"Thank you for coming to see what the problem was. Our furnace was 15 year old and for the past few years we have had to spend a lot of money to fix it. It went out on the coldest days and I was scared my pips were going to bust. They were able to replace it right away. They also made sure to give me the pamphlet to register the Warranty. I’m very grateful and I recommend them to anyone that needs a new furnace."

"We called, Alex came out that afternoon, had a bid the next day for the screening. The next day he had a bid on the chimneys. He and a partner began the work and finished in a week. They cleaned up each day, and hauled away trash. Very nice to work with and very thorough. Yes, I would hire again."

"It went well, I hired him, he had to rebuild a lot and he worked non stop until the job was finished & saved me thousands of dollars, He cleaned up before he left & I was very happy, and Mark has done more work for me since & if he can't make it on time, he lets me know, I have more work Mark will be doing for me, as soon as weather permits. .People I trust to do what they say they will do are hard to find, and so glad I lucked out with finding a person that keeps his word and I can trust. Thank you Mark"

"We recently had our 1,000 sq ft basement remodeled, including the addition of a small bar and a new bathroom, and the results are fantastic. The craftsmanship and attention to detail really stand out. The bar looks great and is both functional and stylish, and the bathroom was finished beautifully with quality materials. Temo was professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire project. He stayed on schedule, kept the work area clean, and made the whole process stress-free. Our basement has been completely transformed into an inviting, usable space, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Highly recommend!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Durand, 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.
