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

"It took 22 weeks for HydroTech Pools to compete our pool and deck. During this lengthy process, they were inexplicably uncommunicative and unapologetic for the delays. Crews came and went with weeks of waiting in between and the whole job was rarely supervised. There were a number of mishaps ... piles of fill left for months, construction garbage left at the side of the house, an empty pool left empty with no caution barrier, people showing up to install equipment that hadn't been delivered. While we watched other pool companies completing two comparable pools nearby in less than 13 weeks, it was a frustrating experience for us as seasonal residents with limited time in Florida. The job failed several inspections and it took them additional weeks to remedy these minor issues. Towards the end of the project, we sent them a respectful letter highlighting some of the issues that had occurred and making a few constructive suggestions. The owner was completely unresponsive. While the pool looks fine so far, it wasn't worth the hassle with all the other pool companies out there. We cannot recommend this company."

"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.
