"The work was done in a professional manner. They were friendly and willing to answer questions about the work. The company handled all permits and scheduling the county inspector to come and clear the job. It completely cleared up the leaking problem in the basement, and the foundation is good for the rest of the house's live. They cleaned up really well, there was no dust problem, and in the area they dug a trench, they even reseeded the lawn with grass seed. We were very happy with the work and feel like we are safe from any more foundation problems."

"First of all, Roger Roten, the B'Dry sales rep was great. Presented their product and their capabilities well and provided very prompt support after the contract was signed. I did the prep work (taking down drywall, etc.) and he responded to my email questions quickly after any inquiry. They scheduled the job for 5/13/2016 and said they would arrive between 8 and 10 AM. Received a call from their installation lead man at 8 am that day to tell me they were coming from Greensboro, NC and would be their by 10. They arrived at 9:45 and immediately went to work. The team included 3 men with "David" acting as the lead man. In looking at the materials that they were to install, it was obvious that everything was high quality; high gauge steel, impressive sump pump, etc. They finished the job and left around 7 pm that day. They did a good job of cleaning up the site before leaving. One thing that really impressed me was that there was no concrete dust all over every thing from the jackhammers. They put up plastic sheeting throughout the basement and covered all furniture and wall hangings. In addition, they used a large fan with flexible plastic tubing to suck the dust to outside. They were careful in their work and nothing was damaged in the finished basement. When they tested the sump pump, the water came out of the basement at a prodigious rate. I believe one could have put a couple of hoses into the sump hole, run them at full blast and the pump would have easily kept up with the water volume coming from those hoses. Their price was not the lowest, but I think it was a fair price given the quality of the materials, workmanship and the accompanying guarantee."

"We were greeted and helped by Angela Jordan when we arrived. She helped guide us to different types of carpet we might like based on our preferences. Once the carpet was chosen the process was very fast + simple and the carpet was ordered at a very reasonable price. About a week later we got a call saying the carpet was in so we set an install date for about 3 days down the road. The installers arrived on time and we're very professional and proficient at their jobs. They answered all of my questions and managed to get the job done in about 3 hours. Overall I am very happy with my purchase and I would recommend the company to any of my friends that are in the market for any type of flooring!"

"Flooring and plumber contractors did really good work.  The drywall/painting team worked hard and fast; they did an excellent job on the drywall, but the paint had drips left in many areas.  Easy enough for me to fix, but annoying when you have professionals come out.  Overall I was really happy with the service they provided. <br />"

"This project was a huge undertaking, the home is 107 years old. After weeks of frustrating meetings with OTHER contractors, it was refreshing and reassuring to finally have a company and its representative treat me with respect and have patience to answer all my questions. The contact person for this division was Joe S. and he was very knowledgeable and helpful to me every step of the way. <br />  The workmen were timely and professional, cleaned up the area very well, and did an excellent job fixing the myriad of issues that we had. The rotted wood and leaky roof were expertly removed and replaced with material that is guaranteed to stop our problem with interior water damage. The replacement woodwork looks better then new, and attention to detail to keep the original historic look of the home was excellent. <br />  The pricing was reasonable and fair, I had gotten many estimates and they ran the gamut from less to way more. We don't settle on a contractor by price alone, there are many facets to choosing the right person for the job. W. E. Bowman fit the bill on all  levels, good communication, timeliness in response and job completion, good reputation, knowledge of materials being used, etc. <br />  We look forward to working with W.E. Bowman in the future and have no reservation or hesitations about using them for all our remodeling and repair projects."

"<p>The very best experience I have ever had with a contractor.  Ron was meticulous in attention to detail.  He was immediately responsive to all messages from us.  The quality of the work was far beyond expectations.  A friend who had the same work done at about the same time but by a different contractor has had nothing but continuous problems with siding coming loose and even pieces completely falling off.  He contacted us months after job completion just to ensure we were fully satisfied and had not had any problems.  With other contractors I have hired, once the job was completed, they fell off the face of the earth, refusing to even respond to questions once they were paid and gone.</p> <p><br /></p> <p>I AM SIXTY YEARS OLD AND HAVE HAD MANY DEALINGS WITH CONTRACTORS.  RON'S WORK FROM START TO FINISH AND BEYOND WAS THE VERY BEST I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED.  AS OF JULY 2015, I HAVE REACHED OUT TO HIM AGAIN REGARDING A FULL BATHROOM REMODEL AND POSSIBLE OTHER JOBS.</p> <p><br /></p> <p>I CANNOT OFFER A HIGH ENOUGH RECOMMENDATION.  THE PEACE OF MIND THAT COMES FROM WORKING WITH A CONTRACTOR THAT I KNOW I CAN TRUST CANNOT BE OVERSTATED.</p> <br />"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Tappahannock, 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.
