"I highly recommend Ultimate Craftsman Home Repair and Remodeling. Mike Belvin and his team are very knowledgeable and professional. We finally discovered the reason we were getting strange cracks in our drywall in the main part of our house was due to truss damage caused by failure of the gang plates at the bottom of our roof trusses. As we are in the most active part of hurricane season, we were very anxious to have the repairs completed quickly. At the time, Hurricane Irma was a category 5 storm in the Carribean, and nobody knew where it would go next. Ultimate Craftsman came in quickly and got the 11 damaged trusses repaired just before the hurricane hit the Florida Keys. Lucky for us, we didn't get affected by that storm, and now we won't have to worry about our roof failing when we get the next one. The trusses were repaired, the ceiling drywall repaired and the ceiling and walls repainted. Everything looks brand new. Overall, they did an EXCELLENT job, on-time and as estimated. I hope to use them again for future remodeling projects"

"<p>I highly recommend Compton Construction. We interviewed several contractors before choosing David and accepting his bid. His crew built a screened in porch and a deck on our sloping wooded lot.  <br /> <br /></p> <p>The quality of the work is excellent --several friends and family members who are in building were just floored at the workmanship. Part of his success is that his crew is employed by him full time -- they worked well together and showed pride in the work they did for us. Some of workers even took pictures of the final product and best of all, they really liked our dog and let her hang out with them. <br /> <br /></p> <p>David worked with us on the design of the porch before construction and kept us informed all the way through the process. He advised us when we purchased extra features we wanted and arranged for an excellent electrician, who we have continued to use for other projects. I have recommended him to other friends and neighbors, who want to add on to their houses. </p> <br />"

"The modern version of “You get what you pay for” is more accurately phrased “You don’t get what you don’t pay for.” You might find a lower price for your project, but you won’t find a better value than Tough Builders. Our project was a complete bathroom overhaul. Mr. Hector Vasquez, Tough Builders Project Manager, came to our home before demolition to discuss scope and take measurements. He listened to us as we described the materials and effects we wanted to create. As we discussed options, Mr. Vasquez took careful notes to ensure an accurate proposal that specified important details, including what materials, what fixtures, who would procure which items, and on what schedule. Following separate demolition, Tough Builders took over the space with sheathing on the walls, raw subflooring, and no ceiling. We discovered that the selected sink and toilet would require significant plumbing modifications since modular housing often takes shortcuts such as routing plumbing through the floor instead of the walls. Mr. Vasquez accurately scoped the required work and submitted a change proposal to cover the labor and materials. Everything was up front and approved before the modification work started. No surprises. The sequencing of work was very well-planned. The right workers with the right skills arrived on time and prepared to work. The plumbing was corrected with minimal interruption to our water service. The wall boards were installed precisely and sealed exceptionally well in the shower enclosure area. The paint team spent the time to ensure that the surfaces to be painted were smooth and free of any defects. The shower tiles were precisely squared and well anchored. The flooring and fixtures went in last and brought an already beautiful space to life. Every single craftsman who came into our home worked diligently, quietly, and professionally. They respected our home and our family as the project progressed. Each team thoroughly cleaned the inside work area, the outside preparation area, and the path from one to the other. Every single person from Tough Builders was respectful, courteous, and trustworthy. They answered questions when asked and offered opinions when requested. We were completely confident in the quality of the work that was being done. Tough Builders puts in the extra effort to ensure their customers are delighted with the finished project."

"Stephens Remodeling was very personable and helpful.  Their design was used with some modifications.  We did not use them for the construction because the estimated cost was more than we could manage.  I am sure they would have done an excellent job. <br />"

"I was most impressed with the subcontractors.  They were all people you were happy to welcome into your home.  The finish carpenter and the tile people were so good that we are using Custom Design Works for another project that is now underway (porch enclosure).  Tony and his staff are people you are glad to be working with.  He came and inspected the work of the subcontractors and made sure all was done to perfection."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Williamsburg, 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.
