"We recently had our kitchen remodeled, and we couldnâ t be more thrilled with the results. Werkman Builders exceeded all of our expectations from start to finish. They were professional, punctual, and attentive to every detail. The craftsmanship and quality of the work are outstandingâ every element of the kitchen was done to perfection. They kept the project on time and within budget, which was a huge relief. Communication was excellent throughout the process. They listened to our ideas, provided valuable suggestions, and kept us informed at every step. Michael and Mason were respectful of our home, cleaned up daily, and minimized disruption as much as possible. If youâ re looking for a contractor who delivers exceptional results with top-notch service, we highly recommend them. Our kitchen has been transformed into the space weâ ve always dreamed of!"

"Very happy with the work that was done -- driveway, sidewalks, and new front stoop. They were very helpful and accommodating as we made adjustments to our original design. Most other companies were scheduling weeks or months out, but Apex got back to me right away and finished the job quickly and on time as promised. Concrete is expensive, so be prepared to pay a lot, but I would highly recommend them and would definitely hire them again."

"Steve did a wonderful job on my bathroom remodel. He listened to my ideas and implemented them perfectly. I love my new bathroom, with the new crown molding and wainscoting. He was timely and got the job done quickly and efficiently and worked within my budget! He has done other work for me in the past including a whole house remodel, and has always been professional, quick, efficient and affordable!"

"The owner was very professional and curteous.  He took good notes and measurements regarding the work I was interested in having him quote.  I had explained to him we were wanting to place our home on the market here in a few years and were trying to spruce things up a little at a time.  He was knowledgeable enough to show us that our home would not meet the current electrical standards required in today's market.  We would not have known this was something we needed to take care of had he not pointed it out to us.  We will be having an update to our electrical connection to move us up to code. (Thank you!) <br /> I am still waiting for the quote, he indicated it might take about 2 weeks or so as he was busy and I had a lot of projects on my list. <br /> So far I am very pleased and would recommend them to anyone. <br />"

"Banks Remodeling just completed a major remodel of our master bathroom in a hundred-year-old house, which included tearing everything down to the studs, expanding the size of the space by several feet, building a new walk-in shower, installing tile throughout the shower and around the room as wainscoting, and repairing a ceiling below that had suffered water damage from the old shower. Giving up a good portion of your home to construction for over a month is not easy, but from start to finish, Banks Remodeling provided exceptional service. Josh and Meghan were always easy to reach and quick to respond to our questions, and a detailed schedule throughout the project was incredibly helpful. Every one of the workers, including the demo crew, framers, drywall installers, plumbers, electricians, painters, and tilers, were respectful, dedicated to the job, and cleaned up after each phase of the project. And special mention needs to go to Tate and Gerry, the two who spent the most time on the project, for their artistry with tile and careful attention to detail. We are thrilled with the outcome of the project and will definitely call on Banks Remodeling in the future for remodeling projects."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Heyworth, 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.
