"Cardinal Construction, Inc. designed and built a custom home for our family.  This was the 4th project out of several that the company has completed for our family in the past 7 years.  We initially had Cardinal construct a 7 car separate garage for us on the property, partially built out of steel to house the vehicles over a finished basement area, which included a golf simulator.  One wing of the garage was finished space for a school area.  We then had them remodel our office building on-site and repave the driveways. Based on their expertise and quality in the 1st few projects, we hired them to build a home for us on that same property.  We started the process of planning the new home approximately 8 months before construction actually began.  With design considerations, city variances and permits, we wanted to make sure we had given every aspect proper attention.  While the project was expansive, the entire team at Cardinal was attentive, timely and put together the craftsman to deliver an exceptional quality home.  Some of the materials were sourced over seas, while other design aspects of the house were truly custom and built on-site.  We have been so happy with our home and the Cardinal team, that we continue to use them for various projects as they come up."

"We had a great experience working with Mr. Maxey and his team on our deck project. From start to finish, Mr. Maxey was professional, responsive, and patient with all of our questions throughout the process. His communication and customer service really stood out and made us feel comfortable every step of the way. The crew that built the deck was efficient, detailed, and clearly took pride in their work. They paid attention to the craftsmanship, kept the project moving, and delivered a finished product that exceeded our expectations. The quality of the deck looks amazing, and you can tell the team genuinely cares about the work they do. I would absolutely recommend Mr. Maxey and his team to anyone looking for a reliable and professional builder."

"Crawlspace Vapor Barrier and Sump Pump System, Joist and Seal Plate Repair, Complete Bathroom Remodel. I knew immediately we had made the right choice with Josiah. He explained everything we needed, gave us the option to decide what we needed, and gave us a project cost in advance based on what we decided to go with. He explained every step along the way. Very professional. Very trustworthy. We felt comfortable leaving him free access to our home while we were at work. The work was extensive but completed to perfection. We could not be happier with the finished project. He even gave me tips on some DIY improvements I could do myself. Told us to call him anytime after the job was completed if we had questions. A great choice indeed. Highly recommend Strong Construction for quality work and peace of mind."

"We hired to remodel our guest bathroom due to a leak. All went well and completed in a timely manner. Very professional and patient (changed my mind last minute on floor tile pattern...and grout), but still able to get it done. Bathroom looked great!"

""Outstanding Work and Professionalism" I am absolutely blown away by the exceptional work done by this team on my tongue-and-groove ceiling installation in my garage/carriage house. From start to finish, they exceeded my expectations. Accurate Quote: Their detailed quote clearly outlined materials, labor costs, and the timeline—and they delivered on every promise. Timely Execution: Despite my aggressive timeline, the team showed up promptly at 7:45 each day and worked until 5:00, completing the project on schedule. Flawless Craftsmanship: The ceiling looks incredible. The attention to detail is impeccable. Professional Team: Everyone was polite, respectful, and a pleasure to have around. They also did a fantastic job cleaning up after themselves. It’s rare to find contractors who combine skill, reliability, and professionalism at this level. I couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Jefferson, 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.
