★ Serving Northern Virginia
A finished basement is the cheapest square footage you will ever add, because the walls and roof are already there. Custom Painting & Remodeling finishes basements across Northern Virginia, from an open rec room to a full suite with a bedroom and bath, built dry, warm, and up to code so the space actually lives like the rest of your home.
What we build
- Full basement finishing with framing, insulation, drywall, flooring, and trim.
- Egress windows and exits that make a basement bedroom legal and safe.
- Moisture control including drainage, vapor barriers, and sump work so the space stays dry.
- In-law and guest suites with a bedroom, bathroom, and sometimes a kitchenette.
- Rec rooms, home theaters, gyms, and offices wired and lit for how you will use them.
What it costs in Northern Virginia
Cost depends on scope, ceiling height, and whether you are adding a bathroom or egress. As a local guide, a basement remodel in Northern Virginia generally runs about $35,000 to $80,000, with a simple open finish on the lower end and a full suite with a bathroom, wet bar, and egress window on the higher end. Adding plumbing, cutting an egress well, or correcting moisture issues moves the number. After we see your basement we give you a fixed, itemized quote, so the price is set before demolition.
How it works
- Free in-home consultation and measurements, with a clear estimate.
- Design and selections, where we lock the layout, egress, and finishes.
- Fixed written proposal, so the price is set before demolition.
- Permitting and construction, managed by one accountable team.
- Walkthrough and warranty once every detail is right.
Permits
Finishing a basement requires a permit from your local Northern Virginia building department, and any bedroom needs a compliant egress window or door. We prepare the drawings, pull the permits, and manage framing, electrical, plumbing, and final inspections, so your renovation is safe and legal.
