To me, our basement finishing was easy, nothing very extravagant or complicated, a Room, a bathroom, a wet bar, and walls. 99% of the people we dealt with were very professional and did a great job, but there is always that one that drives you nuts. The framers, the electricians, the finishers were all great. There were times I with that they would have simply asked a question about how we would like things, but that never happened, they just did it and assumed it was correct. Overall, they did a fantastic job, but need to communicate better.

Drywall work was quick and once paint was on, spots in corners and by window molding were not smooth. Great structural work of full wet bar, but cabinets were installed too close together not allowing adjoining cabinet doors to both be open at the same time. Cabinet handles not installed. Dust left all over inside of cabinets and drawers. Trash left in basement and in backyard after project managers final walkthrough. Railing installed but left unfinished (Hivex said it’s the homeowner’s responsibility to sand, stain, and seal handrails.

Issues with the dimmer lights - electrician came out to fix, but issues stil present. I was not allowed to install the LVP flooring before the baseboard trim leading to me causing damage to the baseboards. Additional cost incurred to repair/paint

Overall work was ok, but for the price paid, there were too many headaches and things I had to figure out on my own

Everything thus far has been great! A lot better than most contractors there were small issues here and there but when asked they fixed them within the next 5 business days

We had a wonderful experience with HIVEX from start to finish. We took our time before deciding to move ahead with our basement finishing project, and HIVEX did a fantastic job of never pushing the project on us but also helping to answer all of our questions. We are so glad we ended up moving forward with them, because our basement looks fantastic.

Highly recommend this business. Outstanding work!! They set the standard for basement finishing. The project manager was attentive, responsive, and provided helpful design ideas.

Hivex has been great to work with and has made the process seamless

This company is very professional and attentive to detail when it comes to what the customer wants. John Gaskill is by far the most professional and best project manager that I have come across. He will always keep you updated on your project and ensure if anything changes he will NEVER forget anything you may have mentioned to him on your wants. If they can do it he will make it happen. They are up for any challenge! If I had another basement I would definitely get HIVEX to finish it for me! We are very proud of the teamwork that they bring to the table and all workers are nice and courteous and don’t get upset when we ask questions. Yes go with HIVEX ALL DAY EVERYDAY!

Working with HIVEX to finish the basement in my new home was a wonderful experience. They explained the process upfront and were very well organized in the communications and delivering on the construction milestones. They finished the basement in 5 weeks, which was ahead of the promised timeframe. The work was completed with quality and excellent workmanship. Bob, my project manager, was great at answering questions, making any adjustments, and communicating with me. I'm very happy that I found HIVEX in the Fredericksburg area and would highly recommend them to others.

Communication/Response Time

Communication/Response Time - The project manager John always kept me informed of any changes and responded to my concerns.

Original layout for framing was drawn on the floor and then framed the same day. I was under the impression we would have a day or 2 to review the layout before framing. I was away for the morning and part of the afternoon, upon returning found one wall in the wrong place, it was corrected. I missed another wall that was 1 foot off. Had I had a day or 2 to review this would not have happened. Plumber did a less than a great job installing the sink. Workers were very helpful in making adjustments and explaining different procedures. Electrician and manager were especially helpful and informative.
