"We hired Jakubek Remodeling after getting quotes from several other contractors to completely remodel our basement. They were the most attentive, detailed, and professional. We were happy to see that Robert and Dawid maintained their top tier service level throughout the life of the project. The Jakubek team worked quickly and skillfully, and were all very respectful while working in our home. The final product is beyond our expectations, and it was really stunning to see them turn our dream into reality. The best part of working with Jakubek was the transparency as the project progressed, and clear and consistent communication from day 1 until project completion. We are very happy that we selected Jakubek to transform our basement, and overall it was a very positive experience."

"My basement turned out amazing! Full bathroom installed, including 3-person sauna. Electrical work, lightening, painting, drywall and matte finish black ceiling all turned out fantastic! Gordan’s crew were all terrific. Professional, hard working, and always cleaned up before leaving for the night. Highly recommend!"

"The JK Complete Remodeling team is very talented. They helped me design the basement remodel (about 1000 sq feet) with a bathroom, bedroom, kitchen/bar, tv area, storage, coat closet and kids area including building it all out. They walked us through the different steps of the build out and made wonderful suggestions on what would look best or makes the most sense in layout, electrical switches/outlets, etc. Their carpentry, tiling and stone work is impressive as you can see from the pictures. They built the shelves and wine rack in the bar area, built the frame around the chalkboard paint in the kids area, built out a closet into our garage space. I would highly recommend this professional team."

"KSR has done 2 jobs at my home (a full bath remodel and a basement living room) both excellent work! Very easy to communicate with. Work was completed on the established timeline (even a little quicker than expected). Good attention to small details. Would definitely recommend to others."

"We recently had our basement bathroom redone due to water damage from broken water pipes. It was a pleasure working with Angelo and his team who were all very professional and experienced. Angelo was in constant contact and made sure that all work was performed to my satisfaction."

"I called KCS on a Friday, and Damion was at my house on Monday, and he gave me a quote for my floor, painting my livingroom, and changing my ceiling fan on a 17ft ceiling. I accepted, one because of his promptness, and his numbers fell in line with my budget. His crew was at my house on Thursday, and completely finished with everything in a week! They were friendly, professional, and each day they left my house it was clean! If I could give 10 stars I would! I am super pleased with the work, and I look forward to using his services in the spring to complete my upcoming projects. Thank you for everything, I can't toot your horn any louder! You're truly the best!"

"As usual - excellent - you could not ask for a better man working on your house.  He is a highly skilled craftsman, but stays humble - and willing to do any work needed to help further our remodel.  You will not go wrong with James!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Burlington, 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.
