"We chose Matrix for our basement remodeling. I would highly recommend them if you're looking for a "headache-free" experience. They are professional and keep the customer informed of the project status while it progresses. The project manager was always on top of any issues that might arise. We didn't have the time or energy to deal with shoddy contractors, that is why we went with Matrix. -I'm glad we did!!"

"We recently had our basement bathroom redone due to water damage from broken water pipes. It was a pleasure working with Angelo and his team who were all very professional and experienced. Angelo was in constant contact and made sure that all work was performed to my satisfaction."

"I hired Jose and his team to inspect and repair some water damage on the walls of two bathrooms. They were very quick to find the source of each problem, repair the problem, and then install new drywall. They were highly communicative the entire time so I was always aware of what was happening and could make decisions as needed. The finished product in both bathrooms is excellent. The walls look identical to my previous bathroom designs with a more suitable moisture-resistant drywall and paint compared to what I previously had. I got multiple quotes before hiring Big Rock Remodeling, and I chose them because they were most effective at understanding my problem and recommending efficient solutions for a sensible price. They also completed all of the work themselves, while many other companies said they couldn't handle both water damage remediation and reconstruction. I highly recommend Big Rock Remodeling. They are now my go-to contractors for any future remodeling needs."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Gilberts, 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.
