"We used DryPro for crawlspace encapsulation. We have a finished basement, with crawlspace adjacent to the basement. DryPro sent three teammates out to do the job - Juan, Steven McSawain and Donte Anderson were all on time, kind and professional. We have an unusually shaped crawlspace and Juan tackled the job without hesitation. We are already noticing better temperature and humidity control in our finished basement and house. So pleased, thank you guys for your hard work!"

"We had a leak in our finished basement, we called Moisture Loc to come out and inspect it and give us options. They recommended first making sure all the Foundation Drains were working properly. They checked the drains and the back drain was not working so they replaced it. Unfortunately the front was where we had a leak. Moisture Loc gave us some options, and we decided to have them re-do the waterproofing on the corner of the house that was leaking, they came in and did the work quickly and the issue has been resolved. All through the process they gave me options and explained the pros and cons and cost of each option."

"They did a good job on sealing up the basement. The french drain was a bit of a challenge. My car port was still flooding after a good steady rain. When they came back to fix, they removed some nice gravel that they installed originally and dug a little deeper and put in some stuff that was butt ugly. I didn't make a big deal of it because ultimately what I wanted was the flooding fixed. Getting them back to fix the problem took weeks. They often didn't return phone calls. The main guy said he had come out to look, but he didn't bother to tell me. The second time didn't fix it either. They finally came out a third time to work on the french drain after many phone calls and most of them not returned. I was told their answering service wasn't working a few times. Internet problems or something. But that went on for weeks. They finally sent someone out and they brought the drain further out from the edge of the car port. (The original problem they said was they couldn't dig any deeper because the edge of the carport had cement that was beyond the edge. My thought, they should have moved it back the first time when they realized this. The description of the ditch on estimate was it would be 12 to 18 inches deep. It was nothing close to this. I tried to point this out, they sort of ignored me. This whole miscalculation really wasn't my problem.)  They pulled ditch out on the other side of flower bed and made deeper, they put the crappy looking rock back and told me if it didn't work this time they couldn't do anything else. They pointed out how the hill on the side, (They put the drain in the front.) was so sloped that rain water was likely coming from there. Luckily this drain mostly fixed the problem. I felt they completely misjudged the drain situation. They bid low and that was tied up with some other work. So I can understand how their profit was trickling away. However; the way they handled the whole thing was unprofessional and careless. Due to this I decided I would probably not use them again. If you hire them to do their specialty, crawl space sealing, treatment and remedy, you may be happy with them. Just know you may have to deal with some issues around getting them to call back, etc.

"We have a mysterious smell in our great room and I was concerned that it was an electrical issue. Scott and Kurt came out, performed a number of tests, navigated the crawl (twice) looking for damaged wires and ultimately confirmed that the smell was not the result of anything electrical.  They went above and behind helping us brainstorm possible causes.
Both were very professional, courteous and neat, and helped put the room back together when we were done.
I'll be calling MI Electric for an upcoming bathroom remodel. Highly recommend.

I live in a 45 year old house in Waxhaw, and it has a lot of problems.  A few years ago I had ground water problems and needed a letter for the insurance company to state that the issues had been corrected.  Chris Manus was quick to respond to my inquiry, came out when he said he would, and did the letter for me.

Recently, it became clear that the time had come to fix some foundation problems as the floors in the home were sagging.  Chris gave me a competitive estimate and was able to start the job quite quickly.  They pulled lines in the basement to determine the extent of the sag, and ordered material in.  The masons come soon after and built new cinderblock footings, then the joists were raised to level everything.  All communication was clear, quick and he kept me updated on what was happening.  While working in the crawlspace, he told us that there was a mold issue, and for just the cost of the chemicals needed to spray it, took care of that as well.  We are happy with everything that he has done.

Currently we are working on several other things that we need; an outside retaining wall repaired, insulation replacement in the crawlspace, and a bathroom remodel (or two).  Chris is working diligently to try to keep these estimates within our budget and we wouldn't consider having anyone else do the work. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing work done on their home.  He is professional, courteous, and responsive.

"Before connecting Carolina Complete Services, I got two estimates for the remodel that were so wildly different that I was certain they were not bidding the same work. Since this involved cutting a hole in my house, I decided to give Jon Mowery another call. 

I am so glad that I did!. From the estimate to the final clean up, Jon and his team were professional and easy to work with. After the initial discussion about the work, Jon and I emailed and talked several times to ensure that he was estimated and ordered the right doors for the job. The estimate was higher than the first two I received but I was absolutely certain that Jon understood the requirements and the custom order for the French door. 

On the first day, the construction crew showed up ready to work and were able to make adjustments to their work when surprises arose like an electrical wire that need to be rerouted around the new door. When it was impossible to match the original siding, the crew made and painted external header for the new door. They also identified a problem with the new back door glass colliding with the counter and made a special trip to buy and then install a heavy duty door stop. I am very pleased with the work and at least 3 of my neighbors have asked me for Jon's card. "

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.
