"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."

"Was told that due to the hurricane we had to pay them upfront, which we did, and then we were responsible to submit the expense to our insurance company for reimbursement, which we did. What surprised me was that they charged us $127.84 for the estimate, as well as $1,550 for tarping ( 1-20x30 tarp = 600 sq.ft, 1- 20x40 tarp = 800 sq.ft at $1.00/sq ft., and 30 sandbags at $5.00 each). I asked if they would deduct the estimate charge since we were paying them right then and there to install the tarps but I was told that those were separate charges. On October 13, 2017 I wrote a check for $1,677.84. We were told that the tarps would be installed "sometime over that weekend", which they were. Unfortunately they didn't cover the hole over the garage and we came home to find 3-5" of water in a bucket as well as water all over the floor. I called the estimator immediately but no one showed up to the house the next day. Once I called the office someone came to reposition the tarps. Then on October 25th we came home to find the tarps had blown off our roof. I called PDR and was told that the authorization I signed states: "I acknowledge that the temporary repairs do not carry any guarantee". Unfortunately I didn't see that line when I signed digitally on the estimators IPhone. Shame on me. Advice: Print out the agreement before signing! Several calls back and forth to my insurance company and I learned that they would pay for reinstalling the tarps but that I DID NOT HAVE TO USE PDR and to get whomever I could so that the leaks wouldn't spread. I called my roofer, who came out the next morning (October 26th) and watched while one man spent half the morning cleaning up the tarps, removing the sandbags and then put tar on numerous areas over the entire roof. Then on November 13th I received a call from our insurance company asking about an invoice they received from PDR for $1,300 for reinstalling the tarps on our roof. "WHAT?" I said. They didn't reinstall the tarps! The end of the story is as frustrating as the beginning. I learned today (Feb. 12, 2018) that Paul Davis Restoration resubmitted an invoice and my insurance company paid them for services THAT THEY DID NOT DO. I have proof, pictures and an invoice from the company who DID the repairs. It's hard enough to get through the emotional stress of a hurricane, but even more disturbing when you have to fight for your right as an insured individual. Fortunately for us, only 1 of the 5 contractors we used did us wrong."

"Stylecraft designed all of our cabinets throughout the house. From the custom open kitchen, bar and all of our bathrooms. We received the highest quality customer service from Dave and his team. They gave our project the attention to detail it needed and were courteous and careful with all the other projects that were going on at the same time. They were able to give us a detailed drawing of all of our cabinets, which in return helped us choose our hardware and countertops. I can't say enough about my fabulous kitchen drawers and cabinets. It truly is a dream kitchen and I would gladly contact Stylecraft for any future projects."

"Job unfinished. Dreamworks repeatedly bills us for work never performed. Quick to send a bill, they are equally unresponsive when problems exist. Serious lack of communication between bosses and workers who often show up unsure what is expected of them to do. Decisions are made two, three, four times as they shuttle different workers onto the site who are unaware of prior decisions. We are on our 4th project manager. Multiple instances of issues caught by us the homeowners before they became bigger problems. Even worse when they know a problem exists and what the proper way to fix it is, Dreamworks will look to the owner and say, "What do you think?" hoping the owner will not want something be fixed properly. Scope of the work consisted of switching a laundry room and bathroom, closing off a doorway, new flooring and a master closet. Our project has gone on for over a year and still no end in site. I would not recommend Dreamworks to my worst enemy. Far from a dream, they are a nightmare."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Okeechobee, 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.
