"I cannot say enough about Chuck Miller. He exceeded our expectations. He was efficient, reliable, professional and above all his work was amazing. He transformed our dingy unfinished basement into a beautiful apartment for my in-laws. He was able to add a living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, office space and storage closet. He was always upfront with us and let us know everything that was going to happen and what day it would be done. All of his workers were kind, knowledgeable and cleaned up after they were finished. The entire process was easy and as stress free as possible. Even when there were a few bumps in the road due to pre-existing issues in our basement, Chuck explained in detail what the issue was and how they could fix it. We had total confidence and trust in his ability. And we never regretted choosing him as our contractor. Chuck has a way of making us feel at ease and creating an easy-going work relationship. I would most definitely recommend him to others."

Rick Wright, owner of ACG has over 30 years experience in the construction industry. Mr Wright is personally involved with each and every job from the estimating appointment until job completion, there is absolutely no middle man. Customer satisfaction is our first priority and quality craftsmanship is guaranteed. It is our goal to meet each customers deadline for job completion on every project. ACG has a vast array of employees including painters, framers, jack of all trades professionals, tile, wood & carpet layers. We pride ourselves in the placement of the right tradesman for the right job.

"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."

Welcome to P.H.I. We specialize in bathroom, kitchens, tile or wood floors. We customize your job, and our goal is to minimize the discomfort of construction while making your home beautiful. We are licensed and insured. Our owner is a NARI Master Certified Kitchen and Bath Remodeler (MCKBR) and Universal Design Certified Professional (UDCP). P.H.I. has been awarded NARI Contractor of the Year for our bathrooms in multiple recent years.

"My wife and I have been homeowners for over 30 years, owning three houses in three cities. For the past 20+ years we have been homeowners in metro Atlanta. We have hired a number of contractors in our day. Professional Home Improvement (PHI) is far and away the best company we have ever worked with. We have (enthusiastically!) shared our experience and recommended PHI to our friends and neighbors. We were motivated to write this review and share our experience more broadly because we remember how much time and effort we invested in finding a company to handle some or (as it has turned out) all of our home remodeling project. We contacted PHI because we were impressed by the PHI website, which we found in our search. We thought that if the promises and results we learned about on the PHI website were for real, this would be the company for us. We now have several months of experience with those promises and results and, if you care about the same three essentials that we care about, we cannot recommend PHI—Dennis & Jean Delashmit and their crew of tradesmen—more highly. Below are the three essentials we were looking for and attached are a few photos illustrating the quality of work that PHI produces and continues to produce as we prepare now to enter “phase 4” of our remodeling project (which began with a tryout—a wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling remodel of our desperately decrepit master bathroom—which yielded results that have thrilled us and turned into “phase 1” of an ongoing remodel of almost all of our home). The three essentials: (1) Effective communication throughout planning and execution. Dennis & Jean listen—with deep attention and comprehension. They have a calling to improve the lives of others by improving the functionality and beauty of the homes they wake up to and live in every day. Their respect for, attention to, and comprehension of our functional needs and aesthetic preferences have been profound. And this has persisted throughout planning and execution; they have initiated more contacts with us than we have with them—to inform us about what’s next, coordinate the activities of tradesmen with our lives, and ask more detailed questions about choices of equipment, supplies, etc., as each phase proceeds. (2) Expert, hard-working, trustworthy tradesmen and connections to suppliers. This is something that is absolutely essential to the experience of undergoing a remodel. Can you trust the expert skills of the tradesmen your contractor assembles and whose activities they coordinate? Are you comfortable with their presence in your home? Do they consistently deliver value while onsite? We have shared our home with the tradesmen enlisted by Dennis & Jean for several months, throughout phases 1, 2, and 3. We look forward to their arrival in our home, admire their skill, hard work, and dedication to doing things right, and are completely comfortable with having them in our home. Dennis & Jean also have longstanding relationships with many sources and suppliers, greatly streamlining the process of finding and selecting the right paint, flooring, equipment, etc. (3) Reasonable prices yielding exceptional value, with careful and thorough accounting. Dennis & Jean are sensitive to price and value, exacting in presenting options and prices, and careful and thorough in their accounting. In sum, an A+ for Dennis & Jean and the entire PHI team/network!"

Titan Contracting and Renovations specializes in basement finishing, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, additions, decks, screen porches, sunrooms, and ground up new home construction. 20+ yrs experience.

"Project went well and Titan really worked hard to pull off all the permitting and local requirements for this project. All the teams working were top quality, respectful professionals who renovated our basement. Titan added in a kitchen, full bathroom, flooring, electrical, lighting, all new plumbing including sump pump and slab cuts. In addition a new HVAC and tankless water heater were installed. The final product was above expectations and within budget. We have since hired Titan for an additional project."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

A finished basement does not always count as square footage, though this varies by state regulations. You may live in an area that allows for below-grade spaces to be considered in a home's official square footage. In those cases, the basement must meet certain conditions, like having a functional egress and being a livable space with flooring, finished walls, and temperature control. Your local assessor can confirm your area's policies regarding basement square footage.

Yes, you can install a summer kitchen or kitchenette in your basement. They serve similar purposes as outdoor kitchens, keeping the main floor of the house cool and providing another space to cook and congregate. Basement kitchens are also a worthwhile alternative for homeowners without much space in the backyard. They come with a few logistical questions to sort out, though, like ventilation and waterproofing.

Yes, finishing a basement is worth the money in most cases. Although the project is a relatively expensive one, finishing a basement adds usable square footage to your home and typically increases your home value. Many times, your finished basement will add value that’s equal to or greater than the cost of finishing.

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.

Egress windows or doors are required in finished basements to meet safety and building codes. If your basement is unfinished and used as a storage space, egress windows are not required, but anything considered a habitable space must have an additional point of egress in addition to the stairs.
