"Project went really well.  Mr. Berry did the entire project from tear-out/demo to finish.  The project included refinish kitchen cabinets,  <br /> running a gas down to new oven, and Mr. Berry had the idea that since we would have a plumber running the gas line down the wall for oven anyway, we could go ahead and run a water line also and install a pot filler over the new oven.  It was a great idea, and we love it.  Also, upgraded lighting which included under the cabinets and overhead.  Ms. Berry helped select lighting fixtures and is a pleasure to work with also.  We also installed granite counter tops and tile on the walls. Ms. Berry installed the tile, and oversaw the granite installation.  Is perfect.  In summary, Berry construction is highly recommended by me. <br />"

"My wife and I bought a retirement home in Ocean Springs that was flooded by Katrina.  The home was under 5 feet of water and unoccupied for years.  We solicited several quotes and Emmitt Christie's (Just Fix It) was by far the most competitive.  We were located in Columbus, Ohio during the duration of the remodeling (May 2013-Sept. 2013).  Because we were not familiar with the area or contractors in the Misssissippi Gulf Coast, I was apprehensive about hiring and trusting any company to take care of our investment, especially since we weren't there.    However, that all changed with Emmitt.  We could tell him what we wanted done, when we want it done and he would give us a very good price for the job.  We could trust Emmitt to do the job right, on time and without us being there.  Although his price and quality of work was very good,  the fact that we could trust him is what makes him very valuable.  Some of the work that he performed on our home included:  New roof, new wiring, new drywall, some new plumbing, installed kitchen cabinets and counters, bathroom vanitys, designed and installed a new slate walk-in shower, built a deck, installed electrical panel boxes, ceiling lights and fans throughout the home and converted the garage into a den and laundry room.  The bottom line is I would highly recommend Emmitt's company, Just Fix It, for any job, big or small. <br />"

"All work was well done as we have come to expect from Brandon.  I found Brandon about 2 years ago, and he has been a real blessing for us.  He originally repaired some vinyl siding and installed Hardi Plank on part of the house.   We were pleased with his work and then got him to  build us a deck that wraps around the sunroom.  Since that time Brandon has been our go to guy for virtually all of our household projects or repairs and we are grateful for all he has done for us. <br />"

"I looked up "The Handymen" in Angie's List. I called Ron White of The Handymen company. He was easy to reach on the phone. Within a few hours Ron arrived to scope the job. Ron's professionalism was evident immediately. He described what he would do and how he would do it. I realized that he had chosen the most cost effective option of repairing the door. He said it would take a couple of hours. Not knowing his hourly rate for labor I requested an estimate. When I got the estimate, which was after a day or two, I realized his labor rate was higher than I am used to paying. But it was all well worth it. He had a hired help with him. Both men worked hard and efficiently. I got a quality job done to my satisfaction. <br /> It took Ron longer that two hours to complete the job, but he did not charge me more."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Pelahatchie, 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.
