"Boz Construction is my go-to contractor for repairs and renos on my condo. They've repainted many of my rooms, and have done a complete remodel of my lower level living room to divide it and add a bedroom - the attention to detail is so good that you can't tell that it wasn't part of the original construction. They have also managed other minor repairs to my unit and some bigger maintenance projects for my condo building itself. While they might be more expensive than their competitors, what I've learned in this sector is that you get what you pay for and with Boz, it's been worth it."

"I am so grateful to Grandview Construction for our beautiful, new kitchen and master shower! They also painted our entire first floor including the trim. Our experience with Jeremy and his wonderful crew was A+mazing! Their workmanship was excellent, and Jeremy was very communicative and responsive throughout the entire process. The crew was friendly, professional and clearly experts at what they do. One of them has almost 30 years of experience in the industry. Jeremy and his crew provided many helpful details about the project from start to finish and was quick to let us know if any issues arose. When they had to make any adjustments they explained the reasons and were very patient in answering all of our questions and since this was our very first kitchen remodel we had a lot of questions. The project was completed on time and stayed within the very fair competitive estimate he gave us in the beginning, and we could not be happier with the gorgeous finished product. We will work with them on any other project we might do on our home, and I would recommend Grandview Construction without any reservation to anyone who is looking for a dependable and honest general contractor to work on their house."

"I had the pleasure of working with Mike, a general contractor for my multi-unit investment property on the northwest side of Chicago. Mike demonstrated a strong vision for how to add value to the property, offering creative solutions (adding livable square footage to the attic unit for a duplex up) that made a significant impact. His attention to detail and ability to identify areas for improvement helped enhance the property's after rehab value, all while staying within budget.

His professionalism and efficiency were unmatched, making the project run smoothly from start to finish. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled, and thoughtful contractor."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Chicago, IL

While the terms remodeling, renovating, and finishing are often used interchangeably, there are some differences. Remodeling your basement transforms the space by changing its layout, adding new features, or altering its function. Renovating restores the existing space to like-new condition without major structural changes. Finishing converts an unfinished basement into a livable area with walls, ceilings, and flooring.

A full basement remodel typically takes two to six weeks, depending on the project's complexity and any unforeseen challenges. Factors like design changes, permitting, and material availability can affect the timeline, as well as the availability of the contractors you’re working with. Remember that the bigger the project, the longer it will take to complete.

Remodeling your basement is not just about gaining extra space—it's a savvy investment. You can expect around a 70% return on investment (ROI), comparable to other major home improvements like kitchen or bathroom remodels. Adding functional living space boosts your home's value and appeals to potential buyers. Plus, converting your basement into a rental apartment could provide additional income, increasing your return even more.
