"Paolo, Mario and Sal did an exceptional job on my home remodeling. They have personal and professional integrity and I will use their services and recommend them without hesitation. They showed up on time and cleaned up when they left each day. Paolo came over immediately after my initial call and had an acceptable estimate the very next day. I am so very happy with their work and they are an amazing bunch of guys on every level. I can't sing their praises highly enough!"

"I had the basement taken care of by JES about 3 years ago, and this year they came and performed the annual system inspection. The service tech, Derrick Schmidt, was extremely professional and not only performed the inspection in an efficient manner, but also answered my questions and explained options for future basement care. I would definitely recommend JES to anyone with a basement issue. The work done has kept the basement dry and comfortable, with no problems."

"It went great!   Randy is a professional and is very cooperative in working with the homeowner.  He even took a day off when we needed him to give us more time to clear an area for his work.  We plan on using him for other small to medium sized projects. We are a bit disappointed in the failure to get a better match on the ceiling where the wall previously existed.  Likewise on the floor.

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Harrisonburg, 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.
