"Everything went very well with the remodeling of my bathroom. Blaine's employees were very professional, courteous and respectful while completing my bathroom remodeling project. My wife and I are very satisfied with the work they did on this project and as well as previous completed home projects. I will definitely hire Blaine Construction again for all my future remodeling projects. If you're in the market to have remodeling work done in or on your home. I recommend you call/hire Blaine Construction Company for all your remodeling needs. I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Good job to all of the employees of Blaine Construction Company who made my bathroom remodeling a success. Again, we're a very satisfied customer and are waiting for our next project to be completed by your team of employees. Salute ?"

"P.K. Masonry arrived at my home on three different days on time, ready and willing to start the work. I was impressed how carefully he measured and drew out the plans for the fireplace. On my fireplace install PK was always concerned with what I was asking for, and listened to what I had to say. We didn't always agree, but he showed great patience dealing with me who knows nothing about what it takes to build a fireplace. I love my new fireplace that he built and will enjoy owning it for years to come. I definitely would hire PK again and have a job for him, planned for the future."

"Upon inspection my suspicion that a basement post had been removed at some time in the past was confirmed but despite my fears that an expensive solution would be required they gave me a sensible, reasonable option to address the issue. They provided instructions that I can give to whomever I choose to perform the work. The cost of the service was worth it for the peace of mind it gave me."

"My roof had sustained damage from recent severe storms in my area. I contacted several roofing companies, through internet searches and some local advertisers. I received a few inspections and multiple estimates, but wasn't satisfied or felt comfortable enough with any of those contractors to hire them do the job. So, I started asking around for referrals from friends and neighbors. My coworker recommended Braswell construction, since she's used their services before and were very pleased. I called right away, spoke to owner Chris Braswell, we setup an appointment and he came out the next day. He assessed the roof, and we both agreed that my entire roof needed immediate replacement. Chris was very professional, he explained all the details clearly for me to understand. Two days later his team were out replacing my roof. They did an excellent job, completed the roof and cleaned up the debris all in the same day. I am totally loving my new roof! it looks amazing, and I'm glad I went with the color shingles Chris suggested based off his experience...since I couldn't make up my mind picking a color. I am very glad I chose Braswell and would definitely recommend them in the future. The service was superb! Carolee"

"Ricky Boger of Superior Home Improvement Remodel my kitchen; His work is EXCEPTIONAL he even helped me pick out color's, granite and offered sound advice. I thought his price was high at first, so I got other estimates and they were either the same or higher; Ricky came back and supplied me with an itemized list, down to the price of the canned lighting. It has been a few years and my kitchen still looks wonderful. I have hired other home improvement companies and have not been so pleased. The reason why I am writing this now (2012) is I recently remodeled my bathroom. An age old story - I hired someone that worked for a family member, the work took forever and looked OK, but underneath it was a mess! Shower leaked on all sides. I have called in Superior Home improvement to fix the job. I WISHED I WOULD HAVE HIRED SUPERIOR IN THE FIRST PLACE. <br /> THEY CLEAN-UP AFTER THEMSELVES. <br /> <br /> I wanted to put a and quot;Band quot; but I could not honestly do so."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Waycross, 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.
