Basement Finishing Cost by NJ Town (2026)
Finishing a basement in South Jersey runs roughly $45 to $95 per square foot. An open rec room with LVP floors, a half bath, and storage runs $45,000 to $75,000; a full finish with a full bathroom, office or guest room, and built-ins runs $80,000 to $110,000; and underpinning to raise ceiling height for code adds $30,000 to $60,000. Moisture control and ceiling height, not finishes, are the hidden variables that move the price by town.

Cherry Hill, Voorhees, and Marlton are mid-range with rec rooms $50,000 to $80,000 and full finishes $85,000 to $115,000. Pitman, Mantua, Mullica Hill, and Glassboro run $45,000 to $72,000 for a rec room and $78,000 to $105,000 for a full finish, with older homes needing more moisture and height work. Washington Township, Sewell, Turnersville, and Woodbury finish cleanly at $45,000 to $70,000 for a rec room and $78,000 to $108,000 for a full finish.
