"I called Grand Improvements they came to next day gave me a fair price and fixed everything the big famous company damaged and wouldn't do. He installed a new kitchen faucet hooked everything up even fixed the problem with the dishwasher that Home Depot installers didn't do right! Very professional and knowledgeable at a fair price. If you want something done right the first time this is the company to call!"

"Allen and the Strange and Strange team were extremely attentive, detail oriented and kept us updated almost daily on the status of the project, including permitting (which sometimes takes time for the city to process, especially now-a-days). Once the permits were done, they were in and out and added very nice, easy to use accordion shutters to two large sliders/windows."

"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).

"Neeko called me back quickly after looking for a wallpaper installer on a time crunch with a quick install. He came out the day he called and within a week we had our wallpaper installed and ready to go before the parade of homes! I will continue to use him in my design business!"

"Our kitchen remodel went extremely well. We are very pleased with Ryan's work, his attention to detail and the expertise he demonstrated in every aspect of the remodel - design, construction, electrical, plumbing, cabinet and countertops, installation of appliances. Design is an iterative process and Ryan worked closely with us to make changes as appropriate along the way to build out our dream kitchen. Jackson Builders is a family owned business and it shows. Everyone is used to work together and the small crew did great work and always left the site cleaned every night. I highly recommend Jackson Builders based on our experience with our kitchen remodel."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Fort Myers, 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.
