For over 25 years, our family has represented the interest of the policyholder before, during and after a loss. As a strategic partner to a highly select worldwide clientele and their professional advisors, we help manage the risks to financial recovery following an insurance-related loss. Our full-service concierge program encompasses pre-loss planning, crisis management, handling insurance claims and coordinating property reconstruction. If you experience a loss, our experienced staff of licensed professionals analyze and adjust losses fairly and efficiently. Clients typically recover amounts substantially higher (more than 700% higher, as seen in the 10-06 OPPAGA report) than their insurance companies offered to pay them. When a loss occurs, you deserve a fast, full settlement of your claim so you can focus on your family, your business, your life. Drawing on decades of experience, GlobalPro represents the interests of our select clientele, offering a fully coordinated approach to managing these risks to recovery. That is the GlobalPro difference!

"Quality Work By People Who Care" Remodeling, Framing, Drywall, Painting and more..... We Work Third Shift! Residential / Commercial. Licensed and Insured. 24 hours service. Free estimates provided (verbal)

"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."

From Initial Design to Completed Project and all steps in between, MHS is structured to attend to every aspect of your Building or Remodeling project.

"If you want your job done at all, find a different company. Between March 1 and April 30, 2019, we provided more than $25,000 to MHS per their schedule for our garage-to-living conversion. We acted in good faith, choosing to believe they would uphold their end of the agreement. I mean, that's what good people do and why contracts exist. As of today, we have had our home left open and unsecured for more than 40 days with no schedule for work to be continued or performed. They ignore our phone calls, texts, and emails. They ignore the phone calls, texts, and emails from subcontractors. Their websites are down. Subcontractors have notified us that MHS has not paid them for the work they’ve performed. At this point in time, we’ve come to two possible conclusions: they’ve spent our money on other projects and now have no way to pay for ours, or they’re intentionally delaying our project. This is not a comprehensive narrative of the issues we are facing with this company, just the gist."

24 hour Emergency Service for Water, Fire! Smoke, Mold- Residential/Commercial. Full Service Emergency capabilities from board ups to soft contents to repairing your damage back to pre loss condition

"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."

Basement Remodel questions, answered by experts

Adding an extension or addition to your home costs more than a loft conversion in all but the rarest cases where the home's structural integrity is lacking. Because a home addition requires a new foundation section or significant structural upgrades to handle a cantilevered portion, the cost compared to almost any loft conversion is significantly greater for the same square footage.

Finishing a basement normally takes four to eight weeks, but the timeline depends on the size of your basement, your contractor's availability, and the extent of finishing work. Framing the basement will take three to five days, while adding electrical and rough-in plumbing can be another three to five days. Adding drywall can take five days, and floor installation can take two to three days. Final touches, like painting and adding trim, will take another week.

When considering finishing your basement, take into account a few pros and cons:

Pros

  • Can increase the value of your home

  • Separate space from the rest of the house 

  • Customize and personalize the basement to suit your needs and style

  • Increase the amount of living space in your home

Cons

  • May not regain enough value to cover the cost of finishing

  • Lack of natural light if it’s below ground level

  • Moisture or flooding can cause costly damage

  • Installing plumbing and electrical can be messy and costly

Although it’s not required, air ventilation in a finished basement can help improve the air quality, prevent moisture and mold issues, keep musty odors away, and also maintain the air quality throughout the rest of your home. Proper ventilation will help maintain the value of your investment in finishing your basement. Try basement ventilation methods like installing vents or a dehumidifier for best results.

Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.
