"We had the absolute pleasure of working with Rick Weight of Alpha Construction Group at 1608 Cordillo Ct, Dacula, GA, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the results. Rick transformed our basement into a beautifully designed, fully self-contained living space, perfect for multi-generational living. The renovation included a stunning kitchen, spacious bedroom, and a full bathroom—culminating in a fully functional two-bedroom suite. Not only did Rick deliver exceptional craftsmanship and high-quality work, but he also completed the project ahead of schedule—a rare feat in the world of construction. From start to finish, he was professional, friendly, and incredibly responsive, answering every question and addressing every concern we had with care and expertise. What truly sets Rick apart, however, is how he goes above and beyond. He generously installed cabinet knobs in the kitchen and shower hooks throughout the house—at no additional cost. These thoughtful touches reflect his commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction. My wife and I are deeply thankful for Rick’s outstanding work and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to transform their space with confidence and peace of mind."

"I contacted Creative Basements for my daylight basement finishing project. The detailed competitive quote I received coupled with the fact that I knew I would be communicating with the owner of the Company (and not a project manager) throughout the process made is a no-brainer for me and I picked Creative Basement from several other companies I was considering. Jason was very responsive throughout the entire process and answered all of my questions prior to signing the contact and throughout the entire process. I ended up having finished approximately 1650 sq ft of finished space which included a living room w/fireplace, bar, full bathroom, bedroom, game room and gym. I would highly recommend this company."

"I paid Mr Charlie Hippie of Cardinal Construction & Roofing INC $9000.00 on August 26th 2021. He promised to start work in 2 weeks. Which was supposed to be on September 9 2021. He never did. I called him every week for 4 weeks and all he kept doing was giving me excuses upon excuses. He was supposed to finish my basement for my sick mother in Law to use as treatment. I am still trying to reach him as I write this review but he has refused to pick his phone call or respond to my messages."

"We were very nervous to hire a contractor but we are so glad that we did. Calvin and his crew were awesome. Very professional and courteous. Calvin was great about responding to calls and texts. He gave some suggestions that we wouldn't have thought of ourselves. Our deck has never looked better. We have our next job lined up and are talking about a couple more. We highly recommend MWR. They were worth every penny."

"If you are looking for exceptional quality, creative problem solving, and great communication, look no further! AllCraft brought my dreams into reality. George was able to take my basic sketches, from someone with no professional design experience, and bring them to life in a way that was safe, up to code standards, and picture perfect. I especially appreciated his "can do" attitude with all my unusual ideas that most builders would laugh or roll their eyes at, making every effort to figure out a way to make it happen or actively brainstorming with me on creative solutions, but never compromising safety or quality. His network of contractors are top notch and his long standing relationships with county officials and inspectors will work wonders for your schedule. His many years of experience in various types of construction bring a lot of value and you will be left with something worth way more than what you paid. Photos of just some of the projects he's done for me over the years."

"I chose HDEZ Gabinets for my owner suite bathroom remodel. This contractor provided an all inclusive price for demo, subfloor repair, plumbing, electrical work, painting, custom cabinetry and shower glass. Some items were included or I received a credit if I provided the item myself. The subcontractors cleaned up as they worked and protected our home. The price was more than fair and Pedro stands by his work. Our bathroom is beautiful and we are already thinking about getting our kitchen done. I researched Pedro and his company thoroughly before hiring him. Because of my job, I need to trust who was brought in my home and I also see contractors take advantage of people. I wanted to be as certain as I could about this company. Added a couple of before pics to see the transformation."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Gainesville, 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.
