Don’t see yours? Ask us directly.

[Call (703) 261-9106](tel:+17032619106)

How much does it cost to finish a basement?

A 1,000 sq ft basement in Northern Virginia typically runs $100–$185 per square foot: about $75K+ for a basic open concept, $115K+ for a mid-range build with a bathroom and wet bar, and $175K+ for a custom suite.

Do I need an egress window for a basement bedroom?

Yes. A legal bedroom needs code-compliant egress. Expect $5,000–$15,000 including excavation and the window well.

How much does an addition or ADU cost?

Foundations, structure and site access vary too much for a flat rate, so we quote after a site visit. You’ll get an honest range at your free consultation.

Can an ADU earn rental income?

In much of Northern Virginia, yes. Zoning rules vary by county and town, and we help you plan around them from the start.

Do you handle permits?

Yes. Permits, inspections, ordering and trade scheduling are part of planning.

Is the work warrantied?

Yes. We’re licensed and insured, and our work carries a 2-year warranty.
