"Fred was timely, communicative, friendly, and transparent in his process to remodel our two bathrooms. During a time of working with insurance and navigating an unforeseen situation causing both of our bathrooms to receive full remodels, Fred was very easy to work with and understanding. His work was great and still holds up to this day. Highly recommended and we will be calling him for future projects!"

"Hired Ali and his crew for a major home remodel. Bathroom, kitchen, bedroom renovations, unfinished basement conversion and other projects. Very professional from beginning to end. Communication is prompt, materials were always on time, his crew were quick and knew what they are doing. We are very pleased with the end results and will hire him again if we need other work performed. Thank you!"

"I have been extremely satisfied with this company. The supervisor is outstanding. He is honest, prompt and a good communicator. In 2017 they did some major repair work by replacing replacing wood in the eaves and paneling on the second floor of my house which is wood outside and was built in the early 1970s. They also painted the entire outside of the house. Since then I have used them for home improvements such as bathroom remodeling, replacing a window and wood frame, putting in a drain in the back yard and work in the kitchen replacing stove hood. The work is first class, the crew is courteous and efficient. They do a lot of different types of work on a house and I am very fortunate to have found them and would highly recommend them to you."

"Absolutely no complaints! James and team did a fab job venting my previously encapsulated crawlspace after we noticed some fungal / moisture accumulation. Looking forward to working with them again in the future."

"Sergio, did a fantastic job on the remodel of my bathroom and fixing what he found during the remodel of the bathroom. He found out that I had a leak under the toilet, which had been an ongoing problem, that no one was aware of. And because it was found on a Saturday and I have only one bathroom, he made sure I had at least a toilet to use!! I would recommend Sergio and his company, Southern Bright Star Construction to anyone to have work done!"

"Jonathan is awesome! Very honest, fair and professional. He is super respectful, listened to what we wanted done and went above and beyond to make sure we got it. He cared about us and showed up right away whenever we needed anything. We noticed a few small things that needed to be touched up after the job was complete and he personally came the very next day and handled it. Going into the project my husband and I were nervous because it was our first remodel and you never know who you can trust these days but I'm here to tell you, I highly recommend Jaaco Builders!!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Franklin, 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.
