"I would HIGHLY recommend Hivex to anyone looking to increase the value of their home at an affordable cost that's completely hassle free. From start to finish the team at Hivex was kind and very knowledgeable, and they went above and beyond for our every ask. We sat back and watched the magic take place. Another contractor that we initially received a quote from said putting a door access under our basement stairs would never pass county inspection. Not only did Hivex complete the job no questions asked but it also passed inspection with flying colors. Michael, Bob, Andrea and every crew member was prompt and courteous and followed the set schedule without delay. They happily accepted a work change order towards the end of our project when we changed our minds unexpectedly. We truly don't have enough wonderful things to say about every Hivex employee and the excellence they put behind everything they do. Hiring them to complete the basement of our dreams was the best and easiest decision we've ever made to increase the appeal and value of our home!"

"I hired Luis Dorta, the owner of LED Construction. We decided to work with him because he is the owner and he is the one who does the work. He works with you on your idea, he sketches it out, and then double/triple checks to ensure alignment and satisfaction throughout the project. He build some cabinets, shelves, reorganized all our closets with additional rods and built-in shelving, as well as other small jobs. We have used Luis on a number of projects around our house."

"I hired JB construction to pour a decent sized concrete pad under my deck as well as to replace the existing footings. Working with Josh was great - he was timely, honest, patient, and very clear and concise with cost and timeframes. Once the job started, the crews arrived and were very accommodating, capable and friendly. I have no problem trusting these individuals for the next projects we have planned and am looking forward to seeing the quality of work they continue to deliver!"

Customers say: Quick response

"They did the job right and were very thorough and courteous. It was obvious that they were juggling my project with other projects and that was sometimes annoying. But they handled the two major changes (new color of paint and adding shower doors) very well. They even complimented me on the new paint color because it broke up the monotony of the first color choice and the new color is very pretty. Great experience!"

"Greg and his team did an outstanding job. From demo to final inspection, they team was on top of the installation communicating as they went. A few challenges with some finicky tile we decided to use but they worked through the issues and the end result is better than we anticipated. The team cleaned up at the end of each day and, because we work from home offices, was concerned about any noise or disruption. Overall, it was a very good experience and I would highly recommend Greg and his team. But be prepared for a wait.!!! Greg is in such high demand that it can take a bit to get on his schedule but you'll be happy you did!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Charlottesville, 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.
