"Fred was outstanding. We started our home renovation by converting part of a bonus room into a bedroom with 2 closets. Then, he converted a storage closet into a full bathroom by bringing plumbing up into our top floor. We were so pleased with that project, we asked him to do a complete kitchen remodel and replaced the floors in our first floor. Fred was efficient and affordable. His work turned out great and he offered expertise and knowledge along the way to make sure we were happy with the finished product. Our family feels like we have a brand new home thanks to Fred!"

"I am a property manager for a non-profit that rents single family homes to people with disabilities. Jermie, came to our aid quickly and responded to an emergency situation.  AHS work was very good. They are experienced and gave us a good price.  However, when trying to approve a new project, I asked for more details on the quote to I could figure the cost per square foot for flooring replacement. Jermie was offended by additional questions about his quote. He told me he no longer wanted to do work for our organization and hung up on me.  My co-worker said I was not being harsh or offensive. I was just needing more info to get my boss' approval.  If you are a good people person, maybe you can handle him better than I did.  But it was a very strange response to reasonable questions. I don't know about you, but we ask questions on a 14K bid."

"Excellent. Absolutely. They were on time. They did not slow down as long as they got into the house. They asked what they will be moving. They make sure everything is property loaded. They never slow down, they never stop. They had taken the beds down, put the beds back together. Excellent job. They did a wonderful job"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Columbia, TN

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.
