We are absolutely thrilled with the work HIVEX did to transform our unfinished basement into a beautiful and inviting living space. From the very beginning, the entire team was professional, creative, and responsive. Jess and Bob were especially fantastic—they took the time to really understand our vision and worked closely with us to refine and enhance it. They brought fresh ideas to the table and helped us design a unique space tailored to our lifestyle.
The end result far exceeded our expectations. We now have an amazing entertainment area that’s perfect for hosting friends and family, as well as fun, kid-friendly spaces that our nieces love. On top of that, they added a spacious bedroom, a modern full bathroom, and even a home gym—all seamlessly integrated and beautifully finished.
Throughout every stage of the project, from design to final touches, the crew’s workmanship and attention to detail were outstanding. They stayed on or ahead of schedule and communicated clearly every step of the way. It’s clear they take pride in their work, and it shows in the final product.
We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and highly recommend HIVEX to anyone looking to finish or renovate their basement. They truly turned our vision into reality!

We recently completed a full basement finishing with HIVEX. From initial contact through all stages of work and right on through the completion of the project, their service was incredible and exactly as promised. They communicated constantly about the project and the very few concerns we had were addressed quickly and efficiently. We can’t recommend HIVEX strongly enough! Lastly, but significantly, they competed the work more quickly than they originally estimated.

I couldn’t be happier with the way my basement turned out! From start to finish, the team was professional and attentive. They transformed my unfinished space into a warm, inviting area that I will be using on a regular. The highlight is definitely the custom bar which is the centerpiece of the entire basement. The recommendation to use the remaining butcher block from the bar top to make shelves was an excellent idea that turned out beautifully. Everything was completed on time and within budget, with great communication throughout the process. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire them again for future projects!

We recently hired HIVEX for a complete build-out of our basement, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, the team was professional, courteous, and extremely easy to work with. They originally quoted us a 6-8 week timeline, but impressively finished the project in just 4 weeks.

Communication was excellent throughout the process—they kept us updated every step of the way and were always available to answer our questions. The crew was punctual, cleaned up after themselves daily, and showed great respect for our home.

Overall, we highly recommend HIVEX to anyone looking for quality workmanship and a stress-free renovation experience. Thank you for transforming our basement into a beautiful new space!

Just had my basement finished by HIVEX and the whole experience went really smoothly. The crew showed up on time, kept everything clean, and stayed on top of the details. They handled the whole process without any headaches—super organized and easy to work with. The end result looks great and everything turned out how I hoped. If you’re thinking about finishing your basement and want a team that knows what they’re doing, definitely give HIVEX a look.

HIVEX did an outstanding job with my basement! HIVEX demonstrated the ability to make intent-based decisions, completing a majority of the work while I was overseas. I remain incredibly impressed by their flexibility, professionalism, and judgment.

Our Amazing Experience with HIVEX Construction

We hired the wonderful team at HIVEX to finish the basement of our c. 1950 brick house. Working with them was a unicorn/trifecta of high quality, on-time delivery, and reasonable pricing. We actually *loved* the process—something we have never said before about a renovation project.

Services Provided
We added a laundry room, home office, rec room, household management space, and a guest suite with full bath and wet bar. HIVEX transformed our under-utilized basement footprint into a whole third of a house more for us. It's fresh, clean, and I feel like this was the greatest investment we could have made so far.

What Made Our Experience Exceptional
HIVEX is an AMAZING company. Charlottesville is a new expansion for them after decades of success in other parts of VA. We initially found out about them from a flyer in our mailbox. I cold-called them and from the very first conversation, to the meeting with owner/designer Chris at our home, to working with our dedicated project manager John and the awesome crew, it was incredible.
The process with them allows for just the right amount of customization. We didn't really want to have to make a million decisions or hire an architect. We just wanted a nice, fresh basement, done properly to match the rest of the house's look/feel. I feel like we got that and so much more. A true design/build experience without having to take on the burden of project managing, slow work or the displacement aspect.

