"Ceaser from Top Bros Construction & Remodeling was great to work with. Quick response to questions and texts. Good team work with employees. From plumbing to electrical to finished project. I'm sure we will have them back for other projects we will need in the future. One before picture."

"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."

"Mark was punctual, and very attentive to the job. He was very knowledgeable of the old plumbing in our house that was built in the 1920s. After what he said was a struggle to get the old piping removed the new pipes went in smoothly. He was done with the job in a couple of hours. I would highly recommend him for the odd job or his specialty of carpentry!"

"There are a number of Important details remaining unfinished (since @ April 2017): railposts left unstable, no caulking done at all, routing of water runoff unfinished. I contacted him about it initially and he agreed to come by on a day (that turned out to be raining), so we agreed he would come by "next week" instead. But next week never came. I sent a number of texts to Josh, to which I received no response. I resolved to send one "final" text to him before writing a subpar review. He did respond to that one, with a sincere apology, an explanation, and to say he would come by to complete the work once he got caught up with his current work. That was in September, and by now I am feeling fairly confident that this job is not going to be finished. I feel partially responsible for this dilemma because I paid the bill before the job was fully completed. I was trusting, because as I said, Josh is a nice person."

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.
