Nestled in the historic and vibrant Old Fourth Ward, known for its rich heritage and dynamic growth, this project presented a unique opportunity. The area, celebrated for its blend of history and modernity, has become one of Atlanta's most sought-after neighborhoods. Our clients sought to enhance their home's value and functionality while respecting the neighborhood's character.
The homeowners, a dynamic family rooted in their community, needed to expand their living space. Heide Contracting transformed their underutilized crawlspace into a practical and luxurious living area. We combined innovative design with impeccable craftsmanship to create a space that perfectly aligned with the family's aspirations and the home's existing charm.

Before And After
The Transformation
Added 640 Square Feet of Ready-to-Finish Basement
The crawlspace conversion was no small feat. It involved extensive excavation and structural modifications to create a functional basement with 9-foot ceilings - a rarity in the area. The addition of a private entrance and full plumbing brought new life and possibilities to this space.
The result was a seamless expansion of over 640 square feet, elevating the home’s total area to 3,047 square feet. The newly added basement complemented the home's historic aesthetic while providing modern amenities to a ready-to-finish space. This project not only met the family’s desire for extra space but also significantly boosted the home's market value by approximately 26.58%, raising it to an estimated $1,071,380.

Our Approach
Enhancing Homes and Preserving Our History
This crawlspace conversion is a testament to our commitment to enhancing homes in a way that respects their history and meets modern living standards. We provided a solution that was both financially astute and deeply personal for the homeowners. They sought a dry, clean storage area to reclaim their living space but wanted the ability to finish the basement and add an in-law suite in the future.
