"We hired Jakubek Remodeling after getting quotes from several other contractors to completely remodel our basement. They were the most attentive, detailed, and professional. We were happy to see that Robert and Dawid maintained their top tier service level throughout the life of the project. The Jakubek team worked quickly and skillfully, and were all very respectful while working in our home. The final product is beyond our expectations, and it was really stunning to see them turn our dream into reality. The best part of working with Jakubek was the transparency as the project progressed, and clear and consistent communication from day 1 until project completion. We are very happy that we selected Jakubek to transform our basement, and overall it was a very positive experience."

"We hired David to remodel our basement late last year. There was a late start initially, however the crew picked it up and did an amazing job with our basement. David clearly understood our key requirements and built the plan to accommodate the asks. He was flexible and most importantly available at all hours when we were out for selections. He recommended best options for floor tiles, cabinets and all accessories. We are extremely happy with the output and the great work Davidâ s crew did with our basement. We strongly recommend them."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review for CMC Remodeling LLC (Carlos & Melvin) I recently hired Carlos and Melvin from CMC Remodeling LLC to finish a 10x12 section in my garage attic for extra storage space — and I couldn’t be happier with the results. They cleaned and prepped the area, securely installed plywood for a stable floor, and carefully moved all my containers and boxes upstairs — no small task! They also installed extra lighting, handrails on both sides of the stairs for safety, and a sturdy platform at the attic entrance so I can easily access my items. They even covered all the stored containers with plastic to keep everything clean and dust-free. Carlos and Melvin were professional, punctual, and attentive to every detail. They made sure to check in with me throughout the project to confirm that everything matched my vision and comfort. They cleaned up thoroughly afterward, leaving the area spotless. I will definitely be using CMC Remodeling LLC again — not only for my home but a"

"HVAC was not draining properly and had to reroute drain tube to sump pump well with improved gravity feed for proper drainige (needed to go behind paneling in basement walls). They did an excellent job, works like a charm!"

"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"

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Glencoe, 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.
