"I have learned a lot in the past two weeks about hiring contractors. I made a major mistake hiring a neighbor to install flooring for my house. He was recommended by another neighbor. The contractor quit because I complained about the mess they left on the property like cigarette butts, saw dust on my porch, using my table for a saw horse, working 3 hours a day at the most, not prepping the floor for level installation and leaving my $6k of flooring outside in rain and hot sun ruining 12 boxes. Then after quitting, he seemed to think it was okay to walk into my home, without permission, when I was not there. I had to call law enforcement to insure nothing had been stolen or damaged. I had given him $2,500 up front, which was not adjusted for his total of maybe 10 hours of shotty work. It happened to be a blessing that he quit because he did not follow any installation directions like spacing for floor contractions, using caulk instead of required silicone, using incorrect baseboards and quarter round. And to top it off, he was charging me $3,000 more than a licensed, insured, professional, and experienced installer. After he quit, I got estimates from 3 different flooring installers, one which was recommended by Floor & Decor out of Greenville. Only one floor installer professional went over the installation instructions and warranties. Not from Floor & Decor, I hired Youngblood Flooring. They weren’t the cheapest, not the most expensive, but definitely the best. After this whole nightmare with my home absolutely destroyed and in disheveled living conditions, Youngblood immediately jumped in to save the day! My floors now look amazing. They are installed properly with warranty, and it looks professional. Not just slapped in. So here’s what I hope you take away from my mistakes. Just because you know where they live and has been known as a good handyman, doesn’t mean they will do the job right. Never, ever let a contractor give you an estimate without writing down date of completion, or failure to complete job, or getting a refund for your deposit if they quit. Make sure it’s signed too. Just make sure expectations are in writing. A written estimate may be considered a contract so don’t sign it ever. Contracts should be explanatory for scope of work, costs, completion time, and expectations of yours and their’s responsibilities. Also if they can have access to your property. Always get multiple quotes and question them about the installation instructions to see if they know what they are doing. Never trust 3rd party installers from big box stores. The big box will not take any responsibility for their recommendation. If you have hired a contractor and you see signs of them disrespecting your property, shotty work, or not putting in a full days work, you probably better get another contractor. Get a copy of their insurance and bonding should you need to file a claim against them. Thanks for letting me rant, but I know there are people out there that have or might be in the same situation. I hope you can learn from my mistakes. I see people on here all the time asking for recommendations. Beware! However, I would highly recommend Youngblood Flooring. Clint and Jonathan and their team left a very positive and professional impression on me that I would now expect from every one I contract for a job. Don’t just take my word for it, have them come out and give you an estimate and a copy of their contract to review before hiring them. You’ll be impressed too. Good luck to you."

"Hired Day's Home Improvement to do some light remodeling in a condo we bought in Gulf Shores. Project included installing new LVT flooring, building out an owner's closet, replacing toliets and painting throughout. They gave a fair estimate, communicated throughout the process--which was key since I own from out of state--and showed up when they said they would. I would definitely recommend and would hire them again."

"Clay was such a pleasure to work with. He listened to our ideas and brought several ideas and options to us. His workers were very professional and courteous. He was on time for our update meetings and finished each project within the allotted time. What we liked most was he did what he said he would do on time. We had planned a Christmas vacation with the whole family and had to have the project done by Dec. 24th. He was completed by Dec. 20th taking the stress off the travel plans.We have employed him on several follow up jobs that we planned and they have been completed with the same diligence as the first. He is working on adding crown molding to several rooms for us now. <br />"

"Bob Caron is the estimator for Lipford construction. He returned my call within minutes of my initial call. We set up an appointment the following day.  He walked through the house with me as I described exactly what I needed done. He was extremely helpful and was able to give me suggestions on the most efficient and cost effective solutions to each problem we had.  The estimate was very reasonable - actually about $8,000 less than 2 other quotes I received.  The work commenced exactly on the date we agreed.  <br /> Wiley was the project manager.  He was completely professional, extremely polite and very experienced.  <br /> They matched the brick perfectly - a concern I had because an entire wall was being replaced. The carpentry, sheetrock finishers, painters, and stucco contractors were all very polite and professional.  The job was completed ahead of time and on budget. <br /> These guys are the best!    <br /> <br />"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Montrose, 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.
