"We recently had our 1,400-square-foot basement finished, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. The project included two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a versatile multi-purpose space with two kitchen cabinet areas—and everything was completed beautifully. From start to finish, Scot proved to be an outstanding project manager. Communication was consistent and clear throughout the entire process, which made a big difference in keeping everything on track and stress-free. He was also incredibly efficient, ensuring the project moved forward smoothly without sacrificing quality. His crew was a pleasure to work with—professional, respectful, and clearly skilled in their craft. The attention to detail and precision in their work really stood out, from the finishes to the overall layout and functionality of the space. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented contractor. Our basement turned out even better than we envisioned."

"We remodeled our primary bathroom with 4Ever Remodeling, and the experience was positive. The custom shower with ceramic tile and a custom glass door looks beautiful, and the built-in corner bench adds a thoughtful touch. We love our new freestanding bathtub and the delta faucets. The double vanity with a quartz countertop is both practical and functional, and the dual sinks make mornings easier. From in-home design consultation, thru design process, management and installation, every detail was handled with care and precision. Highly recommend for primary bathroom redesign and remodel. Very good experience."

Customers say: Quality work

"Jeff had done beautiful work at my parents house so I was excited to use him for a kitchen remodel in my first home. He is always friendly, professional, and responsive. He can handle any kind of issue that may arise, such as the need to move an unexpected vent. For our kitchen he tore down a pantry closet and the soffit, installed new flooring, cabinets, backsplash, shelving, range hood, lighting. He has great recommendations and his attention to detail is impeccable. We highly recommend Jeff and his team for your project!"

"At the recommendation on Studio 41, we initially contacted Brian at Elevations Remodeling for our complete kitchen remodel project. We had a pleasure of working with Brian, Marcin and Hugo. From the initial meeting to end of the work, the team has shown immense interest in our project and has executed the work on time, within the budget and most importantly to our satisfaction. Brian and his team (Marcin and Hugo) have laid out the plan for remodeling our kitchen and have executed perfectly. Brian is always accommodating to our wishes and always discussed in detail when problem arose. We need to specifically highlight two of Brian's employees Marcin and Hugo who were outstanding in their work. They have listened to our needs and offered their advice and expertise when needed. What is amazing about Brian's employees are, they have nothing but praise for their boss and their positivity translates into doing excellent work. The end product (our new Kichen) is absolutely beautiful. We are very happy with our new remodeled kitchen. If you are looking for an experienced and knowledgeable team for any of your new projects and want to execute on time and within the budget, we highly recommend considering Elevations Remodeling team. Sincerely, Raj P and Kavita P Woodridge, IL"

"I’ve always wanted a second bathroom. I contacted JK Complete R&C. Jack came to my home and assessed the would be project. Jack gave me a reasonable price, start and proposed finish date. Then I met the crew John, Mike and Ziggy. We had a great relationship. Everything that was to be accomplished was explained to me on a daily bases. By the end of the project we had a bond and it felt like family. I also learned quite a bit in the process. I am total fascinated with my new bathroom. I have already recommended JK Complete to family members."

"Kris did an amazing job. It was a huge job he did by the book. His experience is evident in his accuracy and efficiency. Kris was onsite everyday and worked in a strategic way that there was never any lost time. He has a great eye for detail and design. You can tell he has a passion for his work. He consulted me often when changes needed to be made to the prints. Great communication during the whole project. He works excellent with DYI'ers like myself. He was patient with me and my hundred questions. He was also very flexible if I changed my mind or had an alteration to the original plan. I look forward to working with Kris again."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Glen Ellyn, 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.
