Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers' interests and make their concerns the basis of our business.

"12-11-20 I fell in love with the Camden! There is a requirement in the covenants that a certain percentage of homes in the neighborhood were full brick 12-17-20 I signed a contract 12-19-20 Builder asked to raise the price and he would pay closing. Donâ  t have money said no. 12-26-20 I attended a preconstruction meeting. I signed the plans for approval. I asked if it would fit onthe lot, because there is a drain on one side of it. I also asked if the house would have be be flipped (garage on left instead of right). He said no 1-14-21 I was informed that the house would not fit on the original lot, and that it would have to be moved. I signed an addendum to move the house to another lot. 1-22-21 The gravel was delivered. It was delivered to the wrong side of the house for the driveway (I thought it was wrong, but later found out that he flipped the house without asking me, even though he said he wouldnâ  t do that). 2-22-21 I finally found out that they were waiting on windows to be delivered. The windows were ordered on 1/ 4 and they wanted to wait until windows got here to start framing. 2-26 Still nothing Sometime in February-I found out they let a permit expire but would have it soon 3-4-21 dropped off boards 3-16-21 Builder advertised on his FB page that he was selling his house.He had been building his own house during this time. 3-19-21 They used the boards for the outline of the house. That was when I saw that the house had been flipped. No one told me or my agent. 4-8-21 still nothing. 4-12-21 I wrote a desperate letter to the builder asking about him starting asap because my children have been homeless, my senior has missed the last half of her senior year, and it is costing a fortune in gas and hotel bills to try to get them to school. 5-4-21 (closing date!) still nothing. I signed an extension, but did not hear anything. I never got a response from my letter. 5-7-21 The builder sent an email to my agent saying he is ready to build and has permits (finally), and it will now cost $20,000 more dollars for the house since the price of lumbar has gone up.one might think a professional builder would know months earlier that he would need to raise the price to cover the lumber prices .He waited until after the contract expired to ask for more money .I did not have that much money. I had to tell my children, who have now been homeless for 6 months, that we do not have a house and have to start over. 1-3-22 I drove by the house I was SHOCKED to find out that the house that was built was NOT all brick .I had been told that was not an option, and it was going to cost me $9200 more just for that!! I was told the covenants required While what builder did may have been legal, morally is another question."

"Southern Specialty Contractor LLC, gave me an estimate on my property to install a roof and I agreed to move forward after all parties agreed to a price. I informed the representative Manny that we were on a strict budget and could only afford what we were quoted. He did a complete assessment of the roof and said he thought we would be fine with the price quoted and did not anticipate any additional problems based on his knowledge and expertise. My husband and I decided to move forward because he seemed to be an honest person. We paid half of the invoice and the other half was due at completion. We never got a phone call, text or email stating that they found any additional problems. Unfortunately, when the job was completed they sent an invoice with an additional $1995. I called and told them they made a mistake on the invoice and I was told that they found some additional issues and addressed them without my permission. I have never in my life heard of a company making additional repairs to a property without discussing it with the homeowner. I believe this is a scam. They submitted a lower bid to get the job and inflated it after the work was completed. This man had the nerve to file suit against me for repairs that I didn't approve. I have a feeling that this is how they do business. That is very unprofessional to inflate a price without discussing it with the customer. I will definitely see him in court. Please shop around before you do business with this company. I REFUSE to allow him to scam me. I wish I could give zero stars. He was paid in Full for the services provided."

Since 1978, Reliable has offered home services with exceptional reliability and customer service. We offer more financing options than any other company, even Comfort as a Service, a hassle free way to get energy-efficient heating and cooling systems, water heaters, water purification even generators for a low monthly payment and all repairs, maintenance even filters are NO additional CHARGE EVER. Reliable takes care of everything. That is an UNBEATABLE LIFETIME WARRANTY.

"I had a brand new heat pump system installed in April 2023. They sent subcontractors to install it who were very unprofessional and they left bare wires hanging out of the machine and it did not look like it was installed correctly. It stopped working completely 4 times in 5 months, the last time was on October 10, service tech said, “I really don’t agree with the way they installed it “ he said the wires were barely connected so it kept losing power. He got it working again and left. Two weeks ago it got cold and we turned the system to heat for the very first time. It blew cold air. We made ANOTHER service call. The technician said that a switch had “gone bad” because, “they wear out” we explained that we have never used the heat even once, so how could the switch be worn out. Then they advised they had to order a part. Over a week later the part came in and they returned and that still didn’t fix. Now they say the compressor has, “gone bad” and when we reiterated that we have never even used it so how is it worn out they answered, “they just go bad sometimes” we still don’t have heat, they say they have to order more parts. We asked them to look over the whole system because we don’t think it is installed right and I am genuinely concerned that it is a fire hazard and they looked at it, put electrical tape on some hanging wires and left. We have had to take SIX days off work so far and buy space heaters and we are no closer to having a working system. This unit is less then SIX MONTHS OLD. At this point I have no choice but to pursue legal action. This whole experience has been terrible and has cost me hundreds in missed time at work and I’m still paying for a system that does not work."

FAQs for basement remodel projects in Griffin, GA

Unless you have extensive experience in construction work, remodeling a basement is best left to a professional. There are several tasks associated with this project that require exact precision, including:

  • Replacing insulation 

  • Replacing carpet or other flooring 

  • Adding heating and cooling

  • Adjusting or adding walls and doors

  • Altering or adding plumbing elements

If any of these elements is done incorrectly, it could severely impact the quality of your basement remodel and be dangerous. Changing a basement often comes with code safety requirements, like egress windows and proper ventilation. Therefore, leaving it up to a professional is often the best decision.

The cost to finish a basement is $18,400 for the average homeowner. However, this cost could be as little as $2,800 or as much as $34,500, depending on the basement size and the materials needed. If your basement is already outfitted with electrical and plumbing, expect the cost to fall on the lower end. 

For example, the drywall cost for this project averages around $1,750, but other features, like hiring a plumber, cost between $45 and $200 per hour.

The cost to remodel a basement is between $12,100 and $33,400 for the average homeowner. The price you pay can be as little as $3,500 or as much as $50,200, depending on the size and condition of your basement and the type of remodel you're doing. 

If you're doing a simple project like adding a home office to your basement, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000. However, if you're adding a bathroom, which is an extensive project, you can expect to pay between $6,600 to $16,500.

Since DIYing a basement remodel isn't typically advised, there are some ways that you can still save money on this project without putting yourself in danger. Some ways to save money on a basement remodel include:

  • Painting walls yourself versus including in the cost of the remodel 

  • Installing light fixtures yourself

  • Choosing prefabricated fixtures, like cabinets, over custom ones

  • Choosing a budget-friendly flooring option, like laminate or vinyl flooring, and add rugs where necessary

Although homeowners often use the terms basement remodeling and basement finishing interchangeably, they are quite different terms. 

Finishing a basement is the process of taking a basement space that is not habitable and adding elements to make it usable. This includes adding plumbing, flooring, and insulation.

Remodeling a basement means taking an already existing finished basement and changing it, often by adding or removing walls, adding plumbing, or changing the existing flooring.
