"It went wonderfully. On my initial call to Gary, owner of the company, we set an appointment time and day for him to give us an estimate on the pool bath door change-out. Gary arrived on time and gave us a fair price estimate for the labor costs. We hired him because we could see immediately he really knows what he's doing On the day of installation, Gary picked up the new door from the big box store, installed it, and it looks great. He's knowledgeable, professional, courteous and we'll call him again when we do additional improvements."

"Allen and the Strange and Strange team were extremely attentive, detail oriented and kept us updated almost daily on the status of the project, including permitting (which sometimes takes time for the city to process, especially now-a-days). Once the permits were done, they were in and out and added very nice, easy to use accordion shutters to two large sliders/windows."

"This team was excellent in remodeling our master bath. We have several projects planned for our house, and have now contracted with them for another one. Ryan, the main business leader, is thoughtful and patient in discussing details of a job, showing hundreds of photos and bringing many samples until each selection is finalized. Once contracted, he communicated the ongoing plan regularly and let us know when they would be around each day. Stayed on schedule, kept it neat and clean, and the final result was just what we'd hoped for. Highly recommend."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Fort Myers, 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.
