"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."

"Cutting Edge replaced about 2,000 lineal feet of wood fencing at the entrance to our subdivision and did an incredible job. Their communication was great, they worked with us on modifying the design to meet suggestions of some homeowners, and delivered a great looking product. The employees were very courteous and kept the work area very neat and clean. Thornehill Owners Association"

"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."

"The process was painless. Scott worked with my schedule to perform a preconstruction visit and establish a proposal. His worked with me to establish what work was needed. His background is extensive in construction, including a construction degree from UF.His pricing was very fair, and he was flexable to meet my schedule. His crews arrivied on-time and performed quality work. The crews were friendly and nice. Scott performed multiple quality control visits, and responded to my requests imediately. The finish product was done on time and looks very good. I highly recomend Scott Nelson LLC. <br />"

"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 />"

"Steve examined the problem with the toilet and diagnosed it immediately. He fixed the problem and also adjusted the handle and chain so that it is now not leaking and it flushes easily. After looking at how the pair of doors lined up with the deadbolt, he made the appropriate adjustments so they would lock. He also adjusted the doors so they would open and close smoothly. With both of these problems, he fixed the problem and in addition went beyond the immediate issues to ensure that the toilet and doors were working as well overall as they were meant to perform."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Micanopy, 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.
