"<p>  We are in the Northern Virginia area and this business is based out of the Roanoke area. This was not a concern as the Northern Virginia area is serviced by Seal-Tite. . Mark, the estimator arrived on time and explained how we did not need a system proposed by another company which cost much more than what Seal-Tite offered. Mark explained the process and left us with a price to discuss. I felt like Mark listened to what type of repair I was requesting and did not try to add services that we did not need or weren't interested in.  After having two other companies visit we asked Mark to come back and give us an estimate if the cracks were repaired from the outside. Originally we had discussed repairing them from the inside since the dry wall had already been removed and the cracks were assessable from the inside. Mark readily agreed to return and a second estimate was given. I felt like repairing them from the outside was what we wanted since the water comes in from the outside. </p> <p>   Seal-Tite called to schedule our appointment and called Miss Utility since digging was taking place on the outside of our home at the location of each crack. Three workers arrived on time and started hand digging the sites down to the footers as outlined on the contract. Cracks in our concrete foundation were sealed with hydraulic cement and covered with a swell-tite membrane. This was covered with another material and the dirt was returned. The men worked quickly and allowed me to ask questions as they worked. One crack was repaired on the inside basement wall due to wiring outside the crack. This was discussed when Mark was giving an estimate and there was no confusion with the warranty difference or process.  Items inside the basement were covered with plastic to contain any dust as the crack was sanded and plastic was placed on the floor to catch the mud from the rainy day. </p> <p>    Seal -Tite provided the exact service that I was looking for when searching for waterproofing services. I did not want a drain added or a total foundation waterproofing project .I will certainly call on them again if the need arises. </p> <p>   Thank you, Mark, Mike, C.J.,Derek and Stacy for making this repair an easy process!</p> D <br />"

"Work was performed efficiently and every effort made to limit dust from drilling into concrete flooring from entering second floor. System installed is working effectively and, despite heavy rainfall, we have a dry basement. We weren't sure if the system would resolve a different issue of water coming under the exterior doors (we agreed to wait and see before doing extra work) but we have had no more flooding there either. Extremely pleased with Aqueduct; they were much cheaper than the competition and offered a solution that worked with our existing system which other companies did not. Highly recommend!"

"Went great as usual.  Steve and Joey are my primary contacts for any type of remodeling work I need done.  In this case, they made some improvements to my detached garage.  The overall plan was changed several times prior to commencement of work, but that did not appear to cause them any difficulty.  Work was performed accordingly, and in their typical detail-oriented manner.  <br /> One unforeseen issue occurred with regard to installing the new soffit, but Steve was able to quickly provide a reasonable solution with very little additional cost."

