"I tried calling a number of plumbers on Friday night for work to be done first thing Monday morning. They were all just answering services. Angiâ  s List estimated $420. One of the others wanted $89 just to come to the house. It was 10:00 at night and Gabe answered the phone. He asked me a few questions and gave me a probable diagnosis right over the phone. He came to the house first thing Monday morning no charge. The job turned out to be bigger than either of us expected. He showed me everything that was wrong. He and his crew fixed it beautifully. They were very respectful of my home and cleaned up after themselves. (They even cleaned up after the handyman who was there the day before!) It only ended up costing $150 but it was well worth it. Way better than Angiâ  s estimate of $420. I hope I donâ  t need a plumber ever again but if I do, Iâ  m calling Gabeâ  s Construction and Restoration. Thanks Gabe!"

"Wade removed my crumbling aggregate porch steps and replaced them with a wood set. I'm very pleased. His communication and promptness were great. He told me exactly what he planned to do and gave me a quote right away. Based on my experience, I'd definitely recommend Hansen Building & Renovations."

"Had bill and chris here for a storm door replacement. The door looks great, closes easily no complaints. Bill and chris were polite and respectful. Sure appreciate their efforts and quality craftsmanship and willingness to provide home improvement services especially during this covid19 period. Will absolutely ask for them both again for the next project"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Coal Valley, 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.
