"We are currently happy with the basement waterproofing and remodeling that was completed! There were issues - most minor but we haven't anything to compare as this was the first-time having contractors complete basement work for us; and our home is almost 100 years old. They were flexible given unexpected issues that came about with the basement. The water proofing was done first and they did a great job. They were happy to review and resolve any remaining questions/concerns and/or issues. Jorge in the service dept. is professional, punctual and is a great representative and asset for this company."

"Martin quickly responded to phone calls. His employee was very prompt, pleasant, and a hard worker. The floor looks wonderful! I would highly recommend them. This is the second time we have used them. 7 years ago we used them for a total basement renovation including bathroom installation. We were very pleased with the quality of that work as well."

"We just got our basement remodeled by Blue Ridge Builders and we are extremely satisfied with their performance. The basement looks outstanding and the finish mirrors that of our main floor upstairs. We could not have hired a better builder. Wayne and his crew demonstrated to us that they are real professionals. The structure and finish is solid. My wife and I were looking for honesty, dependability and professionalism; Blue Ridge Builders demonstrated all of the above and more. Thank you so much Wayne. We would definitely recommend Blue Ridge Builders."

"Guy and his team were amazing and professional. Guy was able to recommend solutions to resolve ongoing water problems in the basement, completed the install and finished the basement. It has added significant square footage and value to our home. Additionally, he completely remodeled the kitchen and was able to suggest small but important finishing details the really brought the project together. The kitchen is transformed and is a gathering spot for the whole family. Guy has also helped us out with smaller odds and ends including installing new outlets and breakers, repairing drywall, and smaller paint jobs. I would recommend Guy and his team over and over again!"

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Yes, in most cases, finishing a basement is worth the cost. The project adds valuable, usable square footage to your home and typically provides a return on investment (ROI) of 70% to 75%. For example, an average basement refinishing project costing $32,000 could add between $22,400 and $24,000 to your property's value. The final value added depends on factors like your location, the quality of materials and workmanship, and the features you include, such as a living space, bedroom, or bathroom. To be officially counted in your home's total square footage, the finished space must comply with all local building codes, including requirements for points of egress. However, in areas prone to flooding, a finished basement might be seen as a liability by potential buyers and could potentially decrease your home's value.

Roughing in and connecting utilities are the hardest parts of finishing a basement, and they’re the parts we typically don’t recommend doing as a DIY project. Unfortunately, your finishing timeline can be extended by weeks while you wait for contractors and inspectors to install electrical wiring, plumbing lines, and heating/cooling equipment and carry out inspections.

Yes, most general contractors require an initial down payment, typically between 10% and 25% of the total project cost. This upfront payment helps cover the costs of materials, permits, and subcontractors. The remaining project costs are usually billed after specific project milestones are reached or on set completion dates, as outlined in your contract. Be wary of contractors who require a significant deposit of 50% or more upfront, as this could be a red flag for a scam.

The difficulty of adding a basement to an existing house can vary depending on the house’s location, the size of the basement, and the type and condition of the existing foundation. Adding a basement is a job best handled by the pros, so you’ll need to enlist professional help for this project.

Yes, adding a walkout basement will usually bump up your property value. Most homeowners prefer walk out basements because the exposed wall that’s level with the ground provides more utility via a ground-level exterior entrance, and they can fit full windows, which adds natural light and ventilation to the basement area. The only exception might be in areas prone to tornadoes, as walkout basements aren’t as safe as regular basements during a tornado, particularly if they include large windows or glass sliding doors.
