"Excellent. I can’t say enough about Creative remodeling. We had some extensive ceiling damage from the past hurricane. They repaired the damage and we decided to have them do more custom work on our walls. They also did a custom baseboard and crown molding that is their own design. The work was done in a timely manner and the crew (owners) did the work themselves. We love the outcome. Everything was cleaned daily and they left my home very clean. We are more than happy with Creative remodeling and have already rescheduled more work to done on our home. I highly recommend them."

"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."

"It was amazingly efficient! Everything was on time. The actions of subcontractors are out of the contractors control however Stephanie had great relationships and all the work went smoothly. She came by every day to check on the progress and talk to all the subs. If there were any little issues or items that needed to be tweaked she handled them herself and immediately. Before the work started and to secure payment there was paperwork involved with the mortgage company which Stephanie attended to quickly and efficiently as well. She is super friendly, easy to talk to and work with which is always a bonus. She’s very very, very knowledgeable as well. I recommend her highly!"

"We bought a foreclosed property that we intended to remodel the living room, kitchen and dining room to create a single large open room. In working with Teresa we learned that other parts of the house could be addressed at the same time with significant savings incurred due to contractors being on location, etc. She was right! We ended up transforming the entire house for lees than expected. Teresa kept to schedule in spite of issues cropping up. She provided continuous guidance to keep the overall design integerty in place. A real pleasure to work with. I would recommend anyone planning to remodel, contact Teresa Davis first! <br />"

"Overall, this was a very smooth and stress free experience. Mr. Stewart came out in a very timely fashion to measure the job and speak to me about what I needed. The materials were brought to the job. He arrived at the scheduled time and performed the work. He did a great job and I was very pleased with his professionalism and quality of work. He took his time and made adjustments until it was perfect. Once the job was complete, I noticed the lines around the door were perfectly straight, unlike my old door. I am very happy with the work and I will certainly use him for all of future home repair/ remodeling needs."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Lawtey, 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.
