"We had to redo our front stairs because the wood was very degraded. We also were looking at replacing the front doors at the entrance of the porch. It was a small job, and some larger companies were not too interested doing it. Dave Lupfer showed interest in the job, and he recommended the use of timber tech Azec, a material more expensive than wood but that does not need to be painted every year or two in order to remain in good condition. The job took longer than usual in the Summer/Fall of 2020, thanks to the Covid-19 epidemic (during the same period we had to wait 3 months to get a new freezer delivered, so no blame here). Contrary to other companies that came for an estimate, Dave Lupfer right away said that the doors were made of really good wood and all they needed was being repainted and balanced. That saved us quite a bit of money. We had to wait for a while for the stairs because the factory making the timber tech Azec had been shut down for a while, due to Covid-19. The job was performed by Dave's crew early November, they replaced the rotten wood and railings with the Azec material, and we now have a great looking front entrance to our porch. The job looks really well done, with no misalignment or unbalanced parts. I would certainly recommend Lupfer Builders."

"I had a great experience working with Don Lorenc Construction Services and his team on our bathroom repair and remodel. They handled every aspect of the project from start to finish, making the process feel seamless and stress-free. The craftsmanship really shows, especially in the new ceramic floor, which turned out beautifully and completely elevated the space. The team was quick and efficient without cutting corners, and they were consistently respectful and easy to have in our home. I genuinely enjoyed working with them and would confidently recommend them to anyone looking for quality work and a smooth renovation experience."

"Jacek and his team did a phenomenal job on my basement remodel. I had a 1000 sq-ft unfinished basement and wanted to turn it into livable space. Jacek and his team did a phenomenal job my space into to a master bedroom ensuite with a full bath. They were exceptional in performing the the required tasks in terms of professionalism, quality, cleanliness, attention to detail, and responsiveness. I would definitely recommend them to any one."

"I hired ABC Home Expert to remodel my entire first floor, and I’m very happy with how everything turned out. We spent around $63,000 including materials and cabinets, and the results really transformed our home. The project included remodeling a small guest bathroom and laundry area, replacing all the flooring in the living room, dining room, and kitchen, updating the kitchen cabinets and countertops, and painting the entire kitchen. They also added can lights, which made a big difference in how bright and welcoming the space feels. One thing I really appreciated was the support I received from their team throughout the process. Before starting, they worked on four different design options to make sure we found the perfect fit for our needs and style. They were professional, patient, and always available to answer questions or make adjustments when needed. Overall, it was a smooth experience, it took a little more than two months. I am glad it is over and I can enjoy my home. I would definitely recommend ABC Home Expert to anyone planning a home remodel."

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.
