"My 20-year old deck was in need of significant maintenance and repairs. When I contacted Troy-Bilt Construction through the Angi® Official Site, Troy replied with lightning fast speed and was available to meet me at my home to discuss my concerns in a timely fashion. I was most impressed with Troy’s ingenious solution to add additional support to my deck and to make additional repairs, and his proposal, pricing, and responsive service sold me immediately. Troy was able to stay on pace with the project timeline within the approved estimate, and the quality of his work was impeccable. Additionally, the value that I received for the work performed was significantly above other contractors who I have used in the past. If you’re looking for quality work and integrity throughout all aspects of operations, you won’t be disappointed if you choose Troy-Bilt Construction. I am pleased to be able to provide my highest recommendation for Troy, and I plan to used his services in the future."

"Should be called "Steal-tite". Company came out to give estimate in MAY 2019. Said they couldn't do the job until December, but we weren't having any leaks by June, so we went ahead and signed contract, sent in $800 deposit. Well, we ended up buying another house and decided not to have the work done. This was about October. Tried to call Seal-tite several times, always get the "answering service" and they never call back. Finally found the card of the engineer who quoted our estimate, Curt Giantonio. He said too bad so sad for our deposit, and that we had no recourse to get the money back. I realize the contract said the deposit was non-refundable. But the company could have been courteous, understood the situation, and refund my deposit even though legally they don't have to. Instead they've chosen to keep my money for zero services rendered. I could understand them keeping a portion to cover the travel costs of the engineer who came on site to give the estimate, but there's no way that is anywhere near $800. Greedy company that obviously doesn't care about people."

"Goodman B. Duke built front and back porches on our duplex, and made some interior modifications. They were professional and competent, and made some excellent suggestions--we couldn't be happier with the results. What's more, they did the interior modifications on very short notice, and finished ahead of our drop dead date. We highly recommend Goodman B. Duke General Contractor Inc."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Elkton, 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.
