"Jerred contacted me and scheduled the work after I made the initial call to him. Arrived promptly and completed the work in a timely manner. The quality of the work is excellent as well as the costs associated with the repairs being very reasonable. We will definitely call on Cantrell Construction again for other repair and building needs. <br />"

"Definitely 5 stars! Don Thomas Construction is wonderful! We were moving from Georgia and bought an older home in Athens that needed some renovations. We were on a time crunch and only had 8 weeks to complete the renovations. He started the renovations the Monday after we closed on the house. I had a long list of changes: replace the old shower with a bigger one which involved moving some plumbing, remove the jetted tub and replace it with a soaker tub, replace all the old tile in the bathroom with new tile, replace 2 toilets, remove two pillars in the living room, paint the entire interior - walls, ceiling, doors & trim, and replace the kitchen tile with hardwood. Also, we wanted the detached garage sheet rocked and insulated, an air conditioner/heating unit installed, pull down stairs in both garages replaced, and a separate storage room built in the detached garage. But then I started adding more items. I decided the kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanity, and countertops needed to be replaced too as well as the tile around the fireplace. We also added a tank-less water heater. Mr Thomas knew a cabinet maker who could make the cabinets and keep me on schedule. When the pillars were removed, he knew where to get the hardwood type to make the repairs for the missing hardwood under the pillars. His painting sub-contractor and his electrician were fantastic. Needless to say, the renovations were finished on time for our furniture to be delivered."

"We used them for two jobs. The first was converting our garage into an extra room. We had a tight schedule, but they finished the job on time. The second job was our leaking chimney. They built a frame around the chimney, sealed it, and wrapped in vinyl. We have several more projects planned and will be calling them!"

"Justin is an excellent home improvement contractor. Exceptional in every way - quality of work, price, honest, shows up as promised, and completed the work to a standard beyond our expectation. I have finally found the contractor that I will use for all my needed home repairs. He is very easy to work with, actually pointed out and took care of some other small problems that needed repair, and listened to any concerns we had. I've already got him scheduled for additional work later this Fall. I highly recommend Complete Home Improvements - this is a quality firm."

"After two other companies failed to properly diagnose the problem I called Bobby Terry. The Technician did a complete check of the unit and working with the Trane field service rep he was able to determine that the compressor was not working properly. The first company said that the unit was working as designed. The second company replaced the expansion valve twice and claimed that the problem was solved. Bobby Terry worked directly with Trane to get the repairs done under warranty at the end of the warranty period. Communication from all of the Bobby Terry members was excellent. They were prompt for appointments and kept me informed of progress until the unit was repaired."

"Two day job, in and out.  Work done professionally.  Backhoe operator was amazing, like a surgeon.  Pipework and hookup went in easy.  Needed some concrete work afterwards and they set me up with another vendor that did a great job. <br />"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Brownsboro, AL

Finishing a basement turns unused square footage into livable space and returns up to 70% of what you spend when you sell your home. Beyond that resale boost, you gain a playroom, home office, or guest suite you can start enjoying right away. That mix of daily comfort and solid return on investment (ROI) makes basement finishing one of the smartest upgrades you can tackle.

In some parts of the country—especially lots on swamps, high water tables, or other wetlands—local codes prohibit basements. Saturated soil puts constant pressure on foundation walls and lets water seep in faster than any sump pump can handle. 

If your property sits on waterlogged ground, building on a slab or crawl space is often safer, more affordable, and code-compliant.

Most basements wrap up in four to eight weeks. Framing takes three to five days, with electrical and plumbing rough-ins following over the next week. Add five days for drywall, two to three for flooring, and another week for paint, trim, and punch-list items. 

Delays can happen if materials run late or your contractor’s calendar is packed, so build in a little cushion when you plan.

Whether a finished basement counts toward your home’s official square footage depends on local rules. Many areas only include below-grade space if it has code-approved egress, fully finished walls, ceilings, and floors, plus consistent heating. 

Check with your local assessor or building department before you start; meeting those standards can affect taxes, appraisals, and resale value.

Building codes require a checklist: dedicated heat and electrical service, a code-approved stairway, and at least one egress window or exterior door. Walls, ceilings, and floors must be fully finished and meet insulation, ventilation, and fire-separation standards. If you add a bedroom, you’ll also need a closet, proper clearances, and safe exits. If you change the layout later, be ready to update the space so every new room still meets today’s code.
