"We originally hired Rolling Green to simply tear down an old fence and put up a new one, but it ended up turning into a much bigger project, including landscaping and a porch redesign. What I appreciated most was the transparency. They were upfront about all costs from the start and kept communication clear throughout the whole process. It’s rare to find a crew that can jump from fencing and masonry to carpentry without losing momentum, but they handled the shift perfectly. The work is solid and extremely well done. Scope of work included: Fencing - Old fence removal and new install Landscaping - Palm tree installation, edging, and rock beds Carpentry - Added a new door and stairs to the screened-in porch Masonry - New mailbox installation"

"Charlie & Mitchell are THE BEST! Knowledgeable, dependable and reasonable. We had them over for a small repair to our screened porch, but ended up asking them to help us with a few additional items. We were so impressed we’ve asked them to quote us on two bath remodels. They truly care about their customers, which is blessing these days."

"Pete was amazing. He demoed the existing chimney brick, and replace with all new brick once the chimney was rebuilt and properly supported. Pete arrived on time every day, he completed the work timely and did a very high quality job. I would hire Pete again in a second and without any hesitation! Quality, professionalism and respect are qualities you can expect from Pete."

"Hail damage occurred in March of this year and I contacted Braswell Construction as well as 2 other local roofing companies. Chris Gaugler contacted me asap and came out to the house. The other two roofing companies I never heard back. Braswell Construction contacted my insurance company and worked out all the details. A week later I had a brand new roof with gorgeous colored shingles. Everyone in the neighborhood stopped by and literally knocked on the door to inquire. Chris Gaugler was onsite and available for questions anytime to the very end. The crew only took one day to do the house, extended 4 car garage and well house. Photos attached and it really makes a difference."

"Ricky Boger and his crew are the best in the low country. Hurrican Matthew put a sixty foot pine tre through our home. Superior Home Improvement came to the rescue and truly went above and beyond to bring our house back to better than new condition. They completely remodeled a bathroom, removing a tub and installing a custom walk I shower. It turned out fantastic. They handled everything for plumbing and electrical to paint and flooring. Ricky Boger is a man of integrity who does what he says he is gonna do when he says he is gonna do it."

"I looked on Angie's List for someone to repair/replace my deck.I received visits and estimates from 2 different highly rated (on the website) contractors/handymen. I chose to go with Everetts Custom Renovations LLC of Yulee, FL and I am happy that I did. First, Jason Everetts estimate for my project over $1500.00 less than his competitor, Secondly, I discovered during the time Jason and his associates worked on my deck that he is one of those often hard to find workers who is professional,experienced, skilled, hardworking, and honest. Jason showed up when promised and completed the work when and as promised.I was impressed enough by his work on my deck to hire him to complete a minor bathroom remodel involving framing, drywall work, and painting. Once again Jason proved to be a very personable and professional worker while performing excellent work. I would definitely employ him again and would highly recommend him to others for similar work.On these 2 projects, Jason showed he is willing to go the extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Jekyll Island, 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.
