"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."

"We are very happy with our project completed by Strong Tower. We needed work done on a remodel to include installing, finishing and painting drywall, installing floors, kitchen cabinets, shower and bath, and lighting. Carlos and his team worked diligently to complete the project well before our deadline. Carlos is very communicative and was great with keeping us informed on his progress and any obstacles he encountered. We are very happy with the quality of the team’s workmanship. They kept the home clean and in order after every day they worked. We previously hired them to install a new side porch as well as add a wire railing system on 3 porches, and we were also very happy with that. We highly recommend Strong Tower Home Improvements and look forward to working with them again!"

"The crew arrived on the date/time promised. They were polite, professional, and worked non-stop (except for 2 short breaks and lunch). Because of my landscaping, the crew determined the best way to get to the bottom of the foundation was to dig a hole—24” x 8’. It was truly impressive—perfectly squared off. They sealed the wall, replaced the dirt, and replaced decorative stone. They then installed a 50’ French drain—trenching, refilling the trench, and removing excess debris. The crew worked as a team, did a top-notch job, and left the job sites better than they found them. It took them 4 days—and they never wavered from an extraordinary work ethic. That was last week. This week? We’ve had torrential downpours and flooding—but my basement and garage are dry. I’d hire them again in a heartbeat."

"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."

"The bathtub drains were over 40 years old and could not be fixed unless they were approached from the underside of the two bath tubs. I have a finished basement and I didn't want to tear into finished ceiling so I elected not to repair but to just use drain stopper covers instead. <br />"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Lexington, 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.
