Can I stay in my home during a crawl space conversion?

In many cases, yes. The heavy work happens below the first floor, so the upstairs living areas often stay usable while excavation and underpinning proceed beneath. A contractor who plans access and staging carefully keeps the disruption contained, though the project does bring noise and equipment for a period.

How long does a crawl space to basement conversion take?

Timelines vary with the size of the space, the foundation, the soil, and the finishing scope, so the range is wide. The schedule also includes design and permitting before construction begins. Heide Contracting sets a realistic timeline for each project after assessing the home, rather than quoting a generic number.

Do I need permits to convert a crawl space in Atlanta?

Yes. Structural work like a conversion requires permits from the local authority, and the plans are reviewed against code. Heide Contracting handles permitting in-house as part of its design-build process, which also means the finished basement is legal living space when the home is later sold.
