"The sales rep was very personable and seemed to have knowledge of drainage problems and solutions. The workers arrived on schedule and worked very hard to accomplish the task at hand. They routed the drainage to an open ditch parallel to the property. They also rerouted drainage for an existing, inefficient french drain and sump that was pumping water across the driveway that was washing the soil out from under the concrete and creating an unsightly stain. To this point, we felt that all was going well. The problem that arose was that the French drain they installed was still higher than the foundation of the house. They filled in the trench with gravel to facilitate drainage, but covered the gravel with the soil they removed, which is mostly clay. Consequently, the water still runs off across the top of the French drain and overwhelms the foundation. Moisture in the crawl space has not been significantly reduced. I talked to the rep about redoing the crawl space which had mold forming on the floor joists. He gave me a quote that included sealing all the vents, cleaning the mold, adjusting pitch of the interior perimeter French drain, relocating the crawl sump and pump to a better collection point, putting down new vapor barrier and installing a crawl space dehumidifier, ($1,500.00) at a total cost of $4,290.00. If we wanted mold remediation treatment in addition to just cleaning the mold, the cost was an additional $1,950.00. The rep also agreed to send a team back out to remove the top layer of soil from the French drain and fill the trench with gravel, build up the soil at the foundation, making the new French drain at a level lower than the foundation to contain the water, at no additional charge. Subsequent to all that, we discovered some major structural damage that was going to be costly. Alignment of priorities and available finances dictated that the crawl space would have to be put on hold, at least temporarily. I sent an email to the Moisture Loc rep explaining our dilemma, but reiterated that I still expected him to live up to his promise to fix the French drain deficiencies, for which I already paid handsomely. In spite of email, text messages and voice mail to the rep, I have never received the courtesy of a response. I can only conclude that since we had to suspend the crawl space work, there is no intention to make the necessary changes/repairs to the original work as promised.

"The Moore brothers were great. They satisfied my Home Owners' Association with a detailed proposal within an hour of inspecting the job. They itemized and described the work, which included cleaning off the mold, replacing insulation, repairing joists, encapsulating the crawlspace, and creating a French Drain on the exterior of my unit to redirect the rain. They also set up my dehumidifier in the space with a wireless meter I can read from inside . Their price was in line and they did everything they promised in good order, good humor, and respect. Three other companies bid and were not even close... in promptness, plan, OR price. I highly recommend Jon and Danny Moore."

"The trimming of the Crepe Myrtles was done well.  I thought they were going to be lowering the tops of (2) of the Crepe Myrtle Trees that were closest to my home, but they just trimmed them back from the home which was fine.  The crew was on time, but the gentleman that came out to walk through all the work prior, I do not believe was on site as I received calls from the crew on site asking me about specific trees and what needed to be done.  I was expecting some communication on a full plan for my yard on landscaping that involved planting (trees, flowers, & shrubs), removal and installation of mulch, and removal of brick walls on current planter boxes, but there has never been anything to come of this.  I have not had any communication from the company since the work was completed.  
I am not saying the work performed was bad, I was just disappointed in that I gave them an opportunity to earn more of my business and there was no follow through.

"What they did was good. The gentleman that installed the switches did not check the (2) 2-way switches before he left and I found that one switch would lock the other from turning on. They did have someone come back out and make the repair. My only complaint would be that they put the dimmer switches in inconvenient locations, as opposed to where I requested them to be installed."

"America?s Choice Contractors remodeled our kitchen in April
2013. What a fantastic job!
 I can?t say enough good things about this fine group of
professionals. Chuck Rhoden and his crew, Rick, Tommy and Davey were a pleasure
to work with. Chuck met with us many times during the planning of our project
offering suggestions and answering our questions. He even took the time to meet
with us at supplier?s locations to advise us regarding quality materials to
achieve the durability and good looks we achieved in our new kitchen.
 Chuck was great and proved to be an honest and dedicated
professional.  Chuck?s crew Rick, Tommy,
and Davey treated us and our home with the upmost respect and concern. Their
professionalism not only shows in their work, but also in their punctuality and
attention to every detail. It was apparent that their goal of a beautiful
kitchen was as important to them as it was to us.
Chuck Rhoden, owner of America?s Choice Contractors, directs
his company in a way that shows his love for his work, his employees, and his
customers.  Because of this, we would not
hesitate to use America?s Choice Contractors again and we plan to do so in the
near future. We trust them completely and look forward to our next project. I
would rate America?s Choice a Five Star Organization and would recommend them
without reservation.

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in York, 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.
