"Working with Rafael was an absolute pleasure from beginning to end. From our first meeting through the final stages of the project, he remained consistently engaged, enthusiastic, thoughtful, and considerate. He went above and beyond, showing a strong commitment to quality and attention to detail. It’s clear he genuinely loves what he does—his insights throughout the process were incredibly helpful and reassuring. This was a major undertaking for me, but Rafael made me feel confident and comfortable every step of the way. Even when unexpected challenges came up, I still felt great about the experience and my decision to hire East Beach Construction. The daily crew was impressively punctual. I’d see them arrive early, waiting respectfully until their official start time. The kitchen renovation was understandably messy, but they did a good job containing the disruption and cleaning up at the end of each day. I will absolutely hire them again for future projects."

"It was a breeze from start to finish, Lloyd took care of everything, If things did not quite  work out how we envisioned  Lloyd came up with some great ideas, he moved walls, moved doors, anything and every thing to keep us happy, all the while trying to stay in budget. With any older home (47yrs in this case) you will run into problems,old wiring rotting wood etc Lloyd took care of everything."

"We had a great experience with MLM on our roof replacement. From our first meetings with Matt all the way through installation and follow-up with Alex Jurado, everything was handled very professionally. The roof work reflects a high degree of workmanship and quality. The gentlemen who did the roof work were respectful, polite, and efficient. Everything seems to have gone smoothly, and all our questions were answered responsively. The roof project was completed with us feeling good about it and being glad we went with MLM. We feel confident with their work. Thanks to Matt and Alex for guiding us through what was a major undertaking for us and being so friendly, thorough, and respectful all the way throughout!"

"Bob Stahl and his guys did an excellent and expedient job of the project. They arrived on the day they had committed to start the work in late January.  The demo work and new base cabinet work was installed well enough in a week for the countertop provider (which I had hired separately) to measure.  They then completed the custom cabinet work, did drywall patching and aligning of everything (which was tricky because some of my walls and soffits were pretty out of plumb).  We had to wait about 2 weeks for the counter to be fabricated and installed and then Bob and his crew got right back to work and wrapped things up including the tile backsplash.  The craftsmanship and quality of the cabinets is excellent (better than any manufactured cabinets I've seen - all 3/4 inch birch ply) and the quality of the custom painted white finish is excellent. His guys were meticulous and I'm not the easiest guy to satisfy (I'm an architect).  The cost was exactly what he'd indicated it would be and the items I added to the scope of the project were very reasonably priced.  They were also very neat and cleaned up everyday after they completed work. <br /> I would hire Bob again in a heartbeat and have already recommended him to friends. <br />"

"The weather delayed things a little at times. <br /> Adding a hinge to the lid of the bench was delayed, but was finished satisfactorily eventually.  <br /> Overall we were very pleased with the work. All the workers were very friendly and cooperative. <br /> We really like our small deck. It is well made and perfect for our needs. <br />"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Portsmouth, 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.
