"I purchased a Pella patio door & installation through a retailer that turned into a total disaster and was eventually abandoned by the installer. I called Cransten to properly install, frame out, insulate & trim the door unit. Alan did everything | asked for and more. Alan is a true craftsman who took on a very challenging project and turned it into perfection! I would highly recommend Cransten and will definitely use again."

"Falcons Building Group is the very BEST Professionals! Angelo has so much experience as a real Commercial Contractor and I was so fortunate that he took such passion to make everything Beautiful. His partner Carolyn spent countless hours taking me to select the tile and fixtures and lighting and anything that was needed. Angelo would give me advice and I truly Trusted it was the right decision. And the renovation is beyond my high expectations! I recommend them to anyone looking to create lasting memories. Quality and Business Integrity is what comes to mind when writing this review."

"I can’t say enough about this company! I’ve used them twice now, once for a plumbing and gas installation and again for more appliance installation. Mr. Edward was prompt, professional, knew what they were doing and made me feel comfortable and confident in their work if I knew this company before I would had done my entire kitchen renewal that how amazing they are. I highly recommend this company, Mr. Ed and his team for any job, nothing to big to tackle you won’t be disappointed. ~A. S."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Summerville, SC

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.
