Fort Moore (formerly Fort Benning, renamed in 2023) is the anchor of the Columbus metro. Off-post housing spreads across South Columbus, Custer Terrace, Cusseta, and into Phenix City. Military-family remodels have their own rhythm — PCS timelines, tenant-vs-owner decisions, resale-first mindsets. We know all of it.
Nobody has a smaller window than a military family. A PCS (permanent change of station) order comes in with a hard end-date, and if you're selling your house before the move you have maybe 60 – 90 days to make it show well. If you're improving the home you're moving into, you may have only two weeks after your family arrives to have a functional master bath.

Because PCS timelines are tight, we do same-week free in-home visits and hand you a written, fixed quote on the spot — so you can decide fast, with a real number and no obligation.
Three different authorities meet around the post, and your address decides which one you are in. South Columbus falls under Columbus Consolidated Government's Inspections and Code department, Get a Free Quote. Cusseta-side addresses fall under Chattahoochee County. Cross the river and it is the Phenix City Building Department, Get a Free Quote, or unincorporated Russell County on Get a Free Quote.
Worth knowing before a PCS move: Alabama and Georgia license contractors under different boards and different dollar thresholds, so a license that is valid on one side of the Chattahoochee is not automatically valid on the other.
