"We had our kitchen and bathroom remodeled by A-1 Plus Remodeling and could not be happier. Mr Romney and his crew were so respectful and helpful with our remodel and concept of what I wanted. They started on time every day and finished the job exactly when they said they would. I would recommend them for any remodel that you have in fact we have another job lined up as soon as we get ready. Thank you A-1 Plus."

"First of all, it took over a month to get the job done, when I was told it would be done in 2-3 days, and it on top of that it is incomplete.  I had been quoted and paid for replacement of bathroom vanity countertop & mirror & replacement of a piece of base board which has not been done as of this time, because they left without it being done.  On top of that, they left the work area a mess.  I will have to hire another contractor to come and finish the job I have already paid this company for if it is not corrected."

"Mr. Bidwell met with me at the house and went through and gave me an estimate for all the work. Him and his crew showed up the day he said they would start and on time. The work was very professional and kept everything very clean and neat. The job was completed on time and I am extremely pleased. I found Mr.. Bidwell to be  very nice and trustworthy which means alot. The quality work they did speaks for itself. I will defiantly use Bidwell Painting again. <br />"

"Chris came and measured the driveway and provided us with an estimate. After securing several bids, we chose Innovative Contractors, LLC. On the designated date, Chris and his crew arrived. After laying out the equipment, the demolition began. Well into the process, it was apparent we had an unusual driveway that was the exception to the rule. Instead of the usual 4 inches. the driveway depth ranged from 8 inches to 2 feet. It was a mess under there. They removed the demolition material, graded the under surface, covered the under-surface with a geothermal concrete blanket, made sure the new driveway will have the proper slant correcting a major problem the old driveway had. They filled the driveway with gravel. Here their progress was hindered by major rain occurring over several days. Finally, they got a break and were able to pour. Our neighbors all commented on how hard Chris' crew worked and that the driveway truly was a work of art. At least one of them is obtaining a quote from Chris. <br /> Chris and his crew were very professional, courteous and congenial. They always answered our questions and even anticipated questions at times. <br /> <br /> <strong>Unfortunately Innovative Contractors do not provide follow-up when a problem arises. Chris has been promising me for 2 years to come back an do a patch and answer some questions as to why the concrete has been cracking and hole appearing. and keeps saying he will come but must attend to another job.</strong>"

"I had a previous bad experience with a drywall company and had James come and take a look to give me an estimate on a bathroom and hall drywall project.  While he price was slightly higher than the one from the person who had done prior poor work, his professionalism and knowledge led me to giving him a shot.  He started on time and brought help as needed.  Any small issues that came up he handled with ease and good communication.  The work was finished on time and in good condition.  The quality of his drywall finishing was very good and his cleanup was outstanding.  When we were ready to paint afterwards, there were minimal areas that we found where the sanding could have been slightly better - but this was minimal and I'm sure he would have gone above and beyond if I had called him to sand more... they were just too minor to bother with that.  While I rated the quality of a work as a B, it was very near an A and I am not sure it is possible for drywall to be as perfect as what I would consider an A.  Overall I was extremely satisfied with his work and I will be hiring him again for additional projects in the future."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Decatur, 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.
