"We had previously hired someone to waterproof our basement but it severely failed. Once AFS came and accessed the crawl space, they implemented a new system. Our crawl space is amazing now and the team Quadarrius, Jovian, and Dallas were professional, informative, and proficient! Colt my representative walked me through everything before during and after! I love this company and recommend their services to anyonet!"

"I worked with Jody Gentle, and he and the Braswell Construction Group delivered on their promises and workmanship.  I was especially impressed with the work on the roof.  The crew arrived on time and worked diligently to get the roof done in one day. Jody was here several times during the day to make sure everything was performed as contracted. The crew put down protectors for my shrubs which are all around the house and none were damaged, and the clean-up was unbelievable.  I had a whole dumpster full of roofing material once they were done and I loved that they sweep the property with magnets to collect all the nails. <br /> Jody and I walked the property at the end of the day as he wanted to make sure I was a happy customer with the roof. The rest of the project was done within a couple of days. <br /> I can say we are extremely happy with the Braswell Construction Group and will use them again in the future. <br />"

"We have recommended North Georgia Remediation to our clients for many years for all of the above mold remediation issues and repairs.  We have received ONLY great comments and appreciation for their work.  Their proposals are accurate and all work has been completed in a timely and professional manner.  For the very few instances where a return trip is needed for clarification or adjustments, they have stood behind their workmanship.  Many of these clients have asked NGR to return for additional repairs/upgrades and improvements."

"Ricky Boger at Superior was trust worthy and a delight to work with. He came through on every agreement. His work exceeded my expectation in cosmetics. The structures are sound and passed all city inspections. His crew did a thorough clean up of the grounds when the project was complete. In spite of holidays and Hurricane Irma his crew managed to complete my project in a timely manner. I am appreciative and would not hesitate to use Superior Home Improvement again. Highly recommend them!"

"That particular company had been getting a bad rep before we used them. We went ahead and used them and it was not an insurance claim and they did an excellent job. They're competitive and very comparable to everybody else in our area. They're not any more expensive, they're not any less. They do a really good job, what they promise to do, they do."

"It was a couple of months ago they did the work.  It's fabulous and amazing.  I'm very happy with them.  They are incredibly professional and they are pretty flexible with work hours.  They worked with my schedule since I work full time.  They were truly professional and I trust them.  The biggest thing for me was that they were super clean.  They cleaned up after themselves when they were there and when they left.  I didn't have to walk behind them and I pick this opportunity to say that they were on top of everything.  They were wonderful.  Their professionalism was the main part because they worked for hours and they were very trustworthy.  Their work was excellent and they were willing to go above and beyond with their service.  I had some loose hinges so they just went through that and did them for me.  It was not a big deal and they didn't charge me for it.  They were really nice and very courteous.  They were excellent.  I'm actually having them quote me for something else.  They did a wonderful job and I was very pleased.                   "

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Fort Gaines, GA

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.
