"We recently had our kitchen remodeled by Upgrade Remodeling, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the entire experience. From start to finish, the process was smooth, efficient, and professional. The crews that came out were incredibly hardworking, knowledgeable, and, most importantly, respectful—both toward us and our home. What really impressed us was how organized and efficient the team was. They completed the entire kitchen remodel in just 5 days, which is remarkable considering the amount of work to be done. Every step of the way, they kept the space tidy and treated our home with care, which we truly appreciated. Our new kitchen looks fantastic, and we’re so glad we chose Upgrade Remodeling. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled, and courteous remodeling team. "

If Anderson and his family does the work you will definitely love it. Johanna is professional at all times. A storm was coming and he came to put the roof on before it hid because our home had suffered from damage from a storm just weeks prior. I was in school he came before I left at 6am and when I came home he was coming down. They also put on my front door and fixed my garage door. And if another project should arise, I WILL CALL THEM AGAIN... AND WILL LOL"

Tidewater Pro Build is a mid-size home remodeling company operating out of Chesapeake, VA. Our team does the majority of the leg work in the field and in so doing keeps subcontracting to a minimum. We provide flexible financing options.
"This whole experience went better than any other project we've had done. Caleb, the owner, spoke with me first and was willing to look at the bathroom the same day. I got a quote for just the shower and one for the entire bathroom. We decided to replace just the shower. I received weekly phone calls updating me on when they could start. They were able to start earlier than anticipated and they completed the work quickly and efficiently. I was trying to coordinate this from another state and they did a great job taking pictures and staying in touch. The shower looks amazing."

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.
