"The Tough Builders team was absolutely amazing! I am finishing our basement and added a shower, toilet, sink and injector pump and Hector and his team from Tough Builders did just awesome job. Not only did they have to move/reframe walls, relocate electrical work and plumb the bathroom to the pump, they did so much more. This is best team I have could have chosen and we are so happy with the work they did. I cannot say enough about Tough Builders and in fact, they will be the ones that finish our basement out. I look forward to seeing our basement finished and the next review I will submit pictures. If you need any work done to your house, I would highly recommend Tough Builders! 5+ stars!!! Thank you Hector...you are awesome!!!!!"

"Incredible experience. This is the best kitchen I've ever owned, and I'm a senior citizen who spent 22 years enduring military moves. Dan Martin and crew tailored this kitchen exactly to what I wanted. In fact, there were more than just one or two suggestions Dan made about the design, for which I am most grateful. Two of these were eliminating non-load bearing walls, which opened a tiny galley kitchen up to include a island/breakfast bar. At my most recent family gathering, it was a breeze to feed 22 people. In the original kitchen, barely two people could fit (see photo with Charlie the Dog). Work was exceptional. Dan and crew were diligent, precise and willing to go the extra mile to make sure everything was done to their high standards. Dan also works with the homeowner to keep costs down, and kept the homeowner informed daily of progress and plans. His was the lowest bid. Since my kitchen completion, I recommended him to others, and they had similar results. Outstanding service, true professional. Several months after the kitchen renovation, I had a smaller project to repair/replace the basement ceiling. Again, the work was done professionally, and I was completely pleased. Great service, great price; experienced and hard-working crew - I didn't even bother to get several bids this time."

"We couldn't be happier!  After spending several weeks comparing the sheds at Home Depot & Lowes, as well as several other big national and regional players, we luckily stumbled upon C&R.  We ended up with a better-built shed, with better lumber & materials, for several hundred dollars less than we'd have paid elsewhere. <br /> Scheduling was easy, with communication over email and phone.  The work was done over the course of two days by the owner, Ray, and his brother.  At the end of the project they left the site perfectly clean. <br /> We were so satisfied with the work Ray and Rick did on the shed that we're using C&R to do an upcoming master bath remodel as well! <br />"

"I called CWD Construction Incorporated and the owner Chuck Dennison came right out and gave me an estimate to replace the roof on my parents home. Mr. Dennison was very helpful explaining what he was going to do and when he would be able to start the job. The job started on time and they finished quicker than expected. They did not mind working passed five o'clock to make sure that the roof would not get wet in case a strom came up. After the new roof was installed, the crew went around the yard and made sure every was picked up and cleaned up. I could not say enough good things about Chuck and his crew Lee and Tommy, They went above and beyond what we had expected. I will recommend them to everyone that needs a great job done."

"Randy, our electrician, was excellent. He was professional, polite, and efficient. He explained what he was doing and was very ingenious when we discovered that the screws to hang the fixture were not long enough. He problem-solved the situation on the spot and was able to hang the fixture with a few minor adjustments. It looks great. When he replaced the basement light switch, he explained why it went bad. I was concerned that there was a wiring problem in our basement and he assured me that the rest of the wiring was done very well."

"Matt was prompt with his response to our request for an estimate. He worked within the rates provided by the penny pinching insurance company. He stayed in contact with us throughout the two month long project. He took a bare stud and concrete gutted basement and turned it back into a great living space. He was flexible as our plans changed. The guy is a true jack of all trades. The project took longer than we wanted, but not all of the delay was the contractor's fault. He was also amenable to our expectations that minor defects be fixed. <br /> We intend to employ him again to work around our home. <br />"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Martinsville, 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.
