Reclaim Every Square Foot Beneath Your Feet

Your unfinished basement has probably become a catch-all for boxes and holiday decorations. And upstairs, everyone’s competing for the same rooms.

A quiet workspace, somewhere the kids can be loud, or a guest room that isn’t also a storage area is all possible with the space you already have.

At Integrity Design + Build, we take your overlooked basement and fully transform it with framing, insulation, electrical, plumbing, and custom finishes.

At the end, you’re not just gaining square footage. You’re gaining a space your family will use every single day.

Basement Remodeling FAQs

How much does a basement remodel cost in Charlottesville?

Most basement remodels range from $80,000 to $150,000. Standard finishes with existing rough-in plumbing typically come in around $80,000 to $95,000, while custom builds with wet bars and home gyms run higher. Reach out, and we’ll give you an accurate estimate for your specific space.

Do you handle permits and inspections?

Yes, we manage every permit and inspection as part of the project. As a Class A licensed contractor in Virginia, we know exactly what’s required and take care of it all on your behalf. We keep everything moving smoothly for you.

Do you offer a warranty on basement remodels?

Yes. Structural components come backed with a 15-year warranty, and finishes carry a 3-year warranty. Beyond the fine print, owner John personally stands behind every project. If something isn’t right, we’ll fix it. Reach out anytime, and we’ll be happy to answer your warranty questions.

How long does a basement remodel take?

Most basement projects take 6 to 10 weeks from start to finish. Basic finishes wrap up in about 8 weeks, while complex builds with custom features can take up to 14 weeks. We’ll walk you through a clear schedule upfront.

What kinds of basement spaces can you build?

We’ve finished everything from simple open living areas to fully custom basements featuring home theaters, wine cellars, wet bars, home gyms, and guest suites with full bathrooms. If you have a vision, bring it to us and we’ll tell you exactly how to make it a reality.

My basement doesn't have rough-in plumbing. Can you still add a bathroom?

Absolutely. We can install new rough-in plumbing from scratch, but it does affect the project investment. Our team will explain exactly what’s involved and what it costs before work begins, so you can make the right decision for your budget.

Our Work, In Charlottesville Homeowners’ Own Words

Philip Smith

Rated 5 out of 5

We extensively refinished and remodeled a house with Integrity. […]

The crew at Integrity thought things through, offered us multiple options, and came up with some ingenious solutions to several issues.

The communication along the way was clear, the work progressed as planned, and the finished work looked great and has held up very well (the work is now 2 years old).

We were very happy with Integrity, and would use them again.
