I am an Angie's List Super Service Award Winner and a Certified General Contractor (FLlic#CGC1507887) specializing in home additions and remodeling serving Destin and surrounding areas since 1980. My estimates are free and my contracts are written. I am punctual and my work is neat, clean, and most excellent.

"Working with David was an excellent experience. We did an unusual garage addition, and if you hadn't seen the before - the addition flowed so smoothly you would never know it was done. From start to finish, he kept us updated with the daily work to be performed. The various contracted crews we're all exceptional, picked up after each days work, and showed up on time. The job came in within 10% of initial budget, and with todays economy I'm grateful! I wouldn't hesitate to hire him for our next renovation! Chris Schaefer"

I started this business when my wife was pregnant with our first. She is now coming up on 5 years old. We recently relocated to Okaloosa county Florida. We are here to stay. I have been in the residential construction line of work for 12 years. I love what I do!

I love showing the final product and seeing the look on the clients face when we finish! At the end of each job I can say to myself ( we upgraded not just their home, but their lives.) History: I have been In this line of work for 12 years now. I have stuck with it because I like it. the first job I had in the trade, I knew that I better pay attention to all of my mentors. I knew from day one that I wanted to do this for myself one day! I started out doing side jobs while still employed. Eventually I saved enough to invest into the things I needed for start up. I pulled the trigger and never looked back!

"Completely renovated my bathroom as well as my kitchen. Did an amazing job. Marcus was very communicative and professional. I'm in love with my renovations and will definitely hire again."

Sam never showed up and there was no communication that he wouldn't be showing nor any explanation as to why he didn't show up. Extremely disappointed with Aspire homes and Angi's for recommended this company."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Although homeowners often use the terms basement remodeling and basement finishing interchangeably, they are quite different terms. 

Finishing a basement is the process of taking a basement space that is not habitable and adding elements to make it usable. This includes adding plumbing, flooring, and insulation.

Remodeling a basement means taking an already existing finished basement and changing it, often by adding or removing walls, adding plumbing, or changing the existing flooring.

Lifting a house and adding a basement is one way to add usable square footage. Lifting or jacking a house is a complex process, and it can be expensive, not to mention that you won’t be able to live in your house while it’s lifted, due to safety concerns. Lifting a house should only be done by experienced professionals.

Unless you have extensive experience in construction work, remodeling a basement is best left to a professional. There are several tasks associated with this project that require exact precision, including:

  • Replacing insulation 

  • Replacing carpet or other flooring 

  • Adding heating and cooling

  • Adjusting or adding walls and doors

  • Altering or adding plumbing elements

If any of these elements is done incorrectly, it could severely impact the quality of your basement remodel and be dangerous. Changing a basement often comes with code safety requirements, like egress windows and proper ventilation. Therefore, leaving it up to a professional is often the best decision.

Generally, a wall can bow up to 30% of its thickness, or around 2.5 inches for an 8-inch-thick structure, before it becomes an urgent situation. If your basement wall bows more than 1 inch, it's time to have a basement inspection to determine if a repair is necessary, depending on the soil conditions and structural specifics. Walls nearing 4 inches of bowing will require significant repairs. More than 6 inches of bowing usually means the wall will need replacing.

Yes, you’ll use a macerator pump to install a basement bathroom without breaking concrete. The purpose of breaking into concrete is to connect the drain pipes to the main sewer line. But a macerator pump will bypass this step and break up solids until they are soft enough to pass through a discharge pipe. That pipe will carry the waste to the sewage line.
