Customers say: Super punctual

"Angelo Pecoraro, the owner of A.P. Builder, was a pleasure to work with from start to finish on our major remodeling project of adding a sunroom to our home. Out of many contractors I called to get an estimate, he was the only one willing to provide options to have the project fit our budget. Once we agreed to move forward, he worked diligently with the architect and village to get the permits finalized (which is a difficult task in my town). Once the work started, he provided almost daily updates of the work that will be completed and any anticipated inspections (which we passed easily). He also reached out himself to finalize details from big items like windows to small ones like the molding. The result was a beautiful sunroom and deck which I receive compliments on regularly. Do yourself a favor and for your next major home remodel/renovation work with Angelo and A.P. Builder!"

His team completed our renovation on time, kept the workspace clean, and communicated with us every step of the way. The quality of the craftsmanship exceeded our expectations, and you can truly tell they take pride in their work.

"We could not be happier with the results. From the start we were impressed with Nick and his team. They pointed out big problems with our original plan that all the other contractors we spoke to missed and we worked together to transform the basement into a beautiful space while still retaining a large amount of storage space. Nick brought excellent ideas from his experience and provided options for us to choose from. He caught details we overlooked and helped us avoid mistakes. The crew was knowledgeable, courteous, professional, and hard working. What I appreciated most was how attentive they were to our project. There were no delays and everything ended up on time and on budget which is so rare these days. Plus they are just a pleasure to work with. I strongly recommend Nick’s Home Remodeling and we'll bring them back for all work on our home."

"Working with Jason was a great experience. I wanted a kitchen that was made for cooking as well as hanging out with the cook. One wall needed to come down and the 80's style drop down ceiling had to go. A complete gut was the only way to go.
I went to the super expensive interior design studios and took some pictures of things I liked. Jason was able to find high quality cabinets at a fraction of the price. He really hit the nail on the head.
Once the cabinets were shipped, demolition began. The floor became an issue since our old tile was stuck down so hard it took a jack hammer. Since the slab was all dented, we'd need to level the floor, so I thought it would be cool to do concrete instead of tile. Jason thought about it and liked the idea and he hunted down a subcontractor. I'm really happy with the final result.
The counters and backsplash tile were exactly what I wanted.
The centerpiece is a rolling butcher block island that Jason built from scratch. It replaced an old heavy boxy island. The new island is nimble enough to move around the kitchen as needed. The craftsmanship is amazing. It's really a beautiful and functional piece.
To add a little flair, an artist friend and I got together with Jason to design a rusted steel vent-a-hood cover. This wasn't all planned ahead, it just evolved through dialog. That was the best part of working with Rapid Remodeling, everyone in the crew (Josh and Israel) was very artistic and we thought along the same lines. The end result was a collaboration that far exceeded the original design.
And as an added bonus, the crew even let our dogs out while we were away. They are all dog lovers, that's a good thing!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Big Rock, IL

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.
