"Hats off to Blake, Arnold, Yoni and team leader Ricardo for doing an awesome job installing our perimeter drain system, sub pumps, and wall moisture barrier. They were knowledgeable, talented, and professional. They showed up on time every day and kept us in the communication loop. Looking forward to having a dry basement in the 50 year old house that we bought last summer. Our sales consultant, Rob L., was also a wealth of information and helped us find an affordable solution to our water issue. We definitely would recommend the Huntsville office of AFS to others! "

"It took several months before they got to me, because they are quite busy, but I was not in a big hurry. They did an excellent job; it looks great! They re-used my brick and did a good job of matching the mortar. They removed the whole area around the cracks, cleaned it up, and then re-assembled it. They also redid some brickwork under a downspout and that looks nice as well. They put new molding and lintel around the garage."

"Outstanding job. Justin keeps busy so took a couple of phone calls to get hold of him, but once I reached him, we arranged for him to come and give an estimate. Estimate was detailed and very reasonable. He was clear and up front that he was licensed as a remodeler rather than a general contractor which was fine since I wouldn't be doing any electrical or plumbing. He started when he said he would and worked very professionally taking care of permit and inspections. He would tidy up materials and haul off debris every day so that yard was never a mess. The siding repair went very well. He pulled off the old siding and located where original contractor had failed to properly close out the roof over the bay window including the flashing. Justin installed proper flashing and repaired the facia to prevent future water intrusion. He matched the siding style and reinstalled trim, painted, and caulked everything perfectly. The original deck was also poorly constructed and not to code. Justin and Mack demolished the old deck including removing posts and concrete. They set larger 6x6 posts and then built the frame and properly tied it in to the house. He installed the Timber Tech using hidden fasteners and closed out all sides with additional 2x10's as facia boards and installed the new stairs. He also installed lattice under the deck. Any materials that were not the Timber Tech composite were painted to match. Lastly, he installed a new aluminum railing that is very strong. In summary, he did exactly what I wanted, when I wanted, for the price quoted, and to workmanship standards that exceeded my expectations. Would definitely use for other work and recommend to others."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in New Hope, 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.
