"We're so happy we contacted Buck Buckley's Total Basement Finishing. We finished our basement just in time for the first Sunday Night Football Packers game last year. Not only were they professional, but they also finished a week early!!"

"We have been extremely happy with all of the workmanship and the workers were all very professional. When John had another contractor come in, as in when the concrete was poured in the garage, they were all professional tradesman and not handymen. We had daily communication on the progress and John always talked to us in detail on how the job was progressing. All material was high grade and best quality. The job site was always cleaned up at the end of the work day. We did go above our discussed budget, but only because of some issues that needed to be brought up to code and that we decided not to go a cheaper route to fix the issue. We also made the decision to change or add on to the original plan, but we have been extremely happy with the job(s) that were done and would not change a thing we had done. We are extremely happy that our home is now maintenance free and we have and still do receive many compliments on the improvements done to our home. We would recommend Beyer Builders to anyone looking to do any remodeling to their home, inside or out!"

"The whole team knows just how to design and everything to look for, having a customer that is so unsure is difficult for sure.  I bring all my clients to Mid West so that we can design the best space for the best price!  I wouldn't go anywhere else!  Thank you Team Midwest! <br />"

"Unique Builders did a fantastic job! They exceeded my expectations!! Am so happy I decided to go with them. Joel Boyer from Unique Builders spec'd out the job and explained the relative benefits of several composite materials vs. replacing it in new cedar wood siding. He provided a competitive professional bid on the job, which I chose to go with vs 2 other bids received. This is a very big, custom layout deck with a second smaller deck behind the house. They did a complete tear off off the old cedar wood surface decking boards and were able to reuse the wooden support framework underneath, so that stayed. They also tore off the old wooden railings and stairs. This was replaced with very durable composite decking boards and skirting called Deckorators Vault. It looks just like real wood only is much more durable. They also installed all new durable railings which look great! The top-notch crew (Dave, Matt and Adam) were fantastic to work with demonstrating excellent craftsmanship, were reliable, friendly, and easy to communicate with about various decisions we needed to make during the project. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was done right and to do the work I needed. What a pleasure to have such an excellent crew and company on this big job!"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Garden-prairie, 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.
