"Joe and his crew did a great job on repairing and painting my Yard Barn. They removed my rotted doors. Completed rebuilt the frame and created new doors which are much sturdier. They replaced a large portion of the back of the Yard Barn which was in need of repair and put a new one in it's place. They completely painted my entire Yard Barn for me and put new strips on my siding that needed replacement. My yard Barn looks even better than it did when it was first built. Joe is very personable and easy to work with as well. Highly recommend them !!"

"JT Remodeling finished our 1100 sqf. unfinished basement a few weeks ago. My wife and I chose JT Remodeling mainly because they gave us a very reasonable estimate, while other companies we talked with gave us outrageous estimates... Tomas and his helper, Daniel, showed up at our house on time every morning for four straight weeks. Each day, they gave us a progress report and their planned projects for the following few days. Everything went exactly as they promised and planned, and I know itâ s difficult to do so in a construction field. They missed their deadline only by â one dayâ and itâ s because it took longer than they expected for paints to dry on the walls (because itâ s winter now)... My wife and I changed our basement renovation plans slightly at several locations. Tomas and Daniel were very flexible and creative to accommodate our new requests... Even though their initial estimate was very reasonable, they stick to the promise and respected our budget. They didnâ t go even a penny over their estimate... We are now very happy with our newly renovated and beautiful basement. And, without hesitation or exaggeration, we would like to recommend JT Remodeling to anyone who is looking for a reasonable priced and professional basement renovation (that will go on time!!!). Thank you Tomas, Daniel, and Gabriela"

"We chose Design One to remodel our small galley kitchen after meeting with them and seeing their reviews. Initially, they presented as organized and professional. I wish we had asked more questions upfront. The quality of work was poor, especially drywall and basic carpentry skills. The average time spent was 10 hours/week. When they started work, all needed materials were in, yet it took over 7 weeks to complete. Requests for a schedule were evaded. There is no crew it is Rich, and occasionally Linda to assist. Very poor time management at the customer expense. Their lack of transparency regarding certain paperwork was troubling. What should have been a rewarding project became a large disappointment."

"Saw this guy driving on the highway with some serious road rage. Purposely swerving into another car and blocking them when they tried to pass. I wouldn't hire someone who loses their head that easily"

"Oxshore just finished a lovely deck on my daughter's townhome - the construction was outstanding, but the best part was working with Josiah, who made the whole process easy from start to finish. I'm grateful for his determination to stay within my budget. I would highly recommend Oxshore for its ethical and friendly business practices."

Remodeling your home is a big venture, and it is important that you feel comfortable with the contractor you choose. With over twenty years of construction and remodeling experience, The RDB Remodeling Group takes great pride in our efforts on making our customers satisfaction the number one priority by exceeding their expectations. We build relationships with our customers because we have a client for life philosophy. The RDB Remodeling Group believes that it is our unique approach along with the creative suggestions from our staff that give us a distinct advantage towards making your wishes become reality.

"In Spring 2024, Bob responded to our request to add a roughly 240 square foot addition to the back of our house. From the first phone call to the final walk through, Bob was a trusted presence and thorough communicator. He listed to our requests, answered our questions, offered suggestions and explained challenges in a consistent, clear and timely manner (which was extremely appreciated for first-timers going through this process). It's been roughly 8 months since completion and having a new office and family room has made a HUGE difference in my family's quality of life. His costs were fair and, given that we made some slight tweaks to our original plans, we stayed roughly within budget in terms of time and money. I highly recommend Bob and his excellent team of subcontractors as well."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Elgin, IL

While the terms remodeling, renovating, and finishing are often used interchangeably, there are some differences. Remodeling your basement transforms the space by changing its layout, adding new features, or altering its function. Renovating restores the existing space to like-new condition without major structural changes. Finishing converts an unfinished basement into a livable area with walls, ceilings, and flooring.

A full basement remodel typically takes two to six weeks, depending on the project's complexity and any unforeseen challenges. Factors like design changes, permitting, and material availability can affect the timeline, as well as the availability of the contractors you’re working with. Remember that the bigger the project, the longer it will take to complete.

Remodeling your basement is not just about gaining extra space—it's a savvy investment. You can expect around a 70% return on investment (ROI), comparable to other major home improvements like kitchen or bathroom remodels. Adding functional living space boosts your home's value and appeals to potential buyers. Plus, converting your basement into a rental apartment could provide additional income, increasing your return even more.
