"We hired Dana King to build our garage and we were so pleased by the result we hired them to remodel our kitchen. Dana and her team do an excellent job communicating throughout the construction project, keeping to their budget, and their designs are simply beautiful. We couldn't be happier with their work to make our home a place of tranquility."

"Shawn and his guys do amazing work. From the first time I met him, I knew he was honest and professional in what he does. There was a problem with flooring issue during the job and he fixed it for me. Just today, I had an issue with my doors sticking and he came to fix it. He is a stand up guy for sure. I would recommend his work to anyone if you are looking for a high quality product at a great price!"

Hello there! I'm a Saint Charles/Saint Louis native and an experienced carpenter and remodeller of 17 years! Been in my own business since 2022. I love to do beautiful work at reasonable prices. I am focused on design-minded small construction and carpentry--this means that I am not primarily so focused on flashy features and the newest updates, and more focused on how I can create a project with you that makes sense with your specific house and it's architectural design. I love working with wood the most but really love doing most anything on a home and happy to do handyman work here and there as well. Please reach out so we can start a conversation! I'm happy to offer advice on how to navigate the construction industry or send you phone numbers of other great guys if you need other services. I focus on approachability and a down to earth experience. I love doing good work, i'm easy to deal with and show up when I say I will. Would love to work with you!

Customers say: Quick response

"Used them to manage 5 properties in the Cahokia area. Briant is a nice guy, but needs lots of work for his company to grow. Communication is lousy. Quotes for work orders look like they were gotten off the first page of Google. Tenants complain about communication and work done as well. For a company that?s supposed to make your load easy, they have to be nursed to get stuff done. I got my properties back in November 2024 and it took them till February to get my first tenants in? and we only get tenants because of my marketing recommendations. Monthly reports for income and expenses are never accurate, numbers are missing/skewed. When confronting them about the issue, they say they are going to look into it but they take their sweeet time. I switched over to a different management company who keeps me posted on EVERYTHING. I had to call Briant every day just to get security deposits in my hands, and I?m still in the process of trying to get my rents from this company "

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in East Saint Louis, 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.
