"Jonathan did an amazing job with our bathroom remodel. This was a complete remodel with an oversized shower, patterned ceramic tile, beautiful sliding glass doors, and of course the sink, toilet and flooring. The job was done very well and in good timing. He was very professional and kind. I would highly recommend his team for any work that you may need done! "

"We had Brandon C, Franklin B and Gabriel W come out and fix our basement wall that was leaning in. They did a great job! Very professional, on time, cleaned up after themselves and did it in one day! Would recommend them to anyone!"

"Mosby solved some sticky floor system issues in our 1924-built home. They then went on to design and install fit and finish in a bathroom remodel that we had started ourselves (50/50 gut/rehab). They were happy to install fixtures we had purchased and offered solutions and options for bringing the main floor bath to a great completion. Jake did a great job specing-out the job, liaison between us and the designers and site crew, and following up afterwards. Mosby isn't the cheapest, but they are among the most competent. You pay for the experience and team assets they bring to the job. Frankly, I'd rather pay up front and be done, than continue to pay over and over again because I went with the lowest bid. <br />"

"Had windows replaced by Midtown Home improvements and we are very satisfied with every step of the process, they kept us informed from signing the contract to installation of windows. I was very skeptical of contractors but Midtown Home Improvements won us over, even our building inspector told us they did a great job. We have decided to have Midtown Home Improvements to remodel our bathroom."

"Although I would prefer to just forget our experience with R&R, this review is provided only because of repeated requests from Angie's List to rate R&R Remodeling. I also prefer not to assign specific ratings to R&R for Price, Quality, responsiveness, Punctuality and Professionalism only because I do not know what extenuating circumstances may have caused the way that we were treated on this project, and I am not a judgmental person. I very generously gave them a "C" overall. You can judge for yourselves. Contract was signed for a sun room addition early July 2015. R&R did not obtain permit until October due to incorrect design and failure to expedite the permit process, so construction was delayed from mid Sept until end of Oct. Then R&R could not assure completion by January (when we left town), so rescheduled for June 2016 and instructed R&R to order materials to support new start date. 12 days before scheduled start date began calling R&R - no return calls. 4 days before scheduled start tricked R&R into answering the phone. R&R said they couldn't start because they hadn't ordered materials and superintendent they planned to use had quit. Immediately fired R&R and changed permit to Owner-managed. Obtained services of SK Construction who started 4 days after contract signing - and who provided the most outstanding service possible with respect to Price, Quality, Responsiveness, Punctuality and Professionalism."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Dorsey, 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.
