"Our basement had an odd layout and we were not sure how we could make it a livable space. We also had a realistic budget as we are both working individuals with a family, trying to expand our home, within our personal means. Jolanta and her entire crew over exceeded our expectations. Every detail was completed meticulously. Everyone worked so hard and was so kind. We made modifications as the project progressed as we could see new visions and we were able to have input. It was a great partnership and the quality of the work is beyond our expectations. Highly recommend. Of note, I found Excellent remodeling on Angie’s list after receiving multiple bids I was not comfortable with and almost gave up on the project. Jolanta came out right away and her ideas, comfort level made me trust her. I am so thankful and could not have made a better decision. Thank you."

"Boz Construction is my go-to contractor for repairs and renos on my condo. They've repainted many of my rooms, and have done a complete remodel of my lower level living room to divide it and add a bedroom - the attention to detail is so good that you can't tell that it wasn't part of the original construction. They have also managed other minor repairs to my unit and some bigger maintenance projects for my condo building itself. While they might be more expensive than their competitors, what I've learned in this sector is that you get what you pay for and with Boz, it's been worth it."

"We hired John to build a pre-cut 8'x14' shed from Costco on our property. He and his associate dug and built a new base, constructed the shed (which was BEAR of a project) roofed it, painted it, and built a custom ramp for the shed. Throughout the entire project John was communicative, transparent, professional, timely and did a stellar job throughout the entire project. We are beyond satisfied with the results. Would highly recommend John for any sort of project you are considering."

"I had the pleasure of working with Mike, a general contractor for my multi-unit investment property on the northwest side of Chicago. Mike demonstrated a strong vision for how to add value to the property, offering creative solutions (adding livable square footage to the attic unit for a duplex up) that made a significant impact. His attention to detail and ability to identify areas for improvement helped enhance the property's after rehab value, all while staying within budget.

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Kenilworth, 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.
