Get matched with top basement remodelers in Arlington, VA

"We had a *perfect* experience with Click Construction. We're finishing our basement and doing most of the work ourselves, but decided to get professional help with the drywall installation. I expected that we might have trouble finding a contractor, but Alan got back to us immediately. Initially, he estimated that it would be about three weeks before he could start the job, but then he called back the next day to say that if we could get the paperwork done, he could have a team available in just a couple of days. I think I initially contacted him on Monday, and the team started work on Thursday. They were done a week later. It was a pleasure to work with them. They were friendly and professional. And the work they did is perfect! I'm really picky, but there's nothing to be picky about. Everything is straight, smooth, and crisp. They drywalled a sitting room, bedroom, walk-in closet, and bathroom. The whole area looks amazing! We just installed a floating floor this weekend, which can be a real PITB if things aren't straight, but we had no problems. At one point, we were joining the flooring sections between the sitting room, bedroom, and closet. All three pieces needed to join to a single row of flooring that connected them on one side. The tolerance has to be perfect, or the seams won't snap together. It was accurate to less than 1/16th of an inch. *That* is quality construction. On top of that, you can trust them. We were scheduled to pay for the job in three installments: one third when the contract was signed, another third when the taping was completed, and the final third when the job was done. Alan picked up the first payment the day the guys started work. Then he came by again on Day 5. It was obvious that the job was nearing completion. They just had to sand the skim coat (basically the detail work that makes everything look right) and clean up. I decided to just write a check for the full amount. Now, I know you're not supposed to pay for the job until it's completed--and I had been burned years ago when I did exactly that with a different contractor (who then never finished the job and proved to be unreachable), but it seemed like an unnecessary bother to drag Alan out to our house again in a couple of days to pick up the third payment. He assured me that his guys would be back the following day to finish the job and then the day after that to clean everything up. And he was as good as his word. The team did exactly what he said they would do. You can't go wrong with trustworthy, skilled, friendly, professional people like this. Thanks, Alan, and please thank the rest of the crew for us too. We truly enjoyed your help and expertise."

"My goal was to take a half bath remove two hallway closets to make a handicap bathroom on the main floor this was a very complicated job duck work moved on the main floor and reconfiguring the basement utility room"

"Fully remodeled 3bed 1 bath home into 3bed 1 and 1/2 bath. New roof, new HVAC unit. New kitchen and added a half bathroom to the main level. Also converted the basement into a 1bed, 1bath, full size w/d, kitchen etc. The remodel was a success. I am pleased with the outcome. Elite home is reliable, fair, and did great job on my renovation. I would definitely recommend them and use them again for my next project."

"We had a great experience with the Lux Renovations and Owens Corning team. The whole process was very easy from designing the space, selecting colors, and having a contract manager who organized the entire basement remodel including all the trades and inspections. We were sold on the Owens Corning materials for the basement and that they were engineered specifically for a basement space. Would highly recommend this team for your basement remodel needs."

"I feel fortunate to have come across Stephen and his team at Capstone Remodeling. They remodeled our basement and basement bathroom and the results look fantastic. I found Stephen and his on-site team to be trustworthy and easy to work with every step of the way. Every day I could see the progress they were making on our project and it looks like quality work. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Stephen at Capstone Remodeling again."

"My home needed more functional closet space in the master bedroom, and I wasn't sure how to make it work given the space restrictions. I met with a couple of contractors previously, but was most impressed with DiJulio Contracting. The owner, Scott, came out and walked me through some different options that I had never even considered beforehand. He helped me envision the space and also gave me valuable feedback as to the cost implications for each options. A few days later, they sent me over an estimate with a detailed sketch of the two options I liked best, along with estimates for each. It even included some imagery to help me imagine things more clearly. Their pricing was competitive and I decided to hire DiJulio Contracting as I felt most confident and comfortable with them. I couldn't have been more pleased with the end result. Their workers were all very courteous, punctual, and most importantly for me, cleaned up each and every day. I am so happy with my new closet and overall the process was very easy. I highly recommend Scott and his team at DiJulio Contracting."

"I would like to recommend Total Renovating for your basement remodeling needs. They were extremely responsive on estimates and getting the work quickly started. All inspections were arranged and handled in a timely manner. The crew did excellent quality work and the basement looks great. Total Renovating exceeded my expectations."

"Went very smoothly for a challenging 5 week total bathroom remodel. Gary helped us pick out items and coordinated quickly and efficiently with others. Very responsive and organized to a T!"

"I've had my share of renovation projects performed by people of various levels of experience, races, ages, ethnic and educational backgrounds. All of them had one thing in common: all these charming, decent, diligent, God-fearing etc contractors magically turned into evil creatures who would poison your life by not following your instructions, showing up late, making a huge mess, spoiling everything, and then disappear into the thin air soon after the deposit money change hands.
So in the beginning I was only cautiously optimistic about working with Israel Clavijo, although I was impressed my the level of his competence, punctuality, assertive yet very courteous manner. Little did I know that I was embarking on the most pleasing and carefree renovation experience of my life!
My big home had only two tiny coat closets which could not possibly house even a small part of my large family's outdoor clothes and shoes. Huge shoe piles in a middle of our elegant foyer, and coats, scarfs and hats hanging everywhere were the eyesore. I've decided to sacrifice part of my underutilized living room to build a large walk-in closet, and turn the existing closets by the entrance door into practical shoe closets. Israel didn't blinked at the idea of building the closet in the living room. Instead, he offered number of very valuable suggestions, did quick measurements and presented me with the proposal on a next day. After checking a couple of more highly recommended home improvement companies, I've decided to go with ICM not only because they were slightly more reasonable but also because I felt more confident working with them. I didn't regret my choice. I was given an honest time frame, which they were able to adhere to, although I kept adding new requests. Israel introduced his crew to me, they were punctual, hard working, neat, and very polite. They would start in the morning and finish in the evening; no long breaks, no mid-week days off, thank you very much. The results were stunning! Incredibly, design and execution of a new closet actually improved my living room's proportions! Israel and his crew diligently saved the wall moldings and matched the paint - my new closet looks very much like a part of the room. As for my new shoe closets, they are every inch as practical as they are pleasure to look at! Instead of expensive LED tape lights, Israel installed cute cabinet lights which served the purpose at the reduced cost. They installed a heavy chandelier in a room that never had a ceiling light - it took an expertise, finesse, and wiliness to satisfy the client. Before they started, they protected floors and furniture with plastic wrap and cardboard. After they finished their work, they cleaned up after themselves. When I asked for a couple of touch-ups, Israel had no problem doing so. I cannot finish my review without mentioning Wendy Clavijo, Israel's wife, office manager and his customer/company liaison. Very polite, very friendly, very diligent, she was always there to help. Everyone who comes to my home makes positive comments on my unusual yet charming clothes and shoes arrangements. I know that without Israel's professionalism and dedication I wouldn't have it. I'd like to express my gratitude to the whole ICM team.