"Our real estate agent recommended Prestige - we were negotiating with the builder, and at one point the builder hinted they might be willing to build a deck instead of reducing price, so we asked Prestige for an estimate. They sent someone out, returned with an estimate. Builder backed away from that... but it still didn't mean we didn't need a deck. We also needed to have a fenced in area attached to the house so we could let our dogs out to do their thing. When we called to talk more about the deck, and to ask for an estimate on the fence, they were a little edgy about doing the whole design discussion remotely, but I was in NJ, couldn't get down to VA until we closed on the house, and needed that fence in as soon as possible after closing so we could move our dogs down. So, we did a couple of scheduled calls, where we swapped photos of the property and back of the house, and designs, and they decided they were OK working remotely, particularly since the fencing wasn't terribly fancy or a huge area, and the deck we wanted was simple. We scheduled the fence work to begin day after closing, and the deck to begin later in the month. As we approached closing, we decided we'd like to find a way to not completely cover the walk out basement sliding glass door, nor a large window. Another call, where Prestige suggested just rotating the deck so that the long edge went away from the house, which kept the window and sliding glass door open. Really minor changes to costs as the stairs were now a bit more complex. We asked them about extending the fenced yard area, and the designer came back with photos of why that would be hugely difficult - the fenced area was already pushing the limits of fencing on an incline. Nice. Good explanation - not just "no" but here's what is likely to go wrong, and here's what you're likely to be unhappy about. Really, you pay companies like this not just for their labor, but for their knowledge. They gave good advice. As usual, something glitched on closing so it had to slide one day, and Prestige was fine with that. They showed up really early the day after the ACTUAL closing and after introducing me to everyone on the crew, jumped straight into work. Shortly after they started, they discovered that the propane tank had been moved slightly since they'd done pictures, and was now in the way of where the design was going to go. That also meant that the planned location of the gate would be on a steep incline, not an ideal thing. We talked a bit about how to change the design to have the same linear feet, adjusting a bit on the other end of the house and moving the gate. The crew talked with the office, and we were once again in action. The change did require them to do a little fabrication on a gate post since it was now opening a different direction, but that went smoothly. That fence was not an easy task- the yard slopes STEEPLY downhill, but they managed to get the fence inches from the ground everywhere anyway, in one case they did a little creative landscaping work, digging here to put the dirt there, where there was no way to make the fence work otherwise. In other words - they delivered on the PURPOSE of the fence, to keep the dogs in, and not just on the design of X feet by X feet. They were able to start the deck earlier than expected. Again, they arrived to start very early, and again made sure I'd met everyone on the crew. They worked over the course of a week, and did a nice job of tidying up each afternoon before they left. A few things about the deck were new to me - like the design of the solar lights - and they gave me great explanations of how they worked, why these particular lights were better than some others, same with a few questions I had about the railing. When they were done, they cleaned up the yard really well, spread grass seed and straw over all the disturbed areas. Very nice. That day I realized that a neighbor had their deck started the same day as ours... but they were still just framed in, we were complete. Overall a great experience. Whenever I talked with people at the office, from receptionist to the owner, they were pleasant and friendly. Both crews were really nice guys - always said hello when I came out, always ready to answer any questions. And, they worked hard. All the work got done exactly on the schedule they'd given me, and ahead of what I'd expected. We did get another bid and it was so wildly off base I spent some time talking with them, and basically they really hadn't been listening well. Prestige always listened, always asked questions, always explained. We'd hire them again in a heartbeat. I told the owner I'd be happy to be a reference for them. It was clear to me that the owner and everyone else values the company's reputation. That's who you want doing work."

"No complaints. They put the shed up in less than 2 days. Looks great and I have already started to fill it up. Got a quote for some basement framing work seems fair but I need to get other quotes to be sure."

"I had hired these guys before with a good experience, so I gave it another shot. I know a little too much for my own good, so I had a few questions before the job was done regarding supplies that I needed. I wanted to buy my own materials because I'm nuts. They had no problem with this and told me exactly what kind of wire to buy via text message. Mike was sent over and I explained everything. He needed to fish a lot of wire down under the kitchen floor to the laundry room and then under the finished basement ceiling about 25 feet to the breaker. This guy can fish wire like a boss. He only had to cut 2 holes in my ceiling. I think I'm just going to cover them with access panels for the next time wire needs to be run to the breaker. I like Murphy because everything is easy. I can just book a block of time with fairly transparent pricing and they come by and knock it out. And - they don't give you any problems about having your own materials so an intermediate DIY'er like me can get some specific stuff."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Abingdon, VA

Finishing a basement turns unused square footage into livable space and returns up to 70% of what you spend when you sell your home. Beyond that resale boost, you gain a playroom, home office, or guest suite you can start enjoying right away. That mix of daily comfort and solid return on investment (ROI) makes basement finishing one of the smartest upgrades you can tackle.

In some parts of the country—especially lots on swamps, high water tables, or other wetlands—local codes prohibit basements. Saturated soil puts constant pressure on foundation walls and lets water seep in faster than any sump pump can handle. 

If your property sits on waterlogged ground, building on a slab or crawl space is often safer, more affordable, and code-compliant.

Most basements wrap up in four to eight weeks. Framing takes three to five days, with electrical and plumbing rough-ins following over the next week. Add five days for drywall, two to three for flooring, and another week for paint, trim, and punch-list items. 

Delays can happen if materials run late or your contractor’s calendar is packed, so build in a little cushion when you plan.

Whether a finished basement counts toward your home’s official square footage depends on local rules. Many areas only include below-grade space if it has code-approved egress, fully finished walls, ceilings, and floors, plus consistent heating. 

Check with your local assessor or building department before you start; meeting those standards can affect taxes, appraisals, and resale value.

Building codes require a checklist: dedicated heat and electrical service, a code-approved stairway, and at least one egress window or exterior door. Walls, ceilings, and floors must be fully finished and meet insulation, ventilation, and fire-separation standards. If you add a bedroom, you’ll also need a closet, proper clearances, and safe exits. If you change the layout later, be ready to update the space so every new room still meets today’s code.