Examples of Going Above and Beyond
They care about details and have been doing this so long they know basements through and through. They also work with the city to ensure everything is to code, approved and go above and beyond to ensure the quality of their product. The final carpentry and trim work were especially beautiful—and I was able to add a few built-in bookcases, open shelving, and other special details.
John and Chris worked with a really tall order from us for our usage needs (wishlist, various spaces) and a challenging window request, and they absolutely solved every problem seamlessly.

Quality of Workmanship and Professionalism
HIVEX employs their crews so everything is under one roof (no pun intended ;-)... And a lot of the team has been with the company for decades. I noticed that because of this the work was done quickly, with lots of manpower, expertly—tight and clean, and on time. They are pros and hire seasoned and experienced folks.
The whole team works really hard to create solid, quality basements. They don't cut corners (this from a very Type A client). The end results have exceeded our expectations.

Timeline and Budget Adherence
They never strayed from the timeline and the project actually wrapped up when they said it would—hence the unicorn comment! As for budget: the price quoted and signed off on was the price we paid. No surprises or mysteries. I loved that!

Communication Throughout the Project
The estimating/design phase was really impressive. Chris was able to come up with 3 smart layouts for us and patiently worked with me to narrow and refine to land on one that addressed all of our needs.
We always knew exactly what was going on any given day and they are proactive and thorough! John is an amazing manager, attentive listener, and kind and patient guide. He's also been at this a long time so nothing seemed to phase him and we always felt in-the-know. (I should also add he and his wife welcomed their new baby son while our project was wrapping up and that did not affect our project at all. We were taken care of during his time away and never felt out of the loop.) I also had such a nice time chatting with the crew members here and there. Everyone was so nice. The carpenters were really cool and so talented!

Final Thoughts
I really can't say enough about how great it was to work with this company.

I've already told them their next venture should be to do this genius system with unfinished attics ;-) Pretty please, HIVEX!?

Hivex was excellent to work with through a 6 week process. The overall quality of work exceeded our expectations. We are very pleased with the overall process and highly recommend Hivex!!!

They haven't done any work for me and based on their disrespect for neighboring properties- I probably would never use them.
They spend more time on cigarette breaks and smoke right in front of the other neighbor's house. They park in front of the neighboring houses and walk across their lawn when all then need to do is face their truck the other way to unload materials. They need to work on the big picture- rather than just getting the job done with as little effort as possible. Their work might be great but thus far- not impressed.

HIVEX made the project very simple and easy to get done. They have a very refined process which made decisions and costs very easy to work through. They even offered advice that made me consider better options from what I had initially planned. I'm constantly getting compliments on the new basement!

We had a great experience with Hivex, from the initial consultation and planning for the renovation through every step of the process. The communication through the project manager was excellent, and each stage of the process proceeded as scheduled, with minimal delays. Team members came out during snow and on weekends if needed to complete their work so that the next stage could proceed on time. With dedicated teams for framing, sheet-rock, plumbing, electrical and painting, the work was very high quality. I'd recommend them without any hesitation to anyone considering a basement renovation.

HIVEX is in the middle of our basement finishing job but it has been a dream come true from the beginning. Chris put in extra work to make the floor plan just right and consulted with us several times to be sure we had what we wanted. The work has gone exactly as advertised and planned. No surprises, no big delays, excellent communication with Nate, our site manager. Every day we are thrilled to see the progress.

There's many great things I can say about this company but I would personally like to shoutout Chris. From beginning to end he ran a state of the art project. Professionalism was a top priority as well as thoroughness of the job and I must say that everything Chris and company did from installing the wet bar, extra bedroom, and bathroom was just chef's kiss work. They even took the time to polish and dust off my NBA JAM arcade game so I could resume playing on it. That meant a hell of a lot to me. I plan to share some pictures and videos at a later time but I had to put the word out there that HYVEX was a Godsend due to their financing options. That is likely gonna make them the biggest basement finishing company in Central/Northern Virginia. I'm just waiting for an opportunity to do a testimonial video. So CHRIS, if you are reading this, I would like to make that happen as soon as possible!!!

