"We hired Designing Homes to install backsplash in our basement and main kitchen areas. When it came time for us to remodel and update our master bathroom, we called Kaveh again. He has always done outstanding work, kept us notified of the schedule, and provided a warranty on anything he installed. He stood behind that warranty when we noticed an unexpected leak coming from the shower pan. He repaired the issue in a professional manner and kept us informed along the way. His pricing has been extremely competitive and his customer service is top-notch. We will definitely use Designing Homes for more of our future remodeling projects."

"I did not have a chance to use this provider because he called and told me he was injured prior to our scheduled date. When I offered to postpone for a number of months (I was not in a great hurry to get the job done - it was a cosmetic issue), he declined saying that he would be in Florida at that time. He recommended that I contact Angie's List for a full refund. I appreciated his letting me know right away (our scheduled work date was for 3 - 4 weeks away) so that I could find someone else. I want to state that I feel uncomfortable providing any type of rating as he could not do the job, but was required to do so. I scored him at a B as he was good with getting back to me (we played phone tag for a while), but cannot honestly rate his work. <br />"

"Blake and his team are amazing. Angie was so quick to respond and set us up with our consultation. Mike and Blake came right out within a couple of days looked at the project gave us a price and started the work right on time. They were prompt and very clean. We were super happy with the bathroom they help us finish and I definitely would recommend Becker Home Maintence to any of my friends and we definitely be using them in the future. A very satisfied customer."

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.
