"Very happy with the work that was done -- driveway, sidewalks, and new front stoop. They were very helpful and accommodating as we made adjustments to our original design. Most other companies were scheduling weeks or months out, but Apex got back to me right away and finished the job quickly and on time as promised. Concrete is expensive, so be prepared to pay a lot, but I would highly recommend them and would definitely hire them again."

"I want to start by saying I rarely write reviews. In this case, I definitely wanted to make an exception. I cannot say enough good things about the experience we have had so far with Troy and his entire crew. We had an idea of what we wanted to do but was not sure exactly how much of that was realistic, especially considering we were trying to stay within our budget. Over the course of the project, I threw them plenty of curveballs with changes along the way. Not once was I told it could not be done. At times there was going to be an added cost but that was expected, explained upfront, and always more than fair. He also made sure to point out if there was a smarter more economical way to accomplish the same thing we were going for. It was incredibly exciting to see how much they accomplished in a days work. We could not wait to get home after work to see the progress and we were never disappointed. Communication was tremendous. I was always kept informed about when they would be there and what to expect timing-wise. The project moved fast. Much faster than we anticipated and that was greatly appreciated since we were living in the basement waiting for the project to get to the point we could move upstairs. They completely remodeled the kitchen, took out a couple of walls, installed the wood flooring throughout the main level, painted the walls, ceiling and baseboards, moved light switches, changed out and moved some can lighting, installed new light fixtures, refaced the fireplace, installed new stair railing and stairs and much more that I cannot even remember. In other words they can do it all. Our current project is almost complete. Perhaps the best recommendation we can make is that we are actually looking forward to the next project! We had such a good experience with Troy, Greg and his crew that we are now planning on remodeling the bathrooms too. There is also no question on who we will use. I will try to put up some pictures so everyone can see their excellent work. I only wish I had thought to take some *before* pictures so you could see the drastic changes."

"The remodel went great. Joe and his crew were friendly and prompt. They did the work in a timely fashion and were very good at communicating about the project. They did an amazing job transforming our bathroom. They replaced a vanity, walls, put in a tub and tiled. They also laid vinyl flooring and installed lights. We were impressed and thrilled with how quickly they worked and with the finished project. We would hire them again for another renovation. Please check them out."

"I purchased an old home that needed extensive work, particularly flooring. Two rooms downstairs and the entire upstairs needed all new floors, some with remediation of sub surfaces. All the work was done beautifully, on time, and on budget."

"Carpet restreched for every room in three bedroom ranch home. The project objective was to remove ripples in the carpets which had developed due to initial poor installation - home builder / carpet dealer would not stand behind their installation. This contractor was very honest and professional - project started and completed on time within cost estimates."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Deer-Creek, 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.