We made the decsion to hire Hivex to finish our basement and couldn't be happier. The process was seamless and we recieved thourough and timely updates on the status of the project. The project manager we worked with, Bob, had great communication and answered all our questions in a timely manner. The cherry on top was that their price came in below the other contractors we'd reached out to. If you're looking for a company to do your basement, have them come give you a free quote. You'll be sold!

We feel fortunate to have had HIVEX finish our basement. We found them to be well organized, friendly, competent and trustworthy; and we couldn't be happier with the finished product. Just as importantly, we were really impressed with how the work was done. It was obvious to us that HIVEX has worked hard to create an impeccable process. From the start, Jess made an impression on us when providing an estimate for the project. She patiently helped us decide what we wanted our basement to look like and took pains to provide a transparent and comprehensive explanation of the scope work - including the floor plan and the agreement – to ensure that there were no misunderstandings or hidden costs. Once construction started, our knowledgeable and friendly project manager, Bob, took the time to explain things, offer suggestions, and remain immediately available to us if we had any questions or concerns. Bob even had his team members put up a temporary fence in our backyard to ensure that our dog wouldn’t get out when HIVEX team members accessed our basement walkout entry. All members of the HIVEX team and subcontractors were hardworking, detail-oriented, and respectful of our home, ensuring a smooth process from start to finish. The entire project was completed in 6 weeks and every detail/request and expectation was met. We truly appreciated this level of professionalism, knowhow, and responsiveness and would highly recommend HIVEX to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled basement contractor to finish their basement! Thank you!!!!!!

Highly recommend!
We hired HIVEX to finish our basement and could not be happier with the end product. John and Benny were professional and frequently communicated with us throughout the project. Their team quickly completed each stage of work while maintaining quality craftsmanship. They provided the best quote and completed the project earlier than anticipated.

I could not be more grateful for the experience I had working with Hivex. It was a long road for us, getting to a place where we were able to invest in finishing our basement, and after being scammed by a roofer shortly beforehand, we were incredibly wary of working with any construction again. But Chris and his team at Hivex quickly made our fears subside.
Not only did Chris take the time to patiently map out a potential layout with my husband, he was happy to make modifications to adjust to our budget, and work on our project in pieces to make it work for us. They were able to quickly begin our project, and we were impressed on a daily basis on how quickly and efficiently his teams came in and did their work. The only holdup during their time working with us was the permit process with the county, but they timed all that perfectly that it didn’t create an issue at all.
What impressed me the most was the company’s professionalism and dedication to upstanding results and their character. Whenever something went awry, they didn’t just make it right - they went above and beyond to make it even better than it would have been. As a business owner myself, that shows me a level of integrity that isn’t commonly found, especially in my experience of the construction business.
I am so excited to hire them again to complete the second half of our basement, and wish that they did other projects around the house because I would hire them in a heartbeat for any other project.

Hivex completely transformed our basement into a lovely library and a suite for entertaining. The company was so professionally run, even working ahead of schedule, prep and clean up was immaculate. Any pick up matters at the end of the job were handled quickly and expertly. My favorite competency: Hivex worked creatively to find solutions for my design hopes and making them a reality.

We love our new finished basement. Very professional company. They communicated everything with us. We told them our ideas and they brought it to life. The timeframe of the whole project was reasonable and the crew stayed on time or even were ahead of the schedule. I would 100% recommend this company if you want to finish your basement.

When I was taking bids for finishing my basement I mentioned to another contractor I was waiting on another estimate to come by as well, he asked if it was HIVEX and I was like yeah actually it is, he never called me back. Now I know why. The finished project looked amazing. We are extremely happy with the work they did. Great attention to detail, Professional. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a remodel/finished basement. They went the extra step that others would not have done. They put up a temporary fence to keep my dogs safe from getting out of the yard. They moved everything out of the basement for me, even taking half of it to the dump. Who else would do that? Bob the project manager was always responsive, helpful and a good person. They are a family owned local company who does great work.

