Why homeowners pick Vision Custom
The most common basement remodel complaints in Northern Virginia come down to the same three things: no clear scope, vanishing project managers, and finish work that fails inspection. We fix all three before demo day. You'll have a fixed-price contract, a dedicated project manager who answers texts, and an in-house crew — not a rotating cast of day-labor subs.

FAQs
How much does it cost to finish a basement in Northern Virginia?
Basic open finishes start around $45K. Finished basements with a full bathroom run $70K–$110K. In-law suites with a kitchenette and luxury basements with theaters or bars run $140K+. NOVA permit and labor costs run higher than national calculators suggest.
How long does a basement remodel take?
Open finishes wrap in 6–8 weeks. With a bathroom, plan on 8–12 weeks. In-law suites and luxury builds run 12–20 weeks. Permits add 3–4 weeks before demo.
Do I need a permit to finish my basement?
Yes in every NOVA jurisdiction. Framing, electrical, plumbing, and egress windows all require permits. Adding a bedroom requires a code-compliant egress window — we cut these into the foundation routinely.
What about water in my basement?
We always inspect for moisture before framing. If you have any history of water, we install interior drain tile, upgrade the sump, and seal foundation cracks before insulation goes up. Skipping this step is the #1 cause of basement remodel failures.
Can I add a bathroom to my basement?
Yes. If you have a rough-in below the slab, it's straightforward. If not, we use up-flush systems (Saniflo or Liberty) — no slab cutting required. Adds $12K–$20K to the budget either way.
Are you licensed and insured?
Active Virginia Class A contractor license and $2M general liability. Certificates available on request before contract signing.

“I live in Fairfax and my neighbor recommended them for my basement remodel. The whole process has been great. They finished yesterday and I honestly couldn't be happier with the result. Great price.”
