"It went really well! I could not believe the transformation! I've used Conrad Construction over the last few years for projects. The owner, Clay Conrad, and his men are very professional, knowledgeable and reliable! I trust their expertise and advice. They always explain details in terms I can understand, and have never tried those "high pressure" techniques I have experienced in the past. I will continue utilizing them for all my needs large and small, they can handle it! <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 />"

"It was what they said it was but, it wasn't really that helpful to me. I don't think I got much out that. There is no punctuality, all they do is send you a document. They don't come out to your house and they don't perform a service. I didn't talk to anybody and so I don't think professionalism is applicable. I don't feel the document was thorough enough."

"The quality of their work is very good; however, they are much too expensive, since they hire contractors. Also, they don't accept personal checks, debit/credit cards. Considering how expensive they are, they have some nerve not to be more cooperative insofar as how their customers may pay for their services. I read one of the reviews in which the representative stated that they had been in business for ten years; however, they have not been in business for ten years in Mobile, but the Mississippi Gulf Coast instead."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Wilmer, 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.
