"Going into it I knew this company had an excellent reputation throughout the Lowcountry. Finally had the honor to have Custom Carolina Construction on board for our latest remodel in West Ashley. Communication was on point. I told Carson what I wanted and he gave me his proffessional input and the high end results were better than I could imagine. His craft truly is an art and my home value just skyrocketed instantly after completion. Thank you Coastal Carolina Construction :)"

"Our experience with Mt Valley Foundation was outstanding. Patrick E., the Ceritified Field Inspector, conducted a very thorough inspection of our crawlspace. Then he presented us with all of the details and photographs of his inspection. He spent an hour answering all of our questions and then presented us with our options for our sagging floors and foundation structural repair. His expertise was invaluable. The installation crew, Joe and Stephen, were prompt, courteous and very professional. Joe, called and texted us to let us know that they were arriving soon. Upon arrival, he posted the work permit and then discussed, in detail, including pictures, what they were about to do. After installing the steel beams and IntelliJack support system, our sagging floors and baseboards were returned to normal. When they were finished, they discussed what they had done and provided pictures of the completed work. Great job Joe and Stephen! We highly recommend Mt Valley Foundation in Charleston."

"Mike, the owner, does a great job bringing his contractors and workers in and making sure all the work gets done. We're ultimately going to have them do a future kitchen remodel, that's how strong we felt about their work. They have some wonderful craftsman and are very detail oriented. They make sure that the details are done appropriately."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Folly Beach, SC

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.
