"Keith and his crew opened up my staircase going to the second floor. Before it was just drywall going up and it made the  staircase felt very closed it. Keith and crew came in to take out the drywall and add new newels, spinals and railings. Keith and crew where <b>VERY </b>professional and great to talk with. I am so glad I did this project. It has open the staircase so much nicer and has added value to the house already. Keith and crew did a wonderful and professional job. Everything looks great. I would recommend Keith for any project.

"Dwight from Cornerstone Construction is the REAL deal! I am probably one of the pickiest people when it comes to contractors. I have never liked a single one, but Dwight is absolutely wonderful. They have remodeled our entire kitchen (removed our whole old kitchen and replaced it with a brand new kitchen including appliances, exhaust, backsplash, etc) - it looks perfect, which I NEVER say. I have no conflict of interest....I am tired of contractors who don't do a good job so when I found Dwight, I was ecstatic. I have used his company for the build out of my medical office and always refer our friends and family to him."

"Phillips Construction is the only contractor I have used since relocating to FL, and I have no intention of using any other. In all my years as a civil engineer working in construction, I have never worked with a more professional contractor, and only very few as professional. All company personnel are extremely professional, courteous, and personable. The attention to detail in the work performed is truly outstanding. Exceptional clean-up is a matter of fact with the personnel. Always on time and true to their word, they are a pleasure to have around your home. I have no complaint whatever with rates on any of the 3 jobs performed for me, and I consider them to be very reasonable for the outstanding work performed. <br /> <br />"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Lake Helen, 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.
