Hydrotech Pools, Inc. - Specialized and innovative approach to swimming pools Pools - Spas - Decks - Renovations - Consulting - Repairs All in house crews - Financing Available

"Could not possibly be more pleased. Irma’s ‘removal’ of our pool cage served as the impetus for a complete re-do of the deck and pool. Pricing on the travertine pavers, done in a French pattern, was competitive, and beat estimates from 2 well known local companies (in one case by a country mile). The work on the spa involved the removal of the deco glass block wall, and rebuilding the wall with concrete/rebar. Work started pretty much right on schedule. They had a well thought out game plan, and there was minimal down time (most of that weather related). The stone suppliers mistakenly delivered 4” wide coping instead of the 24” wide bullnose coping we’d ordered. The mistake was corrected in 48 hours. I have to give kudos at this point to our project super, who was on top of everything as work progressed. The super, Rob Rogers, monitored things closely, and was in phone or text contact with me daily. He did a superb job. After the deck work was finished, the pool resurfacing job got underway. There must have been 12-15 men here that day (with threats of rain almost throughout the day); during the one or two occasions it began to lightly rain, plastic tarps were immediately deployed to cover the just poured pebble tec surface, with large fans activated to keep the pool bottom dry and the tarps raised. Everything looks tremendous, and I’ve gotten nothing but compliments from neighbors and friends. I plan to share some before and after photos, but not just yet; hopefully, these can be added to my review afterwards. The orange contractor’s fence that still surrounds the deck’s perimeter has seen better days, and its presence in the background will sorely detract from any photos taken right now. As soon as Hydrotech’s subcontractor gets the cage put up, I will prepare an update to this review, and provide some before and after photos which will speak for themselves. OK, I suppose that qualifies as a ‘nudge,’ and a request that the cage contractor begin it’s work sooner rather than later. I just don’t want stains (from leaves which drop to the bottom daily) to end up ruining our beautiful new pool. I highly recommend Hydrotech, and, once again, commend the work done by Rob Rogers in pulling everything together with such efficiency. (Note: the cost provided, below, includes the price of the pool cage/enclosure)"

We are a full service contractor quality first. I have 4 employees, also have 23 hand picked sub contractors. I supervise all employees & sub on every job all work must be to the highest standards. Our license covers all your building needs CBC 1253128.

"Hewitt’s Home Improvements did an amazing job with our renovation on Ft. Myers Beach. Eric’s attention to detail, professionalism and personal care in our project was extremely helpful. Their willingness to listen to what we wanted and give expert advice on what would make it even better was the best I have ever seen in any company. They were always available to answer questions and willing to accept changes all the way through the process. I could not believe how patient they were with us because we were new to a project like this. They made sure we felt comfortable with everything and took the time to explain all of the technical details. We would not have our beautiful new home if it weren’t for Hewitt’s!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Cape Coral, FL

Finishing a basement turns unused square footage into livable space and returns up to 70% of what you spend when you sell your home. Beyond that resale boost, you gain a playroom, home office, or guest suite you can start enjoying right away. That mix of daily comfort and solid return on investment (ROI) makes basement finishing one of the smartest upgrades you can tackle.

In some parts of the country—especially lots on swamps, high water tables, or other wetlands—local codes prohibit basements. Saturated soil puts constant pressure on foundation walls and lets water seep in faster than any sump pump can handle. 

If your property sits on waterlogged ground, building on a slab or crawl space is often safer, more affordable, and code-compliant.

Most basements wrap up in four to eight weeks. Framing takes three to five days, with electrical and plumbing rough-ins following over the next week. Add five days for drywall, two to three for flooring, and another week for paint, trim, and punch-list items. 

Delays can happen if materials run late or your contractor’s calendar is packed, so build in a little cushion when you plan.

Whether a finished basement counts toward your home’s official square footage depends on local rules. Many areas only include below-grade space if it has code-approved egress, fully finished walls, ceilings, and floors, plus consistent heating. 

Check with your local assessor or building department before you start; meeting those standards can affect taxes, appraisals, and resale value.

Building codes require a checklist: dedicated heat and electrical service, a code-approved stairway, and at least one egress window or exterior door. Walls, ceilings, and floors must be fully finished and meet insulation, ventilation, and fire-separation standards. If you add a bedroom, you’ll also need a closet, proper clearances, and safe exits. If you change the layout later, be ready to update the space so every new room still meets today’s code.