Competitive pricing, clear and prompt communication every step of the way, great suggestions to guide our choices, outstanding quality and timely completion for our basement. Staff could not have been more helpful, going the extra mile to ensure everything was satisfactory and adjusting when needed. Thank you Chris, Raoul, Dustin and your teams. We are super happy with our new basement, and highly recommend HIVEX for basement finishing!!

After receiving 3 estimates to finish the remaining 400 sq. feet of our basement, we couldn't be happier with the selection of HIVEX and the work Chris McNally and his crews accomplished in the space. While the house is 'new' construction (2-years old), this space was left as storage and general purpose, as well as the site of all central utilities: HVAC, water/well, water treatment and on-demand water heating. All of these areas had to be encapsulated and accessible. HIVEX came in under our estimate and under the time allotted to perform the work with strict attention to detail and a modern approach to on-site design that showed us what to expect up-front. Each crew (framing, drywall, electrical, plumbing, finish carpentry, painting and flooring) was meticulous in execution of the necessary phases leading to proper code compliance and our local inspections important for our insurance policy. We want to thank Chris, Matt, Raoul, and the others for helping make the space what we had finally envisioned!!

HIVEX did a wonderful job finishing our basement. Expectations and schedule were well understood at the beginning of the process. Communication was well maintained during the entire process. Any issues were resolved quickly and effectively. The overall craftmanship and professionalism of both the crew and the manager was top notch and we would recommend to anyone planning to finish a basement to use HIVEX.

We had our basement finished by Hivex in 2020, right at the beginning of covid. We had an amazing team who worked diligently despite being in a global pandemic. They used the degree window to enter and leave our home and wore masks if we did have to have face to face contact. We had a guest room, bathroom, kitchenette, play space and built in desk area. We love our new space and use it daily. It's been a great space when we host family too. Thank you Hivex!

Excellent Company and outstanding quality. We had our basement finished about 4 years ago and are still extremely happy and satisfied with the overall quality and look. Every member of the staff was extremely helpful and easily accessible throughout the process. As mentioned before, its been about 4 years since completion and they still follow up annually to make sure we are doing well and there are no issues.

HIVEX recently finished parts of my basement, adding a bedroom, living space and a full bath. I am extremely pleased with the results!

The project manager was immediately available to answer any questions I had and kept me informed every step of the way. Highly recommended!

HIVEX and Scott Alicie were great to work with. From the beginning steps with the quote, the design walk through and constant communication we were always happy working with HIVEX. This team is up front with everything and were always willing to answer questions when we asked. They even built us a custom door to go into our unfinished area of the basement.

We highly recommend Hivex basement. Figuring out how to finish our basement was very overwhelming for us. We were so glad that we chose Hivex. The Hivex team is very professional, amenable, and responsive to our needs. They handled everything from the quote, permits, construction, county inspection, etc. The quality of work the Hivex team did throughout this made this daunting project from the very start a smooth and seamless process. When designing a basement they will be always changes, special shout-out to John Gaskill, Hivex project manager, he guided us through the design, all the changes, recommendations, and went over and above in leading to give us a finished basement that we truly a very happy with. All this within two months from start to finish.

We had been thinking for years about finishing our basement, and with the expected costs, I thought I could do it myself.... two years later, and only 1/3 framed in, it was evident I was never going to be able to complete the job. We had a neighbor suggest Hivex, we contacted them and they were happy to provide a quote. The entire quoting process was very pleasant, easy and simple. Finance options were laid out with great rates and terms. We got 2 other quotes, but felt much more confident in the Hivex information provided. Did the research into the company and was also pleasantly surprised at the reviews and BBB rating. We signed the contract in Dec '22, had a start date Jan 29, 2024 and within a few weeks, our basement was just about finished! We were able to make some adjustments along the way (tiled shower, network locations, and lighting) without any hassle. The entre project schedule was fed to us through email and text, so we knew what to expect. Each crew member was polite and accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed the process from start to completion! Invest in your home, your comfort and peace of mind. Trust Hivex to provide the quality craftmanship for your home.

