"I can't say enough about A P Builders and how absolutely wonderful they have been from start to finish. We completely gutted and remodeled our home and Angelo was upfront, honest, timely, and everything that was contracted was done to perfection. We had crew there every day from start to finish. He started on time and finished on time. Any change orders were handled professionally and solutions were found for any unforeseen challenges due to the age of my home. I highly recommend AP Builders for any of your home improvement needs."

"We had a great experience with DAmore Contractors and cannot wait to have them back for more projects in the future. They did our basement, fireplace, kitchen island and back splash in the kitchen. When I originally reached out, Anthony came out that day to see the projects and give me some advice. He didn?t try to upsell, just quoted me what I asked for. He really listened. His estimate arrived in my email that night and he had his crew at our house within the week. It was incredible. They had everything done in just about 3 weeks. He was great at communicating everything to me through text even when I was working. Shout out to Steve, he is incredible at tile. I appreciated his patience and attention to detail. He is a perfectionist with tile and did a really nice job on the fireplace and back splash. The entire crew was kind, honest and did their best to not interfere with our day to day routine. They tarped off when needed and took care of all the clean up each day. We love our new"

"PERFECT / KNOWLEDGEABLE / EFFICIENT / HONEST would be the words I would use to describe LSVG Electrics. I had a circuit in the kitchen that was not getting any power even though the breaker in the main panel wasn't tripped so randomly picked LSVG Electrics for their assistance. Lou came out exactly at the time he said he would and quickly diagnosed the problem to be a burnt wire in a J-box in the basement and repaired it. If you are looking for an electrician that you can have confidence in ... please call LSVG Electrics ... because they know their stuff. I've only called electricians on a handful of occasions but LSVG electrics certainly was the BEST!!! and will use them for any other electrical issues I might encounter ... Regards, Keith K Algonquin IL"

His team completed our renovation on time, kept the workspace clean, and communicated with us every step of the way. The quality of the craftsmanship exceeded our expectations, and you can truly tell they take pride in their work. They transformed our kitcjen beautifully and made the entire process smooth and stress-free for my family. We are beyond happy with our kitchen and we couldn’t recommended him more."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Elburn, 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.
