"Brandon and Matt did a fantastic job repairing and leveling several cracks in the sidewalk in front of my business. They were prompt, professional, and thorough. I couldn?t be more pleased. I highly recommend Groundworks and would definitely use them again."

"This should be an A+ review; however, a hiccup caused the downgrade. I called on 6/28 and Dana offered an appt for 2pm on 7/1. Dana called me on 6/30 as a reminder. Unfortunately, the appt was rescheduled for 4pm on 7/11. Dana called on 7/8 as a reminder. On 7/11, Mike showed up early for the appt. Performed a thorough inspection, provided pics of repairs needed near the roof, and advised the tech would be out the next day. On 7/12, Mike called to inform me the tech was off and would be out 7/13. On 7/13, the tech came out early and completed the job. All were friendly and thorough. A+ work. The hiccup - I called Dana at 2:30pm on Friday, 7/1 after no one showed up or called for my 2pm appt. Dana advised she would research. Dantae called at 2:34pm to advise he misread his emails, he was 30 mins away (Germantown) but would be at my home (Whitehaven) by 3:30pm. Dana called at 2:50p to verify I was called. At 3:47p, Dantae called to inform me he was stuck in holiday/rush hour traffic but on his way. That was the last communication I had with Dantae that day. At 5:30p, slightly irritated, I called the office and left a message with the answering service. The only reason I was slightly irritated and not mad was because a friend was receiving play by play updates on Dantae's antics and she kept me laughing on how Dantae probably started celebrating the 4th early and he called to give me two chances to reschedule because he was never coming anyway. Well, I didn't pick 7/1, it was offered to me and I was available all day. On Tuesday, 7/5, Dantae called at 8:19am and Dana called at 8:22am. I sent Dantae to voicemail as I was in no mood for his nonsense but I answered Dana's call because she had been nothing but sweet. The answering service did not relay the entire message, just the request to reschedule. So, Dana received an ear full on that Monday morning; she remained professional, apologetic and understood when I stated under no circumstances could Dantae come to my home. I wondered if I had allowed Dantae to come to my home if I could have received a discount because of his games but time is precious, I was too irritated to deal with him and Mike informed me their minimum for a job is $305. In the end, the work was good and I would work with them again (probably without Dantae)."

All of the old equipment was removed from my property and everything has performed great."

"Douglass construction repaired issues on the roof that had been there since the house was built and had over the years been the cause of other issues that made it necessary to replace parts of the roof and decking before reshingling could be completed. The job was done in a professional manner and work was done in a very timely manner. There were 2 delays that were out of the control of the construction company. I had picked a shingle that wasn't carried in stock so there was a wait for special order and then the last skid when opened were defective so had to be returned and took 3 days to have them reshipped to finish the job. I have used this company for several remodeling jobs from ceramic tile to major reconstruction inside my home and each job has been completed quickly, professionally and reasonably priced. <br />"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Mount-pleasant, MS

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.
