"Trevor and his team did a brilliant job with the renovations of the house that was not in good shape prior. He was communicative and available to chat at all times to provide updates. The attention to detail on all tasks is what impressed the most. He was flexing with his pricing and got the job done before estimated completion date. I would definitely use his services again."

"P.K. Masonry arrived at my home on three different days on time, ready and willing to start the work. I was impressed how carefully he measured and drew out the plans for the fireplace. On my fireplace install PK was always concerned with what I was asking for, and listened to what I had to say. We didn't always agree, but he showed great patience dealing with me who knows nothing about what it takes to build a fireplace. I love my new fireplace that he built and will enjoy owning it for years to come. I definitely would hire PK again and have a job for him, planned for the future."

"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."

"The overall experience was excellent! They updated me almost daily about the process (it took several days to complete). I wasn't sure how things would work out since we were doing all this coordination long distance over the phone, but Michelle was an outstanding coordinator, and very detailed in explaining how the process was going. They take extreme pride in their work, and they did not even want me to pay them until I had done a complete inspection of their work. I live in Alabama, and the house is in Georgia, so I had to drive a few hours to get there. I was amazed at how good the house looked, and how it smelled! It had been closed up for months and had a musty smell before. NGR--North Georgia Remediation does an excellent job of killing the mold, cleaning all surfaces, and making sure it doesn't come back. I would definitely call them back if I purchased another home that needed this treatment done, and I would definitely recommend them to a friend!"

"John Robillard and Sam Morlett did a fantastic job remodeling my garage into a home entertainment room. They completely changed the outside on the home so that one couldn't even tell there were ever garage doors there. There are no left over garage squares. Just two new windows and shutters with new siding that looks like the builder built the wall with the home new. Inside they dry walled the inside, made fan and new power outlets. They took off the garage entry door and widen the entry to make it an entrance space just like one into any other room. Also they create larger, safer steps into the new space. Now of course we still have to wood or carpet and paint it. But my family is very happy to have this new space for the kids after downsizing. We knew we would not have it if we did not do it right when we moved in. Sam and John were always on time, flexible and super nice. I would highly re come them for any home improvement job. They just built a brand new deck for one of my very good friends last month too that he absolutely loves. They too are talking about having John and Sam do their garage and built a new garage next to it! <br />"

"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."

"The job was completed promptly with high quality workmanship. The contractor and his subs were very responsive to concerns throughout the process. We had a few changes along the way that were handled easily. They even helped move our furniture and belongings prior to the start of the job and then again once the work was completed. I've had a few questions after the job was finished and I was able to contact them easily and got an immediate response. These contractors aren't going anywhere and stand by thier work; I would hire them again if I needed work done. <br />"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Lakemont, 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.
