"This father-and-son team is awesome. They were timely, communicative, and very fair. They started when they said they would, got the job done efficiently, and kept in touch with us about changes and innovations as the project went along. They were also totally honest with us about renovation ideas we had that would not have worked due to the condition and logistics of our home, which is 60 years old and sits on a steep hill. The E&A crew worked hard and left a spotless work space. The drywall in the office is as smooth as it can be -- you would never know this room was once part of an unfinished basement. We will definitely think of E&A first when we go ahead with other remodeling projects for our home."

"Thomas did an excellent job remodeling our 1400 sq ft basement. The project was a large one encompassing carpentry, plumbing, electrical, drywall and extensive trim work. The quality of work was extraordinary and actually, exceeded my expectations. Job site was always cleaned at the end of the day, and I always felt safe leaving my house in their care everyday. My wife and I highly recommend Sommercraft and look forward to using them again in the future."

"The Moore brothers were great. They satisfied my Home Owners' Association with a detailed proposal within an hour of inspecting the job. They itemized and described the work, which included cleaning off the mold, replacing insulation, repairing joists, encapsulating the crawlspace, and creating a French Drain on the exterior of my unit to redirect the rain. They also set up my dehumidifier in the space with a wireless meter I can read from inside . Their price was in line and they did everything they promised in good order, good humor, and respect. Three other companies bid and were not even close... in promptness, plan, OR price. I highly recommend Jon and Danny Moore."

"It went ok. Multiple contractors in and out for many different applications. Jeremy was the foreman and made sure each contractor arrived to do the job spec'd for. Everything looks great, but a couple of items that came out less than perfect that I wasn't aware of until after job completed. Designer tile in marble shower wasn't installed smoothly in some places. Most was even with marble, which was nice, but there's a small area that is indentent. No one would notice, but we do! Also, noticing after 4 months of install, the small silve cap in sinks that granite was installed is chipping. Its only plastic, not a metal insert?
Overall, happy with the job. On the expensive side, but nice to have them handle everything. Am a bit disappointed that there was no followup from the owner or saleman that quoted us the job to see if satisfied with everthing. Once the job was done, foreman, I believe did check on things, but after spending almost $15,000, management followup would have been nice.

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Mayo, SC

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.
