It is so nice to have a contractor who does what they say they are going to do and shows up when they say they are going to show up.

"Provider was very professional, he measured the the floor and gave me an estimate. The cost was much more then I anticipated, given the explanation on flyer.  When it was concluded that not only would I have to pay more, but I would also have to purchase my own material which would have been an even bigger cost to me.

"I had the pleasure of working with QualityFirst to get my house rental-ready. From start to finish, the team demonstrated professionalism, expertise and attention to detail and quality. With stellar and consistent communication throughout, Ryan and the team were more than willing to answer any questions I had, as well as collaborate with me throughout the entire process. The renovations were prompt, within budget and met to the highest standard of quality. I would recommend QualityFirst to anyone looking for property renovations.

"Far and away the only company we use for all our home maintenance, repairs and even had them do a complete kitchen remodel. The integrity of the owner is rare these days. Honest, on time finish barring beyond control outside factors, clean, high quality work that they stand behind. Have had a 15 year plus relationship and they have not cut corners as they have grown. Highly recommend!"

"The project went very well.  Before removing my appliances for the vinyl demo, all dishes and food were removed from the refrigerator and dishwasher to ensure that all personal items were protected. The job began on a Monday morning and was completed early Friday afternoon so I never had to go a weekend without the use of my kitchen. The installation went smoothly and the job looks extremely professional."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Smithfield, 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.
