"Clint, Hunter and Daniel did a great job. They added six sister joists and steel beams to get our floor back to being level again. We discovered this problem in the middle of a kitchen remodel and were expecting to have this set us way behind schedule. Alpha sent an inspector the next day and the repairs were completed the following week. We were able to stay on schedule and avoid having to pay storage fees for custom cabinets that were scheduled to be delivered. Great job!"

"P.K. Masonry arrived at my home on three different days on time, ready and willing to start the work. I was impressed how carefully he measured and drew out the plans for the fireplace. On my fireplace install PK was always concerned with what I was asking for, and listened to what I had to say. We didn't always agree, but he showed great patience dealing with me who knows nothing about what it takes to build a fireplace. I love my new fireplace that he built and will enjoy owning it for years to come. I definitely would hire PK again and have a job for him, planned for the future."

"Upon inspection my suspicion that a basement post had been removed at some time in the past was confirmed but despite my fears that an expensive solution would be required they gave me a sensible, reasonable option to address the issue. They provided instructions that I can give to whomever I choose to perform the work. The cost of the service was worth it for the peace of mind it gave me."

"Hail damage occurred in March of this year and I contacted Braswell Construction as well as 2 other local roofing companies. Chris Gaugler contacted me asap and came out to the house. The other two roofing companies I never heard back. Braswell Construction contacted my insurance company and worked out all the details. A week later I had a brand new roof with gorgeous colored shingles. Everyone in the neighborhood stopped by and literally knocked on the door to inquire. Chris Gaugler was onsite and available for questions anytime to the very end. The crew only took one day to do the house, extended 4 car garage and well house. Photos attached and it really makes a difference."

"Ricky Boger and his crew are the best in the low country. Hurrican Matthew put a sixty foot pine tre through our home. Superior Home Improvement came to the rescue and truly went above and beyond to bring our house back to better than new condition. They completely remodeled a bathroom, removing a tub and installing a custom walk I shower. It turned out fantastic. They handled everything for plumbing and electrical to paint and flooring. Ricky Boger is a man of integrity who does what he says he is gonna do when he says he is gonna do it."

"They are actually a national firm.  I spent between $8000 and $10000.  They did the complete tear down and reshingle in one day.  They had 10 guys working here.  They worked hard.  They did it quickly.  There wasn't any inconvenience at all.  They got up there and did the work.  I don't know anybody else who does it in one day with the size of the roof that we have.  We've got a 4000 sqft house.  I was happy."

"It was a couple of months ago they did the work.  It's fabulous and amazing.  I'm very happy with them.  They are incredibly professional and they are pretty flexible with work hours.  They worked with my schedule since I work full time.  They were truly professional and I trust them.  The biggest thing for me was that they were super clean.  They cleaned up after themselves when they were there and when they left.  I didn't have to walk behind them and I pick this opportunity to say that they were on top of everything.  They were wonderful.  Their professionalism was the main part because they worked for hours and they were very trustworthy.  Their work was excellent and they were willing to go above and beyond with their service.  I had some loose hinges so they just went through that and did them for me.  It was not a big deal and they didn't charge me for it.  They were really nice and very courteous.  They were excellent.  I'm actually having them quote me for something else.  They did a wonderful job and I was very pleased.                   "

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Scotland, GA

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.
