"I can not speak highly enough of Jason Everetts. He was honest, professional, communicative, reliable. A pleasure to work with. Jason managed independent contractors (like flooring install) as well as did his own work (painting, doors trim, etc). Went above and beyond - picking up material, taking care of small unplanned details, etc. without additional cost. NO expensive "change orders". There were more problem's with this remodel - none Jason's fault - than with any other project I have done. But Jason dealt with each issue successfully and enthusiastically. As an absentee owner (I live in Orlando) it was a pleasure to have Jason take care of the project. His price was extremely fair. Worth every penny. I have done several remodels. None has had a better manager than Jason. I would use him again in a heartbeat. He gets the highest recommendation I could give. If you want someone to do a great job at a fair price, and communicate with you... then choose Jason!"

"Cody and Bert did a great job. The job began on time and stayed on budget. Both gentlemen were very willing to explain and take input while the project progressed. We are thrilled with the work that was completed. They went above and beyond at the end of each day by thoroughly cleaning up the work area. We are already making plans to hire them for our next project. Thanks Guys!!! Job well done!"

"Merrell was a very nice guy who came off as able to do just about anything. After we signed a contract and the work started, first payment made, we started to notice he had bought material far in excess of what was needed (insulation, tile pieces, sealant). Additionally, he was very wasteful with buckets of mortar. He also rushed work as in trying to seal grout before it had fully cured. In regards to his wood work, I am looking at a fireplace mantel with several uneven cuts. He never completed the framing in of the bathroom window so will need to hire someone else to do that. He had us schedule the shower glass people prior to his completion so they were unable to measure and had to come back another day. Most days he worked 4 hours or less, so lots of disruptions. Help from the homeowner was needed on several occasions, though he didn't ask for it but he was getting bogged down. In the roughly 100 hours he spent on the projects, there was a lot of down time. His crew was working on another project that seemed to be a distraction for him. Overall, the projects are now left unfinished and looking for another contractor to reliably complete them."

"Called for septic pumping. Company was late for first time frame. Have a later time and missed that one as well showed up an hr and a half later. No greeting when they arrived, just jumped out and started dragging hoses to the tanks. Tanks were already opened by us. No discount for opening tanks. Upon finishing they had no cement to seal the lids( they ran out). While dragging hoses back to truck they leaked sewage out of every hose(black and very noticeable) when I asked if they had some lime to spread over the spills they said they ran out of that as well. Lime and cement are required by the Health Department on all septic trucks. This review in no way means I would not use this company again, only that this company should take the time to train their employees how to properly represent the company."

"What a great experience with David and Cathy from Elite Construction !!! Our master bathroom was dated and sad and now it's gorgeous. As with any large project there were a couple little hiccups but they promptly took care of everything and made sure everything was up to our expectations. They were always in communication with what was going to happen next and everyone we met was top notch. We absolutely will use them again for any future projects and we LOVE OUR NEW BATHROOM !!!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Jacksonville, 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.
