yes, and we will not finish a basement over an unresolved water problem. Before framing we assess the foundation for moisture, install interior drainage or a sump system if needed, seal walls, and put down a vapor barrier. A finished basement over a wet foundation is a demolition job waiting to happen, so this is standard on every project, not an add-on.
Yes. New Jersey code requires a basement bedroom to have an emergency escape and rescue opening, which in practice means an egress window with a well and a clear opening large enough to exit through. Without it the room cannot be permitted or listed as a bedroom. We excavate, set the well, install the window, and tie in drainage so it passes inspection.
