"I am very happy with the work they did. They were able to find new replacement wood for my 17 year old floor and it matched perfectly! They did such a good job you can't even tell where the old floor boards and the new floor boards meet. I was very happy with the quality of the work and the overall professionalism of everyone involved. I would definitely recommend them."

"We hired Randall after checking reviews on Angie's List, Nextdoor and checking the BBB. There was nothing but praise for the work he had done for people. We came to an agreement on price and the work started fine. After a short time he started showing up less and less and the project drug out. We kept giving draws every time he asked for money until most of the work was paid for, though not complete. On July 27th Randall asked for another $1000, thank goodness it took a little while for my wife to get a break so she could write a check, when she took it down to him all of his tools, etc., were gone. He left the job unfinished (about 75% complete) and when we gave him notice of abandonment he replied by email to sue him but we wouldn't get much from a defunct company with no assets. The stucco was not finished, the door that was installed was not sealed around frame (open to the elements), electrical unfinished, water faucet not installed, screen pool cage frame and screen not replaced, holes in wall not repaired, balcony rail not complete, balusters not compliant or grouted, gutter not reattached, lights in pantry and under balcony not installed, trim around kitchen window not installed, French door hanging loose, hinge screws not tightened, and none of the painting has been completed. Then there is the damage to other items from not protecting them while work was performed such as stucco globs all over the poos deck, the pool deck drain is blocked by stucco and or concrete, pavers brick missing (don't know where that went, it was there when work started), stucco and grout left in the yard what was St. Augustine. I am sure there are things I missed, but this shows Mr. Anderson is not of the same character as he was at some point in the past."

"DO NOT use Personal Touch Contracting. My master bathroom remodel took 9 weeks to be completed after Jeff stated it was a 4-week project. There was no “personal touch” to their services. Communication was minimal, details were overlooked frequently and had to be brought to Jeff’s attention and overall, the quality of work was lacking. My husband and I decided to fix the final painting issues (horrible texture job on the wall and a small hole in the wall behind the toilet) ourselves rather than have anyone from this company return to do the work. Jeff had to be pressed to accept any responsibility for the many wrong turns in this job. He allowed hundreds of dollars of materials to be ordered that were not needed, although once really confronted with this case, he did admit he did not review the invoice from the tile company before I made the purchase and offered to pay for the overages. He also approved a tub filler to be ordered which did not work in the space and cost several days of the project time waiting for the correct filler to be ordered and arrive. I cannot stress enough, there are many contracting companies out there, please make a better choice then I did and do not use Personal Touch Contracting."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Lake Monroe, 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.
