"Do not expect these guys to stand by their work. They did a room renovation for me that included a dormer style window. Two years after they finished, the paint on the outside trim of the window started to warp and come off in large pieces. Exterior paint should not fail that fast so I contacted them about it. They initially would not stand by it and then would not address it in a timely manner so I had to pay another guy to fix a 40+K job for $300. Their reasoning was they did not make the paint or the wood. No kidding, but they were the lead contractor. The guy who fixed their work showed me where they did not properly prep the wood for painting and used wood filler where other materials would have been better. They even painted over a sticker that was on the wood versus removing the sticker!? Poor craftsmanship and poor oversite. The guy who fixed it said it was the worst window trim job he had seen in 25 years of doing work. Buyer beware."

"I work with About The House in several of my projects. Bobby is a "hands on" type of contractor. He is VERY thorough. He remolded our office, installing cabinets, hanging barn doors, replacing a bathroom vanity and installed an exhaust fan, built a beautiful knee wall, installed new base trim, an more."

"It took several months before they got to me, because they are quite busy, but I was not in a big hurry. They did an excellent job; it looks great! They re-used my brick and did a good job of matching the mortar. They removed the whole area around the cracks, cleaned it up, and then re-assembled it. They also redid some brickwork under a downspout and that looks nice as well. They put new molding and lintel around the garage."

"It went great. There was a long wait due to other jobs scheduled before mine and also weeks of rain, but it was well worth the wait. It turned out beautifully. The crew was nice, very hard working and very talented. Clint was super to work with. I would highly recommend this company."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Huntsville, AL

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.
