"Allen and his team were very professional and responsible from the beginning of the project to the end of it. They performed an amazing job installing the wood floor for our Master bedroom. They exceeded our expectations and we’re really happy with the final result."

"I have always done all of things around my house (not any more).  John was very professional, did a GREAT job and charged an extremely fair price.  From the time he came for the estimate to the moment that he finished for the day, because he has pride in his work, he and his helper made me feel comfortable that they would complete the job as though it was their home.
My wife and I are selling our home and wanted to give our 4 bedroom colonial (9 rooms plus 3 baths plus 2-story foyer and basement) a fresh coat of paint.  Prepared to do it myself, my wife asked me to first check Angie's List for any specials.  I found a deal from John for 2 painters for 4 hours at a great price.   I made an appointment for John to come for an estimate and, since he gave me a great 8 hour price, I agreed for him to come for a whole day.  He contacted me before the scheduled date, to confirm the date and to remind me of my prep and paint responsibilities (which was a big help because I would have probably forgotten).
I figured that I would try him for a day, to make my wife happy, then I would just go ahead and finish the house myself.  What a mistake!  I should have booked him for the week!  At the end of the day, he completed more than what was agreed to, left the rooms exactly as he found them (great cleanup) and when I asked him for more days, he was booked for the near future, but will try to fit me in when he has a cancellation.
Bottom line, I would highly recommend John Chinnici Painting/Plus.  (Please do not book him until he finishes my house).

"I could not be more happy with the Professionalism and absolute caring that went into the Remodel of the inside of my home. Everyone on the team were polite, cleaned up after themselves, even taking careful consideration of the fact that I had an elderly mom with Alzheimer’s and dementia living in the house while the work was being done, as you can imagine, they sometimes had to deal with things that were not in their job description, but they were kind, compassionate, and understanding all throughout the long process. I could never think of using anyone else Frank Nico, Laura, Josh, and many more of their team team, all extremely professional on time every day and a joy to be around they felt more like family by the time they were done. I would highly recommend them to anyone for any construction job They will do the the job fast fair and absolutely beautiful results! Five out of five doesn’t seem to be enough I say they’re 10 out of 10!!!"

"wonderful from the beginning to the end he was wonderful to work with and he help me to choose the crown molding and he use his vehicle. He painted it and brought it with a man when time to install it and they installed it all, clean up after themselves. He was reasonable as far as the price concern I was so vey happy and He was a nice man, conscientious and I will hire him again in a heartbeat."

Michael Lane has been out to my house several times to measure and answer all of my questions.     However, since the work has not yet been done, Ii really can't "finish" this story at this time.     I feel confident that he will do a good job and that I'll be pleased, but the jury is still out at this time.

The job was completed in June of 2013, and I was absolutely DELIGHTED!    All of the new windows and doors are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!     Plus, the resulting noise reduction in my house is unbelievable.

I had a few minor issues, but Michael took care of them to my complete satisfaction.   

In the highly unlikely case that I'd buy another house that needed windows and doors, I would absolutely hire him again and, if I happen to learn of anyone looking for these services, I would recommend him "hands down" above anyone else.   He is a really good guy -  very honest, trustworthy, and reliable.

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.
