"They found the cut-off under my house, but told me that the law required me to have it near the dishwasher. They installed the new valve. In the meantime, they discovered lots of badly corroded pipes throughout my kitchen and basement. They replaced the pipes and also replaced my hot water heater, also badly corroded. Although this was very costly (more than I had ever planned to spend), I could see that the corrosion was bad, and i was glad that they had noticed the problems and moved to take care of them before pipes burst and I had a damaged house to deal with. They also did a couple of small things for which they did not charge."

"Rene is hardworking, honest and above all, trustworthy - that is why I hire him. His pricing is also reasonable. The quality of his work is absolutely top notch - I just cannot say how much my wife and I value this. Our basement is fully functional, our kitchen came out looking exactly as we had envisioned it, and our bathrooms look fabulous. Needless to say, I'd recommend Rene in a heartbeat!"

"Jason came out to inspect the cracks I saw in the brick exterior of my house. He was prompt, polite and very thorough in inspecting all around the house. He also checked the crawlspace and gave me advice on keeping rain water away from the foundation.
He said the cracks in the brick were probably due to the foundation settling and would require foundation supports to correct the problem but that it did not need to be done right away."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in New Kent, 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.
