"We had a *perfect* experience with Click Construction. We're finishing our basement and doing most of the work ourselves, but decided to get professional help with the drywall installation. I expected that we might have trouble finding a contractor, but Alan got back to us immediately. Initially, he estimated that it would be about three weeks before he could start the job, but then he called back the next day to say that if we could get the paperwork done, he could have a team available in just a couple of days. I think I initially contacted him on Monday, and the team started work on Thursday. They were done a week later. It was a pleasure to work with them. They were friendly and professional. And the work they did is perfect! I'm really picky, but there's nothing to be picky about. Everything is straight, smooth, and crisp. They drywalled a sitting room, bedroom, walk-in closet, and bathroom. The whole area looks amazing! We just installed a floating floor this weekend, which can be a real PITB if things aren't straight, but we had no problems. At one point, we were joining the flooring sections between the sitting room, bedroom, and closet. All three pieces needed to join to a single row of flooring that connected them on one side. The tolerance has to be perfect, or the seams won't snap together. It was accurate to less than 1/16th of an inch. *That* is quality construction. On top of that, you can trust them. We were scheduled to pay for the job in three installments: one third when the contract was signed, another third when the taping was completed, and the final third when the job was done. Alan picked up the first payment the day the guys started work. Then he came by again on Day 5. It was obvious that the job was nearing completion. They just had to sand the skim coat (basically the detail work that makes everything look right) and clean up. I decided to just write a check for the full amount. Now, I know you're not supposed to pay for the job until it's completed--and I had been burned years ago when I did exactly that with a different contractor (who then never finished the job and proved to be unreachable), but it seemed like an unnecessary bother to drag Alan out to our house again in a couple of days to pick up the third payment. He assured me that his guys would be back the following day to finish the job and then the day after that to clean everything up. And he was as good as his word. The team did exactly what he said they would do. You can't go wrong with trustworthy, skilled, friendly, professional people like this. Thanks, Alan, and please thank the rest of the crew for us too. We truly enjoyed your help and expertise."

"Scott and his crew did an amazing job. I am writing this one year after the job was completed, and we are still very happy with all aspects of the finished project. Scott was very responsible and responsive, and he was communicative. They showed up when they said they would and they did what they said they would do, and they did it well. We were pleased with them from start to finish. Very reasonably priced. Worked well with us, from easy discussions on the planning to modifications during the build-out. They took an unfinished cinder-block shell and turned it into a part of our home that is livable, functional, and beautiful, including a new rec room, laundry, in-law suite with kitchenette and bathroom, and bedroom, with all-new plumbing, electrical, tile, flooring, walls, and more. The performed high quality work that has withstood the test of time. It was one of the best contractor experiences and end-products I have had, and I would unreservedly recommend or rehire DiJulio Contracting again."

"We hired Total Renovations to finish our basement. They were great to work with. They met all of our needs and worked within our budget. Communication was good, and Russell or Tyron would visit to check the progress and ensure the inspections went well at every step. All work was completed timely, and within the estimated timeline. Any questions or concerns were discussed and addressed. The quality of construction was excellent, even amongst the uneven poured concrete basement foundation walls. The studded walls are all plum and the drywall finish is smooth and clean. The basement remained very clean and tidy throughout the project. No lose materials and the floor was always swept clean. I was impressed with the level of care, even for our relatively small project. I would recommend Total Renovations for any projects and will be holding onto their info for our future projects."

"Excellent service. My project started with a kitchen remodel, and when I saw how professional the team was and the outstanding and the meticulous work, I asked them to help with other projects. So I had them do a partial basement remodel, and then repairs to the outside steps. More work coming your way LFC. THANK YOU!"

"We were very impressed and happy with ICM Remodeling's work. First, they provided a thorough estimate as well as consultation about overall design as well as specific products. Their quote was better than several others. Most importantly, they deliver very high quality work. They do not cut corners on any work. When unexpected obstacles arose due to previous repair jobs that had been done in the bathroom, Israel brought them to our attention immediately and provided estimates for our approval before moving forward. The job was finished on time and looks fantastic.The team is VERY easy to work with, and Israel was highly responsive -- both during the job, and afterward. A few weeks after completion, I asked him to come address an issue with the shower door and he took care of it within a couple of days. I would be very happy to work with ICM Remodeling on another project, and recommend them highly."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Fairfax, 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.
