Trusted Basement Finish Contractor for Northern VA Homes
A basement is often the easiest place in a Northern Virginia home to gain real living space, as long as the work starts with an honest look at the space itself. RMA Remodeling & Handyman's LLC finishes unfinished basements and remodels existing ones for homeowners in Vienna, Herndon, Chantilly, Reston, Ashburn and Fairfax. Before any work, we assess the scope, check for moisture, and review the permit, engineering and code requirements that apply to your project.
Northern VA basements come with their own quirks: sump pumps that need to be worked around, low clearance under HVAC trunks and beams, and window openings that set what a room can be used for. We plan around the realities of your basement instead of pretending they don't exist. Sometimes that means telling you a half-bath makes more sense than a full bath, or that a support column can't move.

Basement bathrooms with an up-flush system (Saniflo) or concrete cut for gravity drains, depending on your layout. Custom wet bars with sinks, cabinetry and countertops.

Recessed lighting, dedicated circuits, smart switches, and AFCI/GFCI protection where required.
Finishes
LVP, tile or carpet flooring, paint, trim, and drop or drywall ceilings — we recommend options based on your budget and ceiling height.
What Determines the Price
Finishing a basement is priced by the square footage, the ceiling height and layout you're working with, whether you're adding a bathroom or an egress window, how much electrical and plumbing has to be run, the moisture conditions down there, and the permits and inspections your county requires. We walk the space and give you a free itemized estimate in writing.
- Scope of the work
- Size of the space
- Materials and finishes you choose
- Condition of what's already there
- Any plumbing or electrical changes
- Permits your county requires
