What’s Included in Your Basement Renovation

Every trade, every detail, managed by one project manager from estimate through final walkthrough.

Framing & Walls

Steel or wood stud framing, insulation, vapor barriers, and egress windows where required. We design the layout before a single nail goes in.

Electrical

Recessed lighting, outlets, USB ports, panel upgrades, and dedicated circuits for home theater or gym equipment. All licensed and inspected.

Plumbing (Bathrooms & Bars)

Full bathroom additions, half baths, wet bars, and utility sinks. We handle drain rough-in, supply lines, and all fixture installation.

Flooring

Luxury vinyl plank (LVP), engineered hardwood, tile, and carpet. All moisture-appropriate for below-grade installation.

Drywall, Paint & Trim

Full drywall hang, tape, mud, and paint. Baseboards, door casings, and built-in shelving to make the space feel finished, not improvised.

Home Theater & Entertainment

Acoustic treatments, projector niches, speaker prewiring, and media center built-ins designed for the space.

Home Gym

Rubber flooring, mirror walls, ventilation improvements, and dedicated electrical for equipment. Purpose-built, not just a room with weights.

Guest Suites

Legal egress windows, full bathrooms, closets, and comfortable finishes that make guests feel like they’re in a hotel room, not a basement.

Two Ways We Work With Homeowners

Whether you are upgrading your home or getting it ready to sell, MHP has a path built for you.

Upgrading Your Home

Get the square footage you’re already paying for.

A finished basement can add a guest suite, a home office, a playroom, or a gym — without adding square footage to your home’s footprint. It’s often the highest-value project in terms of livable space added per dollar spent. Fixed-price estimate, one contract, one project manager.

Pre-List Renovation

Finished basements expand your buyer pool.

An unfinished basement is listed as square footage “not included” — a finished one is a selling feature. We can finish your basement before listing with no money out of pocket and you pay from your proceeds at closing. We’ll tell you exactly what scope makes sense for your price point and neighborhood.

Basement Renovation FAQ
How much does basement finishing cost in Northern Virginia?
Cost depends on scope, finish level, and whether you’re adding a bathroom, bar, or entertainment space. See our pricing section above for typical ranges. We provide a detailed line-item estimate before any work starts.
How long does basement finishing take?
Timeline depends on scope — a basic open-plan finish is the quickest, a premium build-out with bathroom and entertainment space takes longer. Your schedule is locked in during our Pre-Construction phase before work begins.
Can you add a full bathroom to my basement?
Yes. We handle full bathroom additions including drain rough-in, plumbing, tile, vanities, and fixtures. Basement bathrooms sometimes require a sewage ejector pump — we assess this during the estimate phase and include it in your scope if needed.
Do you handle permits for basement finishing?
Yes. We handle all permitting and inspections across Fairfax, Arlington, Alexandria, Prince William, Loudoun, Montgomery County MD, and Washington DC. Permit costs are included in your estimate.
What about moisture and waterproofing?
We assess moisture conditions during the estimate phase. Existing waterproofing issues must be resolved before framing begins. We use moisture-appropriate materials throughout — vapor barriers, moisture-resistant drywall, and waterproof flooring.
Can I use my basement as a legal rental unit?
In some jurisdictions, yes — but requirements are specific (egress windows, separate entrance, fire separation, etc.). We can build to these specs, but verify zoning with your local jurisdiction first. We’re happy to advise during the estimate phase.
