"ought a Lennox A/C system (through COSTCO) and Mitch Wright, Plumbing, Heating, & Air was the contractor assigned. I delayed posting review to allow time to correct “mistakes”, but they have done nothing. Mitch Wright sent a salesman out who was not on time for the first visit, so a second visit was required. He wasn't on time for the second visit either. He wrote me a quote for 16 & 18 SEER system, but the major systems stated “Model and efficiencies may vary”. I told the salesman I needed a quote with model numbers, and if I pay for a 16 or 18 SEER2 system, I expect to get a 16 or 18 SEER2 system. He provided an updated quote and assured me I would receive the efficiency I ordered. I accepted the offer. I told him I expect model numbers to match on install day. Mitch Wright installed different models of equipment (outdoor A/C unit, furnace, and thermostat). When I informed installers about the error with the outside A/C unit, they claimed it was an upgrade. When I informed the salesman of the error, he told me not to look at the ENERGY GUIDE and that they shouldn’t add those because they don’t mean anything. I told him the model number was wrong, and he brushed me off, telling me to contact someone else. I bought a low-NOx furnace ML180UH090XE48BK, but Mitch Wright decided to install a standard furnace ML180UH090E48BK. No idea the cost difference, but generally, low NOX costs more and is better for air. I am up in the middle of the night because the furnace exhaust through the roof is leaking due to the poor craftsmanship of Mitch Wright Installers. Their sloppy installation is damaging my property! I cleaned up water after discovering a leak to prevent further property damage and placed towels to catch rain that drips through. The furnace has new code flashing. The installers did not properly seal the air handler, and condensation formed at the air leaks. Water leaked all around the air handler and into the furnace. I had to seal the air handler that evening to prevent (further) water damage to the furnace. All the duct connections to the air handler were leaking air and causing condensation as well, requiring me to fix them. Air was leaking at the connection on the inlet side just past the air handler, sending unfiltered air into the blower. The furnace developed a fault code on the same day as installation. This all occurred on Thursday, June 26 2025. Mitch Wright has done nothing to correct their “mistake”. All they did was send this email: “I do apologize for the mishap between EL16KC1-047 and the EL16KC1-048. We are actively looking into the situation to provide a resolution to you and your home. We are currently discussing the differences between the 047 and the 048 model that you received. In the past, Lennox has substituted both of these models out due to product availability. As of right now the response we have received from Lennox is that the 047 model was created to hit different targets, within different market requirements. Our marketing standard is the 048 model. We wanted to contact you before the weekend to assure you that we are working on it. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to call our office or email us back. Thank you for trusting us with this matter.” Don’t trust these people with your home! Look at the Yelp reviews; they offer another perspective of this company."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Memphis, 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.