Jess and Lena were professional, completed measurements, and provided a written quote on the spot. They were so helpful throughout the entire process and answered all of our questions. Bob was also great, he communicated expectations weekly, was professional, took extra care putting up a dog fence, and was on time. My basement was compete AHEAD of schedule and it's BEAUTIFUL!

From Day 1, my experience with Hivex was fantastic. They provided me with an honest and transparent quote, with no hidden charges or surprises. They take their professionalism and professional standards very seriously, which impressed me from the start, so I was convinced they were the right choice for me. The project itself was completed exactly as planned, with absolutely no issues (the only hiccups were with Lowes!) and amazing communication from my awesome project manager every step of the way. I had heard so many horror stories of bad home improvement projects, I was very wary of taking this on, but Hivex made it such a stress free experience. I know it was the best choice for my own peace of mind, and I'm so happy with how the basement turned out. Thank you, Hivex team!

Hivex finished our basement over a year ago. I waited to review to see if any issues came up. Happy to report that I'm still 100% satisfied with the work and the service could not have been any better. Finding a contractor in Northern Virginia that does the work well, on time, and is communicative is like finding a unicorn. Hivex proved that they do exist!

Our experience with HIVEX Basement Finishing Co. was simply amazing. From the first call, receiving the estimate and seeing our dream of finishing the space come to life. They held true to everything we wanted and agreed upon. Our General Contract John Gaskill is the BEST! He made sure that every detail of the project happened without details and as we hoped for. He is professional and has the best personality. The entire team at HIVEX made our experience great!

We contacted Hivex based on a neighbor’s referral and our experience with them was excellent. We were given detailed plans on what to expect during the basement finishing process and they checked in with us along the way. Any changes we requested were accommodated easily and they took the time to address any of our questions or concerns. It was a big investment and project for us and they made it easy! We are so happy with our new space!

From start to finish the folks at Hivex did an excellent job and I couldn't be happier. I was especially happy with Bob Salo, our project manager, who I interacted with the most at the company by far. Bob always kept me in the loop on how the project was progressing and promptly responded to a large change request (running high capacity wires from the electrical panel) as well as small extra requests at no charge (adding additional framing to support a chin up bar in the exercise room, removing 8 mm from the bottom of the exercise door trim which he did himself on the spot). After Hivex finished the basement and I had it painted and carpet installed I wasn't able to figure out how to pull TV cable/wire through the cord-hider wall plate since there was insulation in the wall. So I called Bob who quickly came over and was able to pull the cable through the wall using a specially designed fish stick. All of these extras were very much appreciated. I highly recommend Hivex if you are planning on finishing your basement.

We recently used Hivex for a basement remodel and are very satisfied with the work. The team communicated with us well and was able to get a "low ceiling height" amendment from our county making everything work for our vertically challenging space.

Hivex is the kind of company that plans to finish your basement to a high standard of quality, but then finishes it to a higher standard of quality with extra time that they use make your bed, do your laundry, and take your mom out for a classy dinner. Not literally of course, but it sure feels that way. I have never worked with a more professional, flexible, accommodating, and punctual bunch of people. This family owned company pulls a chair up to their table for you when they start a job. They make you feel seen, loved, and most of all they produce high quality work, full stop. They are worth every penny and more not just for what they do, but for who they are. Love you Hivex, come back any time.

My husband and I were eager and excited when we decided to finish our basement. We knew it was going to be a big decision on who we used. After reaching out to a few companies we chose Hivex, they came highly recommended and were super professional during our first meeting. Hivex walked us step by step through the whole process and before we knew it we had picked out every little detail we wanted for our space. Once we set our schedule Hivex followed through and their team did AMAZING work. If we had any questions or concerns they were always quick to address them. I couldn’t be more thankful of that. The crew was amazing and respected our upstair space! The only thing that delayed our project was the cabinet manufacturing and that can’t be helped. We are very grateful we used Hivex and will recommend them to anyone who will listen. These guys know what they are doing and have perfected the best process along the way!! Thanks again Hivex!

