"Jonathan did an amazing job with our bathroom remodel. This was a complete remodel with an oversized shower, patterned ceramic tile, beautiful sliding glass doors, and of course the sink, toilet and flooring. The job was done very well and in good timing. He was very professional and kind. I would highly recommend his team for any work that you may need done! "

"Mosby did a residential project about a year ago for us. Everything went well and Mosby was professional and courteous. Now there is a complication, and I am getting stonewalled with zero discussion of responsibility. After this, I would not use them again. They are not the cheapest; I expected better"

"I am very happy with the work that R&R Remodeling performed. Their estimate on when the project would start was right on time. The workers started at the same time every day and showed up when they said the would. They went above and beyond with my project. They made an estimation error which caused them to change the project slightly and no extra expense was charged. The price they quoted was the price I paid. Any issues that I found or brought up were fixed to my complete satisfaction. Their finish quality is excellent and I am completely satisfied. They were a pleasure to work with from the beginning of the project to the end. We met them at the St. Charles Home show which is where the process began. They came out and looked at our project and had us come into their showroom to look at the estimate. I would recommend R&R to anyone looking for a deck and cover project. I will definitely look them up again if I ever have another large project like this."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Highland, 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.
