Customers say: Quick response

"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."

"Alex and his team did an amazing job finishing our basement. He started from the studs and completely transformed to a new living room, kitchen, full bathroom, bedroom and a game room. All the plumbing, heating and air, flooring everything turned out better than we thought. He will be back to expand our deck in the spring. Highly recommend!"

"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!"

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.
