"Colosseum Remodeling did exactly what they said they would do and for the price they quoted. We had remodels in our previous homes, but these guys were by far the best. They had great work ethic, they communicated clearly and professionally and they made sure everything was completed to and beyond code. This is the 2nd project they did for us and we will be calling them again."

"The crew arrived on the date/time promised. They were polite, professional, and worked non-stop (except for 2 short breaks and lunch). Because of my landscaping, the crew determined the best way to get to the bottom of the foundation was to dig a hole—24” x 8’. It was truly impressive—perfectly squared off. They sealed the wall, replaced the dirt, and replaced decorative stone. They then installed a 50’ French drain—trenching, refilling the trench, and removing excess debris. The crew worked as a team, did a top-notch job, and left the job sites better than they found them. It took them 4 days—and they never wavered from an extraordinary work ethic. That was last week. This week? We’ve had torrential downpours and flooding—but my basement and garage are dry. I’d hire them again in a heartbeat."

"Freddy was very professional and knowledgeable and explained that the water issues were not the result of foundation issues and explained what he could do if i wanted a dry basement. He did not try to sell me something that i did not need."

"PJ is a nice guy and genuinely wanted us to be happy with his work. That said, it would have been helpful if he had actually drawn up plans and gone over them with us, working out details, before beginning the job. We also would recommend that demolition not begin until all necessary materials to complete the job have been purchased and all important materials are actually in his possession. Our estimated five week job ended up taking more than two and a half months - all that time without a usable bathroom! In fairness, much of the delay was not PJ's fault - but by the time we got to the last stages of the job, he was feeling rushed to complete it and we were just ready to have it done. As a result, we compromised on several issues and the end result was a bathroom that looked good, but was not what we had really wanted. I would also recommend that PJ either better train or monitor the young men he had doing the demolition work. Although they were friendly and polite, they managed to poke a hole in the wallboard of the adjacent room while tearing down the bathroom walls. They also were careless in dumping debris out the window - some of it landing on one of our shrubs, essentially destroying it. PJ repaired the damaged wall and we didn't even tell him about the shrub, but it left us feeling like we had let some people into our home who were careless with our home. On the other hand, Ernest, the man PJ had do the tile work for us, did a beautiful job and was consistently responsive, polite and professional."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Harrisonburg, 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.
