"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."

"Capstone Remodeling completed a full remodel of our 1970’s town home this fall. Stephen worked with us to create a detailed plan and ultimately completed the project on time and within our budget. Our project included the full remodel of our kitchen and four bathrooms in addition to laying new flooring in the basement, drywall repair, lighting installation throughout the home, ceiling fan installation, and window installation. The expert knowledge of Capstone was apparent from our first meeting and continued throughout the project. All of my questions were answered fully and in a timely manner. As to be expected with an older home there were a few “surprises” but Stephen was able to troubleshoot and handle all issues with ease. What could have been an immensely stressful process was made pleasant with all of the support offered. The crew was professional and kept a clean and safe working environment. No detail was spared and skillful craftsmanship led to beautiful results. I cannot speak highly enough of Capstone's service and integrity and would not hesitate to hire them again for future projects."

"My home needed more functional closet space in the master bedroom, and I wasn't sure how to make it work given the space restrictions. I met with a couple of contractors previously, but was most impressed with DiJulio Contracting. The owner, Scott, came out and walked me through some different options that I had never even considered beforehand. He helped me envision the space and also gave me valuable feedback as to the cost implications for each options. A few days later, they sent me over an estimate with a detailed sketch of the two options I liked best, along with estimates for each. It even included some imagery to help me imagine things more clearly. Their pricing was competitive and I decided to hire DiJulio Contracting as I felt most confident and comfortable with them. I couldn't have been more pleased with the end result. Their workers were all very courteous, punctual, and most importantly for me, cleaned up each and every day. I am so happy with my new closet and overall the process was very easy. I highly recommend Scott and his team at DiJulio Contracting."

"After contacting (with pictures) Gary at REO-Servicepro, he immediately responded. He sent Jose out to look at the front porch portico and when he realized it was a hazard, put his crew on it pronto. The crew were professional, took care to pick up daily and completed the work in a few days. The crew obviously took pride in their work and Gary was exceptional at providing pictures and updates of the daily progress. I would highly recommend this business for all contracting needs. See before and after pictures."

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.
