"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."

"For almost a decade I've wanted my unfinished basement remodeled, but I was always too skeptical to invest in a project of this scale. However, through Angi and based on reviews, I went with Total Renovating. Russell and his crew were awesome. They worked within my budget and immediately hit the ground running. Communication was always easy and I was given advanced notice of when workers/inspectors would be by throughout the entire process. And the work was excellent; no corners cut (figuratively). I have no "before" photos to share so these pics don't show exactly how far this basement's come in the last 5 weeks."

"Just wanted to say how happy my wife and I are with the beautiful work that Jaber Construction did on our bathroom remodel. We did are due diligence by getting more than one estimate before proceeding and Jaber Construction was really affordable compared with other ridiculous estimates we received. That being said Jaber Construction's work was fantastic! Nick the owner and his crew were very professional, and Nick was always available and easy to communicate with if we had any concerns regarding the remodel. Nick also suggested a place to get our tiles which made the process so much easier. From start to finish he and his crew were very professional and punctual. There was a lot of moving pieces to this remodel, but Nick made it pretty much pain free! I would highly recommend Jaber Construction for your remodeling needs!"

"Gary Golman and REO-ServicePro, Inc are incredible! We needed work done quickly to comply with a housing inspection prior to sale of our home and Gary and his team were responsive, thorough, and timely. Gary completed the work ahead of schedule and on-budget. I was impressed that Gary replied within an hour to my initial request for an estimate and then came to our house that same afternoon. He quickly - and accurately - assessed what needed to be done, took thorough measurements, and sent us a detailed estimate within 24 hours. His team got to work within days and Gary was personally involved with daily oversight as well as some of the work. Professional, courteous and efficient do not fully describe how satisfied we were with the work done by REO-ServicePro and Gary Golman. We highly recommend him for any renovation, reconstruction, or new addition for any home. A++++"

"Smoothest remodeling project we have ever experienced! Workmanship was top notch, and Jose did an outstanding job communicating with us throughout the project, sending photos and videos of progress when we could not be present. Our master bathroom remodel was completed in three weeks, as promised. I give them my highest recommendation, and would definitely use them again!"

"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!"

"I am thrilled with the complete master bath remodel and kitchen that Tony & his incredible crew from Manex recently completed in my home. It was a great experience from start to finish. This company truly works as a team, communication channels are all open. Even when a hiccup occurred…they addressed it immediately & moved forward. The crew was professional & positive…really a pleasure to have them in my home. Tony went above & beyond in every aspect including making sure I was not simply satisfied with the work but truly happy. I also want to thank his crew member Jimmy . He did an exceptional job & really kept the work site clean every day. I will absolutely use Manex remodeling again for future projects."

"HIVEX is truly the exemplar of a well-run, high quality, superior customer-service-providing, American small business. If you are having your basement finished or remodeled, do yourself and your home the great favor of contacting HIVEX for a consultation and estimate. From the first meeting, Chris and his team are beyond impressive, straightforward, clear in communicating, and honest, clear and consistent in financial estimates, and in payment and work schedules. They handle all permitting and municipality coordination which is, by itself, an enormous value. They have basement finishing down to a science, with the additional talent and patience to create and add cool, unique, customer-specific requests. HIVEX's work is top-notch and they stand by it. SO happy we found HIVEX! You will be too."

"This is our second time working with Kevin and he is absolutely fantastic to work with. During Covid he built us a 2 car detached garage and we had such a great experience that when we decided to finish our basement we didn't call anyone else. Kevin met with us and provided us a quote to finish our basement and we decided right then that we were ready to move forward. Kevin was very professional and thorough and always kept us informed of our basement project every step of the way. Whenever we would have any questions he was very prompt with getting back to us and answering our questions. He started on our basement on time and finished on time. The family room area looks amazing. He had great ideas for a snack bar that we hadn't thought about and are so glad that we ended up adding it. It's so nice now to be watching tv and be able to walk over to the snack bar and grab a soda out of the fridge or put a bag of popcorn in the microwave and not have to run upstairs. The granite counter top for the snack bar looks great! We also added two cabinets and fridge under the counter. We also had a full bathroom added and the tile work turned out amazing. The whole bathroom looks great! When Kevin saw our basement and all my holiday decor and craft supplies he realized that I really needed a place to organize and store all this stuff. He was able to build me a closet that maximized the space and I was able to get all my "stuff" in there. We are looking at remodeling our master bathroom and kitchen in a couple years and we won't be wasting our time looking for any other contractors. Kevin will be the person we call."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Gainesville, 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.