HIVEX was able support our creative idea of a full entertainment room, gym and pet cave which is usually done in separate rooms and larger footprints. We are very pleased with the layout, lighting and price point.

AWESOME AWESOME Job throughout the whole process of planning and finishing out our basement. John was our Project Manager and was a pleasure to work with each day through all the phases. He always went above and beyond for our request and answered all our questions and concerns. HIVEX team is hands down the best organized and professional company in the basement finishing industry here in the Fredericksburg area. We know without a doubt we made the right choice hiring HIVEX to bring our basement ideas to reality. Thank You!

We enlisted Hivex Basement Finishing Co. to finish the basement of our single family home approximately 4 years ago. From start to finish, the planning and executing process contained clear and professional communication while also providing realistic expectations. Both my husband and I found each employee, contractor, and project manager to be professional, and eager to receive feedback or discuss any questions we had with the build. We appreciate Hivex for what they were able to provide - level of quality, interactions & quick turnaround - for our family at a time where we required the use of that space.

It seemed our entire neighborhood had basements remodeled by Hivex, so when it was time to do ours it was clear where we had to go. Hivex did not disappoint. The project was finished exactly in the stated timeframe and the entire team was professional and courteous. Highly recommend!

They finished my basement 4 years ago. When I called recently to ask about cracks in my upstairs bedroom wall possibly being caused by the jack hammering that they had done, they explained that they didn’t think that was the cause. They came out and repaired the drywall anyway.

Hivex took my unfinished basement and made a beautiful living space. Relocated the A/C ductwork. Installed a large tiled bathroom, a wet bar. Ran plumbing, electrical, framing, and drywall. They took care of everything. They were excellent to work with. I highly recommend them.

Amazing to work with, I was shocked how clean they left the project when they would leave for the day. Company sends thank you gifts from time to time. Seem to be very family oriented as a company, I wish they did more then basements because I would use them for every project I can dream up.

I would definitely recommend HIVEX to anyone who's looking for a basement remodeling!! Thanks for providing me with a great basement (my own mancave).

HIVEX is truly an awesome company to work with. They are very responsive, extremely professional, very flexible and super easy to work with. The only possible downside is they are not turnkey. They do not install flooring or paint. But that was not an issue for me as I saved thousands by painting my self and have a good flooring company. I cannot speak more highly of HIVEX and would use them again.

HIVEX came into my basement and helped me think outside the box and gave me more ideas to consider when finishing my basement. We ended up using one of their ideas and I couldn't be happier. They were on time every time they said they would be to my home. They treated this project as if they were finishing their own basement. I can't say enough about the professionalism and dedication to customer service HIVEX displayed during this process. They are a 6 out of 5.

To hire a roofing contractor, start by researching local companies with good reviews and proper licensing. Request quotes from multiple contractors, verify their insurance and certifications, and ask for references. Always ensure you get a written contract that outlines the scope of work, timeline, and payment terms.

4. How to check if a roofing company is legit?
+-

Check if a roofing company is legit by verifying their business license, insurance, and local certifications. Look for memberships in professional associations, read customer reviews, and ask for recent project references. A legitimate company will be transparent and provide all documentation upon request.

5. How to choose a roofing company?
+-

When choosing a roofing company, consider their experience, customer reviews, warranty offerings, and quality of materials. Make sure they provide clear communication, detailed estimates, and a solid portfolio of completed projects. Local expertise is also a major advantage for understanding regional roofing needs.

6. How do you know if your roofing contractor is ripping you off?
+-

Warning signs that your roofing contractor might be ripping you off include vague contracts, pressure to pay large upfront deposits, lack of proper documentation, and unexplained price increases. Always ask for itemized estimates and written guarantees, and avoid contractors who avoid answering your questions directly.
